The Family returns with a new project, TOGETHER FOREVER
Blacksmoke Music WorldwideDallas, TX – In the early ’90s, Kirk Franklin and The Family reshaped gospel music. Their unmatched sound created what we now know as Urban Contemporary Gospel. With hits like Why We Sing, Melodies from Heaven, and Now Behold the Lamb, they became a global force, selling millions and winning GRAMMY®, Stellar, Dove, and NAACP Image Awards.
Now, nearly 30 years later, The Family has returned. The original twelve members are stepping back into gospel with renewed passion, fresh testimonies, and a message of healing and purpose.
From there, their comeback begins with “Jesus,” the powerful single featured on the Love Mountain soundtrack. The track sets the tone for their reunion project, TOGETHER FOREVER, releasing October 3, 2025. Fans can already pre-order or pre-save the EP on Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer.
Together Forever: The Family Launches Reunion Project
Fueling this comeback is the partnership of producer Ernest J. Lee (David’s Dance Music) and music mogul Kerry Douglas (Blacksmoke Music Worldwide). Together, they’re bringing back the group’s iconic sound for both longtime fans and a new generation.
Oh, and The Family has already hit the stage again, delivering a showstopping performance at the 40th Annual Stellar Awards Pre-Show. Up next, they’ll be honored with the Avidity Lifetime Achievement Award at the 10th Annual Avidity Awards in Dallas on November 1.
But the true celebration is set for October 12, where fans are invited to A Night With The Family—the official album release concert. The celebration will be at New Breed Christian Center in Fort Worth, hosted by Carmina Barnett and Aldren McCullar.

About Randi Myles:
I am a child of God that has a lot to say.
Here you will find conversations with artists, authors, speakers, and teachers within the faith-based community. Also, my journey has been colorful, rich, and sometimes really hard so, I look for answers and respite through these posts. My mom wanted me to write a book and I'm working on that, so bear with me as I fumble my way through.
I am working on balancing my extremely fun work life with my personal life that is filled with challenges these days. I know that God will see me to victory so... welcome to my life.
