The fact that the 2019 hit “Blessings on Blessings” spawned its own line dance is proof that Anthony Brown & group therAPy aren’t your typical gospel act. Ever since dropping their debut record in 2012, they have cultivated a genre-bending fusion of funk, R&B, and pop topped off with vocal arrangements boasting all the intricacy of The Richard Smallwood Singers. This bold originality extends to Brown’s lyrics. A probing songwriter who has also worked with Maurette Brown Clark and Stephen Hurd, Brown uses his love of Jesus Christ as a lens through which he examines pressing societal issues in cathartic anthems like 2020’s “Call To Action.”
