Teddy Cross Declares 'God Got This Thing' With Powerful Single Featuring Quartet Legend Doug Williams

(MS) - After more than four decades of using his powerful voice to proclaim the Gospel through traditional quartet music, acclaimed Gospel artist, singer, songwriter, producer, and Pastor Teddy Cross returns with a timely new single, "God Got This Thing." The faith-filled anthem is already gaining momentum at Gospel radio and delivers a simple but powerful reminder for anyone facing uncertainty: God is still in control.

"God Got This Thing" is rooted in the heart, soul, and rich vocal harmonies of traditional Gospel quartet music. With its encouraging lyrics and unmistakable message of faith, the song urges listeners to stop worrying about what they cannot control, trust God's plan, and believe that He is working even when circumstances suggest otherwise.

Featuring legendary Gospel vocalist Doug Williams of The Williams Brothers, the single brings together two respected voices from the quartet tradition for a compelling musical declaration of hope.

For Cross, the song is more than a new release-it is a continuation of his lifelong ministry through music.

Cross launched his professional music career in 1980 as a guitarist and background vocalist with the legendary Willie Neal Johnson & the Gospel Keynotes. Over the years, he became recognized for his commanding vocal presence and signature performances on Gospel classics including "With God I'm Satisfied," "One More Time," and "Don't Wait For The Hearse." His career has helped establish him as one of the enduring voices of traditional Gospel quartet music.

Cross continues that legacy while serving as pastor of Mt. Nebo Missionary Baptist Church in Raleigh, Mississippi, where he remains committed to sharing the Word of God and pointing people to Christ through preaching, ministry, and music.

With "God Got This Thing," Cross delivers a message perfectly suited for the times-one that encourages listeners to release their worries, strengthen their faith, and remember that God has the situation under control.

"God Got This Thing" featuring Doug Williams is available on all major digital music platforms.

(New York, NY) - Renown actor, singer, songwriter, producer Keith D. Robinson released the music video to his latest single "Up." "UP" is the latest track to be released from his sophomore album, "Love Episodic 2: The Algo-Rhythm."

An R&B heartthrob, Keith D. Robinson's return to his first love, music, is much anticipated. In the past year, Keith has released various singles in anticipation of the album release including "Forever Bae", "Foolish Luv" and his latest, the SiriusXM chart-topping, "Different Languages." Keith's latest offering is the sexy mid-tempo tune, "UP" inspired by the euphoric and undeniable feeling of anticipation that comes with the early stages of new love, the butterfly effect. "UP" was written by Keith D. Robinson and produced by Jason Edmonds, Tracy Carter and Keith D. Robinson.

Keith D.'s character in the video is a parallel of his own day in real life as an actor and singer. But today the power of his new love has propelled him to supernatural feats in route to a night out with the new love of his life. The futuristic music video was directed by famed-director, Derek Blanks. "Love Episodic 2: The Algo-Rhythm" includes production from Jason Edmonds, Tracy Carter, Benny Franks and Niphkey among others.

This August, Keith D. Robinson kicks off his "Love Episodic City Winery Tour," with the first date taking place on August 21, 2026 in Atlanta, GA.

The first offering from the album was the now classic, "Forever Bae" and is more than just a song - it's a visual love letter, inspired by the fictional yet fan-beloved relationship between Ted and Nicole, the star-crossed lovers from the 15-time Daytime Emmys nominated hit CBS soap opera "Beyond The Gates." Channeling that deep-rooted romance, telling the story of two souls navigating life's twists and turns, only to discover that true love never fades - it only deepens.

One of the many highlights from the album includes, his most recent release, "Different Languages," inspired by the notion that real love and connection between two people is not defined by the good times but instead by the hard ones. This song is an ode to the burning desire between lovers who yearn to be understood and heard by one another far beyond words, but more by their intention and vibration.

A soon to be fan favorite is the beautifully written, "Heavy Heart," the song embodies the sentiment of giving someone their flowers or saying what you need to say before it's too late because tomorrow is not promised. To never let the sun go down on your anger . . .produced by the production team Kingpin Radio Benny Franks, Terrence Harris, and Chris Powell.
