Billboard charting Pop-Gospel group, Brandon Camphor & One Way, have recorded a brilliant acapella rendition of the Black National Anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing” (One Way Movement/ Warner Music Group), in celebration of Black Music Month. “It’s not only an anthem,” says Camphor. “It’s also a prayer of thanksgiving to God for His faithfulness and our freedom. That’s what inspired us to record it.”
Three of the Washington, D.C.-based foursome of Julia McMillan, Fred Cleveland, Angela Marie Jones, and group leader, Brandon Camphor, have been singing the song since their days as students at the Duke Ellington School for the Performing Arts. “Angela and I were in the school choir together, Fred was in the theater department,” Camphor recalls. “We sang that at almost every school concert.” The audio and a music video of the 2-minute rendition will release to Apple Music, iTunes, and YouTube on June 4th. On that date, the audio will also release to all other major digital service providers globally.
