Gospel music fans have been raving about one of the genre’s finest vocalists, Earnest Pugh. “Mr. Rain On Us”, as he is affectionately known, is one of 2010’s breakout artists. Hot on the heels of last year’s smash hit, the award-winning vocalist is prepping for his next Black Smoke Music record entitled, Earnestly Yours, officially dropping on Tuesday, June 28, 2011. Fans of the celebrated singer will be able to participate in the release of the artist’s new project near the psalmist’s hometown. Hosted by DC’s Inspiration Station, Praise 104.1FM, The Earnest Pugh DC Listening Party/CD Release of Earnestly Yours will take place on Monday, June 27, 2011, at 7:00PM at The Atrium at the Treetops (8181 Professional Place, Suite 200, Hyattsville, MD 20785).

The artist’s third CD, Earnestly Yours, is a perfect follow-up to the project that put him on the gospel music map. Produced by Michael Bereal, the twelve-song CD contains brilliant musical arrangements and dazzling songwriting coupled with stand-out vocals. Together they make the perfect equation for an unforgettable musical experience. No song brings that fact to the forefront as the lead single, “I Need Your Glory”, a breathtakingly beautiful cut and five-minute melodic masterpiece. Played on radio nationwide, the song is catching fire. The track recently jumped onto the Billboard Top Gospel Songs Chart Top 20 at #12, moving from its entry at #29. Earnestly Yours also features guest performances by songstress Beverly Crawford on the riveting “For My Good” and Lisa Knowles of the Brown Sisters on “He Already Knows”.
