“Lovely Day’s” First Single “Heritage” Goes To Radio!

BELOVED is back! Hot on the heels of their history making self titled debut album, the group is turning it up a notch with their sophomore release “Lovely Day”. The first single “Heritage” was released to radio today and is quickly getting adds across the country. The group wrote the song last year after the loss of their maternal grandmothers. The group was reflecting on how they were so blessed to have strong women of God as grandmothers. That Christian heritage passed down has made them who they are today and indeed very blessed. In the writing process the girls had this idea of including a very special guest to represent all grandmothers. Who better than the legendary Eva Mae LeFevre? The group gave her a call and happily she said yes! It was such a special night to have Eva Mae in the studio with Beloved. She is such a wonderful blessing to all who meet her. Many thanks to her and the countless years she has given to the ministry of sharing the gospel through song. She is the Queen of Southern Gospel.

Catching Up With Beloved Between Releases!

After taking some time off from recording, Kim, Amy, and Denise just finished up their sophomore release “Lovely Day”. The group started recording at the end of last year and made trips to Nashville in between women’s ministry events. The group has had so much fun meeting all the many ladies at these events. The group is so blessed to know God’s call on their ministry. In between the studio time and the ministry events, Denise Clark’s daughter, Michelle got married. That experience even spawned a song on the new record “The One My Soul Loves”. Amy Goins has been busy keeping up her lawn & decorating her new house! Kim Gravel has been taping her TV show “Friends & Neighbors” & working at WATC TV57 as programming assistant. In between the two releases came some very important landmarks in the ladies lives.
