Music Christian Group. The album's title sums up the singer/songwriter's music and ministry, crossing all cultural and racial boundaries thanks to a combination of modern gospel, R&B, pop, latin and traditional praise and worship.
"The body of Christ needs to galvanize to reach the world and that means really closing the gap between races within the body of Christ," says LeVar. "It's my prayer that Let's Come Together can create harmony on all levels, especially when you think of harmony in musical contexts and the fact it takes two different notes to have harmony. If it's just the same note over and over, that's only an octave, but when it's two, three or four different voices, it's a beautiful harmony and that's how I liken it to when we all get to heaven, regardless of what we might look like on earth."
In recent weeks, LeVar has appeared on BET, TBN, Daystar, The Word Network and Gospel Music Channel, with many more television appearances planned through the fall, including "Bobby Jones Gospel." He's also had prominent performances at the NBA All-Star Weekend in Denver, the Civil War Memorial on Capitol Hill, Gospel Music Workshop of America in Nashville, Expolit Conference in Miami and Bishop TD Jakes' The Potter's House in Dallas, plus appearances at the September 11th Memorial in Washington D.C. and the Tsunami Memorial in Colombo Sri Lanka (which led to an appearance on "Good Morning Sri Lanka" in front of 9 million viewers).
While his debut album is poised to make LeVar a household name, he's not new to the Gospel music world... His voice can be heard on GRAMMY Award nominee Myrna Summers' His Mercy Endureth Forever and GRAMMY Award winner Dorinda Clark-Cole's latest project The Rose of Gospel, on which he wrote and performed on the single "Everything He Promised." LeVar also wrote the hit song "Amazing God" which he performed with Stellar Award nominee Pastor William Murphy on his CD The Sound. Appearing on such prominent albums expanded LeVar's ministry reach all across the globe, including opportunities to share the stage with such gospel greats as Kurt Carr, Mary Mary, Vicki Yohe, Leon Timbo, Darlene McCoy and many others.
"Universal Christian Music Group has been such a blessing because they really believe in this project, plus they have the networks and channels where they can really push it properly," LeVar adds. "I believe that they are the perfect match, and as I look back on all the Lord's led me through, I just find myself trusting in Him more and more day by day and I know whatever will happen with Let's Come Together from here on out is all in His hands."
Let's Come Together will contain bonus material including the music video for the album's debut single, "You're Not Alone," which is currently receiving significant airplay on various networks including Gospel Music Channel, where it premiered in August.
