Joined by his choir, New G, Dillard shines on his new project, which includes the already-popular radio single “Release” featuring Tiff Joy, the mid-tempo choir groove “Since He Came,” and the remake of a New G classic on “More Abundantly Medley.” As a prayer for the uncertain times the world is facing, Ricky Dillard also releases the fourth song and live performance video from the new album today—the passionate “Let There Be Peace On Earth.”
Recorded live to a sold-out audience in Chicago last Fall, Choirmaster returns to the churchy sound and style of choir music in 11 spirit-filled and soul-refreshing tracks. Choirmaster is classic Ricky Dillard and New G in every way, harkening back to the innovative sound that elevated his career and established him as a pioneer and iconic choir force.
