TBGB received this press release from David V. Taylor of RedeemedSoul.com. He had me at “Bridgette Campbell,” whose independent label debut featured the gorgeous gospel ballad, “Because of You.” Campbell is on The New Soul project described below…
Since RedeemedSoul.com launched its debut CD The New Soul last year, the label has been steadily generating a growing media buzz and fan base. David V. Taylor, founder and president of the Indianapolis-based urban soul gospel label, can’t be more pleased.
“I’m so happy with the award recognition that we’ve received,” Taylor said. “I’m especially thankful for the many people who’ve purchased our CD and then shared with me how our music gave them encouragement and inspiration.”
The New Soul features 15 soulful inspirational tracks. Gospel music veteran Denise Tichenor passionately sings the worship ballad “I Bow Down.” Chicago gospel vocalist Bridgette Campbell delivers a soul-stirring performance on the praise anthem “He Reigns.”
Newcomer Lonna Hardin provides her inspirational neo-soul sound on “Tender Mercy,” a song even suitable for mainstream R&B radio stations. “There’s music for praise and worship and music just to vibe to,” Taylor added. The New Soul was masterfully produced by established gospel music-industry producers Noel Hall (Fred Hammond, Martha Munizzi), Roger Ryan (Shirley Caesar, Benita Washington), Berris Bolton (Fortitude), and Jason Tyson (Smokie Norful).
“It was important for us to work with established producers who could capture our unique soulful musical sound,” Taylor said. “The strong music production has given RedeemedSoul.com credibility.”
One more reason to love Indy, a city that has already given gospel the legendary Kenneth Woods Jr., Beatrice Brown and Brown’s Inspirational Singers, Al “The Bishop” Hobbs, the late Robert Turner and the Silver Hearts, and plenty more artists, I’m certain (and apologize for not including on this list).

RedeemedSoul.com is the truth…
I honestly just want to be down. With all of the annointing and power that flows from the current stable of artist I want to know.. where do I sign up? THE FUTURE IS LOOKING REALLY REALLY BRIGHT. Indianapolis was in desperate need of a legit indie gospel label. Thank God now we have RedeemedSoul.
I just want to say… send my love to RedeemedSoul. They are making some really good music and they have some powerful artist. I can’t help but marvel at the quality and the annointing.
Indianapolis does have a nice collection of solid gospel artist we just have never had a truly professional indie gospel label. We’re on the come up… Go RedeemedSoul, go!!!
