Chicago-based gospel powerhouse Ricky Dillard is no stranger to praise. The five-time GRAMMY nominee is joined by his New Generation Chorale in a rousing performance of "I’m Free," a celebration of life and joy.
The dynamic track is from Dillard’s album Breakthrough: The Exodus, which was released on Motown Gospel in January. Breakthrough features incredible harmonies and a breathtaking range. Each song on the album is accompanied by live recordings and video performances.
Dillard views his previous album, Choirmaster — which was nominated for a GRAMMY for Best Gospel Album in 2021 — as a "part one" of Breakthrough. Together, the two releases act as "Sunday morning" and "Sunday evening" soundtracks.
With his soaring voice and resounding choral backup, Ricky Dillard has been a source of inspiration for over 30 years. As a director, producer and songwriter, Dillard understands that the church choir is the foundation of gospel music. With "I'm Free," Dillard is doing his part to keep the choir front and center.
