Rising Contemporary Gospel Group Livre Releases New Single, "I Will Be Alright"
New York City-based, rising contemporary urban group Livre (pronounced Liv-ray) announced the release of their highly anticipated new radio single, "I Will Be Alright," from their forthcoming debut self-titled project LIVRE.
According to the group's website, Livre was Divinely created:
Livre' was born on a blessed Sunday morning during a praise and worship session at Family Baptist Church. Though they each belonged to different churches it was a family affair style friendship that brought them all into the same house of worship that morning. They are all sons and daughters of preachers who once sang in the Bronx Mass Choir. Their voices blended so beautifully and naturally that morning after only one rehearsal it was suggested that they form a group. Each member has contributed to the conception of Livre'- a scintillating blend of modern gospel, techno pop and crossover soul.
Since formation, Livre has worked with some of the biggest names in Gospel and Contemporary Christian Music, including Hezekiah Walker, Donnie McClurkin, Marvin Sapp and Israel Houghton. The group also worked with mega-platinum R&B/pop star Alicia Keys on her single "How it Feels to Fly," from her album, The Element of Freedom.
Livre is comprised of members Ajanee Hambrick, Ariel Malloy, Malik Spence, Kenneth Williams, and Richard Tolbery - five unique individuals with a shared passion to "fire up the souls of true believers" and "win the souls of young people unacquainted with Christ or hiding from Him without reason."
And with their contemporary sound, hip choreography and slick presence, they are sure to be successful.
In support of the single, Livre will be embarking on a whirlwind, 16-city promo tour, beginning next in Indianapolis on March 3 and closing with a stop in Los Angeles on March 16, just in time for BET's Annual Celebration of Gospel.
