The year after a major
win on any reality singing competition, is often the telling year. It’s the
year that makes or breaks an artist, and determines if they can stand on their
own two feet. The second project, for such artists, is just as telling – it
represents whether singers can develop into their own, or whether they fade
away after the TV crowds can no longer view them from week to week on their
favorite network. Joshua Rogers, Season 5 winner of BET’s hit series, Sunday
Best, has just released his second project atop the Billboard Gospel Charts at
#2 in his first week of sales, with his debut release, Well Done premiering in
2012 at #1 on the Billboard Charts. The young singer, who made history as both
the youngest winner of the series, as well as the only male winner, has made a
declaration that he is here to stay with the release of his current project –
"Unconditional"
The latest release from
the 19-year-old phenom, is his first album with original content, 90% of which
is written or co-written by him. "Unconditional" showcases the
singer’s growth, diversity, effortless range, and youthful vitality. Still, Rogers
reminds listeners that he is well beyond his years, delivering hymns and
standards with the poise and passion of a seasoned vocalist matched with
vibrant up-tempo tunes that beckon all who hears it to move. After completing
the first leg of his Unconditional Tour, which kicked off in London, and hit
major cities such as Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Washington DC, NYC and
culminated in his hometown of South Carolina, Rogers is now prepping for the
release of the music video for his current single, So Good. Rogers is taking
his time, doing the necessary hard work to lay the groundwork for a
long-lasting career, and his fans couldn't be happier.
"Unconditional" is available on iTunes, Amazon and stores everywhere.
