Pebble Street Record Label head, E. Dewey Smith is setting the tone for 2022 by entering the TOP 10 Billboard Gospel Airplay Charts with his debut single, “Your Presence Is A Gift”. This is the first single from his debut EP, “God Period” that held the top spot on the 2021 Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart for multiple weeks. “God Period” also concluded the year finishing in Billboard’s ‘Top 50 Gospel Albums’ of 2021.
When asked about his inspiration for the single, “Your Presence Is a Gift” Dewey responded saying: “This song means so much to me because it’s a tribute to my mother who passed away a few years ago. Actually, my godmother, mother, best friend from college & sister all passed away within 28 days. After going through a major depression, I realized that I had been fixating over my deceased loved ones’ absence and not appreciating God’s presence.”
He went on to say, “Although we’ve all dealt with loss, it’s assuring to know that God’s presence is a gift.”
“God Period” is now available to be streamed on all streaming platforms. Physical copies can be ordered on edeweysmith.org.
