Award Winning Gospel Music sensation Tasha Cobbs Leonard collaborated with platinum selling superstar CIARA on an inspirational music release of “In Spite of Me“. The track comes just days after the powerhouse singer/songwriter scored a #1 debut on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart with her new album, Royalty: Live at The Ryman, released by Motown Gospel.
This version of the song is a reimagined studio version of the original, “In Spite of Me” featuring Ciara. It is a feel-good song set to smooth soft backing vocals and punctuated by passionate leads. The song’s lyrics celebrate God’s perfect love for imperfect people:
“Every scar, every flaw, You see it all, You see it all / You still love me, love me, in spite of me.”
“Tasha is one of the strongest voices in gospel music and we’ve always been huge fans of hers in our house, In times like these, I am super thrilled to be part of a song filled with messages of hope and inspiration that can be shared with the world. With God’s love and grace, nothing in life is insurmountable. It’s truly a special moment.”
Ciara
Tasha Cobbs Leonard did not hide her excitement about the collaboration, as she shared her joy.
“Ciara is an icon. A role model. A wife, mother, and a lover of God,” she shares. “Her musical versatility is undeniable and I am so glad she joined me on this song to tell people about the unconditional love of God.”
