World Renowned Gospel Artist Micah Stampley Embarks On Entreprenuerial Venture To Self-Release Sophomore Album

Micah Stampley, the male Gospel breakout artist of 2005, is back with his sophomore album, A Fresh Wind. After only one year and incredible debut success including the second highest debut for a Male Gospel Artist in the history of Billboard, a double 2006 Stellar Award nomination in the “Male Vocalist of the Year” and “New Artist of the Year” categories, and a personal invitation to perform a gospel music selection to honor “the Queen of Soul” Aretha Franklin at the upcoming An Evening of Stars Tribute to Aretha Franklin benefiting the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) Micah is releasing his soon to be hit song of the year “Never Let You Go.”

A Fresh Wind, is a refreshing compendium of exuberant worship and praise melodies and Micah’s latest heart touching lyrical and musical masterpiece. The single “Never Let You Go” expresses the emptiness of life without Christ as our anchor, and the hope and security that can only be found in the clutch of his hand. A Fresh Wind delivers a fresh sound to an ancient message. The debut single for the sophomore album, “Never Let You Go” is a musically directed expression of spiritual fulfillment for the thirsting and longing soul.

A Fresh Wind is the product of a combination of Micah Stampley’s years of experience as a world renowned Praise and Worship leader, life lessons, and divine direction. “The first thing that I want people to feel when they listen to this new project is the Love of God. I want to pull them into an experience that might be new for them or maybe even refreshing. We all need a "refreshing" sometimes. Recording this project was like being lifted up into a new dimension in my relationship with my Father; whom I love so much! I'll never let Him go and I want the listeners to enjoy God just as much as I enjoy Him,” explains Micah.

A Fresh Wind will be released on Levitical Records LLC the entrepreneurial venture of Micah and Heidi Stampley and distributed nationally by Central South Distribution, Inc. Central South distributes many of the top Christian artist and Christian divisions of many major labels including projects by platinum artist Take 6, gold artist Juanita Bynum, Tammy Trent, and Helen Baylor to name a few. “It was pretty amazing to see people sow into this "movement". I don't consider this process as being just another recording, but I see this as being a tool to help people get back to their Creator and Father! Companies, individuals and organizations have given unconditionally to this cause! I could not have done this without the love and support of my wife, my children and countless others who have blessed us with their giving,” says Micah about the new project and Levitical Records LLC.

Levitical Records LLC was conceived out of a two-fold vision. First, to raise the standards of practice within the Christian music industry and secondly, to help restore the integrity of music ministry within the community of those that have made a declaration of Christianity. This vision coupled with Micah’s God-given musical talent and multi-octave voice makes for a combination that is sure to glorify God and minister to the hearts and lives of millions.

On October 10, 2006 “Never Let You Go” and A Fresh Wind will be released and Micah will begin the 20 city Passion Tour with Juanita Bynum.
