Gospel Music's Brian Courtney Wilson Back Again With More 'Love'

Brian Courtney Wilson has been having an incredible year. His Music World Gospel debut 'Just Love,' has held steady in the top 15 on the Billboard Top Gospel Album chart for over 76 weeks since it debuted #2 and the album's lead single 'All I Need' broke the all-time record for the longest-running current single ever in the history of the Billboard Gospel Charts.

Now, the Dove Award nominee is readying the album's re-release on Oct. 5.
"We have been very successful with the first release and we thought this was a great opportunity to re introduce who I am and what I am doing as well as put some new music on there for people who are supporting us," he shared with us.

'Just Love Deluxe Edition' will include five brand-new songs, including his new single, 'Awesome God.'

The University of Illinois graduate said that 'Awesome' is one of the first songs he recorded and that he's happy to re-record it especially since he wasn't the first choice to sing the song.

Music World head Mathew Knowles, who also manages the careers of his superstar daughter, Beyonce and recently signed Dr. Juanita Bynam II to his gospel imprint, couldn't be more pleased with Wilson's success and how quickly his new single is catching on.

"[He]is one of those rare talents to come along and earn the praise of gospel fans and who will certainly have a long term career," the black music maverick told BlackVoices.com. "We are proud of the accomplishments and the history making achievements that Brian and the Music World Gospel family have made. This is only the beginning."

Wilson said he's been most grateful to have such a supportive label boss.
"He's been very supportive from the start and allowed me to be myself in a way that's unique to any other label and to allow me to find my voice," the married father of two said. "Even with the re-launch he's put his money where his mouth is in support of what I am doing."

On Oct.8, he will join Marvin Sapp on the 'Most Powerful Voices Gospel Tour' sponsored by the American Heart Association/American Stoke Association's 'Power to End Stroke' initiative.

Wilson, who resides in Houston, Texas, is looking forward to learning from the 'Never Would've Made It' crooner on the trek.

"He's been doing this for years and from what I've seen from him he's been steady and not allowed the notoriety and the fame that comes with doing this type of work keeping him from keeping the main thing the main thing which has always been his family and God."

Wilson continued, "More than learning from him, just showing my love and support to him," given the recent loss of Sapp's wife.
In the midst of his success he's staying grounded, though.

"It's been great. Just getting an opportunity to find out that people can connect with your music universally is very inspiring to me," the ex-pharmaceutical salesman revealed.

And, that music is sure to continue inspiring gospel music lovers for a long time to come.
