As with many, 2021 brought new challenges and obstacles for award-winning gospel recording artist, songwriter, and producer Marcus Jordan. For nearly two weeks in January 2021, he was fighting for his life in ICU due to COVID-19 and pneumonia. Even though circumstances brought uncertainty following his near-death experience, Marcus’ trust in God never failed. Months later his time of isolation and recovery birthed open heaven of newly composed songs.
Marcus Jordan launched into the gospel music scene in 2017 with his debut single “You Are Here.” He followed it up with his second single and title track “I Will Bless the Lord” from his debut album in January 2018. “Give God the Glory” served as his next single (May 2019), which had success reaching #1 on the Nielsen BDS Internet Gospel Radio Panel chart. Internet phenomenon Karlton Humes, best known as NotKarltonBanks, gave a comedic parody of his 2020 single “I Can” to his 1 million Instagram (@notkarltonbanks) followers. The video has generated over 212K views and 33K likes.
