Kinard Cherry Releases Transformative Gospel Single, "Open Our Eyes" Featuring Jeremiah Hicks & Linda Charles
Guitarist and producer Kinard Cherry proudly announces the release of his debut gospel single, "Open Our Eyes." Featuring the soulful vocals of Jeremiah Hicks and rich harmonies by Linda Charles, this dynamic track delivers a powerful message of faith and renewal, blending traditional gospel roots with a contemporary sound.
A fresh reimagining of The Gospel Clef's 1959 classic—originally written by Leon Lumpkins—this version honors its legacy while introducing a modern musical perspective. The project, executive-produced by Wheeler Winstead Jr., was brought to Kinard’s attention through Winstead’s deep appreciation for gospel’s timeless influence.
"This song is a simple prayer that the world needs right now to navigate the fast-changing landscape of our time. The journey within for a deeper connection to our creator is vital," says Kinard Cherry.
Backed by a stellar lineup of musicians, including Traves McGhee (drums), Steve McCoy (organ), and Kinard himself on lead guitar, acoustic guitar, and bass, "Open Our Eyes" showcases exceptional artistry and heartfelt spirituality. Recorded at Dreams Domain Studio, the track is now available on all major streaming platforms.
