in gospel music.
“The instant success of this album solidifies Tasha as one of the top gospel artists of the past decade,” says EJ Gaines, VP of Marketing, Motown Gospel. “In
a season where the industry has been concerned about sales and the
impact of streaming, Heart. Passion. Pursuit. proves that when a
remarkable talent has an authentic vision, great songs and a committed
team, magic can still happen.”

having throughout the music industry and, more importantly, on the lives
of consumers around the world.”
