Artist:Brian Courtney Wilson
Song:A Great Work
Album:A Great Work
After recording two albums on Music World and appearing with the United Tenors, gospel artist Brian Courtney Wilson switched labels for the 2015 album Worth Fighting For. His 2018 album and single A Great Work was very successful. He won a Stellar award for the song. From what I could tell, he was looking for better promotion and distribution. The label he moved to is now called Motown Gospel. It was previously called EMI Gospel. EMI entered into a partnership with Universal so the Motown name could be used. I recall laughing when the announcement was made because Motown is not known for gospel. The label operation is the same. All the same artists are there. Wilson signed before the name change. The big change when Wilson moved there is he worked on both albums with producer Aaron Lindsey. Lindsey has produced gospel artists since the late 90s. He's worked a lot with Israel & New Breed. That's a very anthemic style of gospel music. That may be the sound that Wilson was after. Certainly A Great Work is a very anthemic song and it did very well in the gospel market. It's a much bigger sound than his early albums. His 2021 album Still is live so he's working with different producers. It remains to be seen if Wilson returns to Lindsey. Here's the video for A Great Work by Bryan Courtney Wilson.
