‘Fast Forward,’ the new release by The Walls Group, debuted at #1 on the Gospel Album Sales Chart and Billboard’s Top Christian/Gospel Albums Chart. Executive produced by multi-platinum gospel star Kirk Franklin, ‘Fast Forward,’ features 10 tracks of modern, up-beat and progressive music with strong gospel influences.
“I can’t find the words to explain how proud I am of The Walls Group and how thankful I am that the public went out and supported both a new group and a new company,” said Kirk Franklin. “I am truly humbled.”
Inspired by the group’s multi-generational appeal, Franklin wrote and produced eight of the album’s 10 songs and appears on the track, ‘Beautiful.’ Eldest member of the group, Darrel, also wrote two tracks, ‘Great Is Your Love’ and ‘Freedom.’ The album includes collaborations with R&B artist, Brandy on ‘God On My Mind,’ and Christian rapper, Lecrae, on ‘High.’
Houston-based siblings, Ahjah (16), Paco (18), Rhea (19) and Darrel (23) have been on the fast track to success and received over a million views on Vevo for their first single, ‘Perfect People.’ Also, they toured nationally with gospel artist, Tye Tribbett, and debuted a #1 selling album.
Yet, the group remains humble. They agree that the soul-searching single, ‘Satisfied,’ reminds them to keep their eyes on the true prize. “If I never get that house, that car / Or be a superstar / And my dreams, never come true / Will I be satisfied with You?”
The single, ‘Love On The Radio,’ peaked at #10 on the Christian/Gospel Chart and continues to go strong on radio. The new video for ‘ debuted recently on Vevo and has already received more than 30,000 views.
‘Fast Forward’ is a testament to the unique talent of The Walls Group. More importantly to the group, however, this project stands as a sonically rich and spiritually uplifting testimony, explained Darrel.
“We say it all the time. This album is an album of messages. There’s a message in every song that’s needed for somebody. If you feel some kind of way about your life, there’s something on this album that will help you.”
