JGM Pick of the Week – January 6, 2026
“Broken Habits” KamSam The Unstoppable Music (release date: December 16, 2025) By Robert M. Marovich Vulnerability, faith, and gratitude gush out of London-based gospel singer Patrice Tate-Samuel, aka KamSam, as she works her troubles out on “Broken Habits.” By giving herself over to Jesus, she affirms, she can break through the barriers she has created within herself. The song, which artfully blends CCM and gospel, possesses a catchy melody, plenty of punch in the arrangement, and a solid selection of background vocalists. KamSam is an authentic-sounding singer whose articulation and power should carry her far.

Imari Tones – Coming Back Alive
Coming Back Alive, the title of the group's nineteenth full-length album, is not metaphorical.
