With her latest release “Tasha”, gospel powerhouse Tasha Cobbs Leonard steps into uncharted territory – both musically and spiritually. She trades traditional gospel grandeur for stripped-back worship, raw vulnerability, and genre-defying collaborations that explore what it truly means to encounter God in the everyday. This album isn’t just another project – it’s a reflection of a woman who has wrestled with pain, walked through healing, and chosen to pour it all back out in worship. “This album is the truest expression of who I am right now,” says Tasha Cobbs Leonard. “It’s vulnerable, it’s honest, it’s joyful – and it’s rooted in everything I believe about God meeting us exactly where we are. We didn’t hold back in the writing or the production. Every song is a piece of my journey, and I hope people find their own stories in it too.” That sentiment radiates from the very first note to the final chorus, making Tasha her most personal and Spirit-led project to date. The brand new album is out now on all digital music platforms.
The standout single ‘Church‘ a stirring collaboration with John Legend, is a call to rediscover worship outside of tradition and ritual. With the soul-stirring lyric, “Teach me how to have church on a Monday,” the song echoes the heart of the album: that God meets us just as powerfully in the ordinary as He does in sacred spaces. Legend’s soulful restraint and Cobbs Leonard’s powerhouse vocals form a beautifully reverent moment, highlighting their shared reverence for authenticity in worship.
Another gem, ‘The Hand That Keeps Holding Me‘ is a tender ballad that speaks to anyone navigating brokenness or weariness. With poetic lyrics and a moving orchestral backdrop, Tasha reminds listeners that God’s faithfulness isn’t reserved for mountaintops – it shows up in the deepest valleys. The song becomes less of a performance and more of a quiet testimony, a lifeline for those longing to be reminded that they are not alone.
Across 15 tracks, Cobbs Leonard fearlessly explores new sonic terrain – mixing gospel with R&B, pop, hip-hop, and even touches of soul and retro funk. Collaborations with Lecrae, Kirk Franklin, and Chandler Moore give the album rich variety, but the message never strays: God is present, real, and worthy of all our worship.
This self-titled album feels like a full-circle moment. It’s not just an artist expressing her creativity—it’s a worship leader ministering from her scars. Tasha is not polished perfection; it’s beautiful brokenness. It’s not a performance; it’s a prayer. And in its honesty, it gives listeners permission to show up before God exactly as they are.
In a world saturated with superficiality, this album is a breath of Spirit-filled authenticity. Tasha isn’t just heard – it’s felt. And in feeling it, we are drawn a little closer to the heart of God.
