Terry Newsome
Soul Music Records proudly presents the anointed, passionate and dynamic man of God, Terry Newsome, with his first national release entitled “Soul’D Out”. His style of music and God’s anointing on his life has touched the hearts of many and compelled the masses to want more. Terry’s unique gift to minister through God’s Word and song reaches young and old alike and crosses generational, cultural, denominational and even genre boundaries.
On “Soul’D Out”, the Hinesville, Georgia-based artist and his coterie of background vocalists and musicians piece together a modern vibe behind lyrics that stress the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus. Terry explains, “This CD was inspired by the sheer determination to stand firm on God’s Word. “Soul’D Out” means that I have made a conscious decision that no matter the situation, I’m going to stand firm on God’s Word that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. There is no other option but to trust God.” Terry’s two previous projects “Soul Music” and “Mo Soul Music” were birth from more personal experiences through life’s trials. “Soul’D Out” encourages everyone that you can make it through struggles or what may come your way and triumph over adversity. Terry describes this album as a “Victory Album”!
