LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, August 25, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Gospel recording artist, musician and actor David Daughtry is ready to give gospel music lovers something to sing, shout and praise about. His highly anticipated new album, DON’T LET GO, will be released Tuesday, August 25, 2026, on all major digital music and streaming platforms.
Fresh. Churchy. Powerful. Anointed.
Those four words capture the spirit of DON’T LET GO, a project filled with the unmistakable energy of the church while showcasing Daughtry’s signature vocals, musicianship and passion for ministry. From beginning to end, the album delivers songs designed to encourage, inspire and remind listeners of the faithfulness of God.
Led by the single “The Good Shepherd,” DON’T LET GO features a collection of songs that move seamlessly from worship to high-energy praise. Among the album’s standouts are “Lift Him Up,” “That’s Why I Praise Him,” “Leap 2.0” and many more. It is a project created for gospel music lovers who still love great singing, great musicianship and the authentic sound and spirit of the church.
“This project comes from a very personal place for me,” says Daughtry. “DON’T LET GO is a message I believe somebody needs right now. Whatever you are facing, whatever the circumstances may look like, don’t let go of your faith. Don’t let go of your praise. And most importantly, don’t let go of God. I poured my heart into this music, and my prayer is that every song ministers to people wherever they are and reminds them that God has not forgotten them.”
AN AWARD-WINNING PRODUCER AND EXCEPTIONAL MUSICIANS
Helping bring the sound and musical vision of DON’T LET GO to life is award-winning producer Asaph Alex Ward, whose production provides the foundation for a project that is contemporary yet deeply rooted in the sound of the church.
