Powerhouse Teen Singer Jekalyn Carr Impacts Billboard Top Gospel Chart With Single "Greater is Coming"
Powerhouse teen singer, speaker Jekalyn Carr is impacting Billboard's Top Gospel radio airplay charts with her hit single "Greater is Coming", the title track from her forthcoming album. A confirmation anthem for those seeking to reach their spiritual destiny, "Greater is Coming" enters Billboard's Top Gospel Songs airplay chart this week at #33, positioned just above Whitney Houston's "His Eye Is On The Sparrow" from the movie "Sparkle".
Released on Arkansas-based Lunjeal Music Group record label and available on iTunes, "Greater is Coming" speaks of the shaking, the beating and the pressing that we sometimes experience through life's trials. And Jekalyn's heartfelt delivery resonates with audiences everywhere as she sings with conviction that "greater is coming" despite the distress.
With incredible charisma and a powerful voice, Jekalyn has garnered the attention of award winning gospel artists like Cece Winans, James Fortune, Donnie McClurkin and Shirley Caesar. "(Jekalyn) is a blessing for the next generation," says gospel star Cece Winans. And, international televangelist Benny Hinn who has regularly featured Jekalyn at his crusades says Jekalyn is "God's chosen to help lead and inspire many."
Jekalyn was recently featured in JET Magazine as one of the "Top 10 New Faces You Need to Know." The 15-year-old singer was the youngest and the only teen on JET's exclusive list of "young, gifted and black" professionals at the top of their field and under 40 years old.
Having appeared before audiences of 17,000 and more, Jekalyn travels across the U.S. singing and speaking at conferences and youth events and spreading the words of her song that "greater is coming." Some of Jekalyn's upcoming TV appearances include "The Dorinda Show", "Atlanta Live" and The WORD Network's live taping of "The Shifting Revival" at Brown Missionary Baptist Church in Southaven, MS where Jekalyn will co-host with Bishop Eric Lloyd of Detoit, MI.
