Los Angeles — Known as the Balladeer of Gospel, soulful singer, songwriter Desmond Pringle prepares for a new CD release “Fidelity“, which marks the fourth in his phenomenal career. Prefacing the new release is Pringle’s debut single off the project. “Hope Is Born” is a timely message of victory and personal empowerment. The world is experiencing an unprecedented time of change – financial stability is challenged, natural disasters have displaced families worldwide and our nation has embarked on the most historic presidential election of our time. In the midst of these sometimes challenging moments in our lives, there is a source of continual hope. Desmond Pringle penned “Hope Is Born” to be a sustaining and uplifting anthem of abundant possibility and personal responsibility!

“We’ve already won. We the people on an individual basis have been given a personal allotment of precisely what’s necessary to not only survive but thrive,” says Pringle. “One’s reality will be impacted by one’s embrace of personal responsibility or the lack thereof. ‘Hope Is Born’ is a message of relevance regardless of race, creed, color or political affiliation. Whoever you are, wherever you’re from, you are not out of reach of the arms of hope to carry you directly to where you need to be.”

Hope is color blind And it transcends party lines The ceiling has been shattered All of the pieces, yes they have been scattered

According to Desmond Pringle his new project, “Fidelity“, is a reflection of God’s faithfulness in every aspect of our life. “My desire is for people to come away from listening to this project being totally doused in hope and possibility,” Pringle explains. “Faith substantiates our hopes and brings into reality what we do not see. It is when we fully embrace this truth that hope is born.”

Working on this new project, being a minister and an executive would seem to be more than the average could handle without strategic focus. Desmond Pringle says that experiencing these layers in his career has helped him become fully engaged in this process with confidence and a sense of personal responsibility. “It has caused me to perceive and understand the Kingdom principle of “Dominion” from a practical application perspective,” Pringle states. “With the accelerated evolution of the music industry growing exponentially on a daily basis, it’s imperative that those who minister in the genre broker the power and keep the gates themselves. That’s the order of God!”

Desmond Pringle has been blessed to be a part of Gospel music for over 10 years. His journey into professional music began in the lead role of the hit gospel musical “A Good Man Is Hard To Find”. His portrayal received an NAACP Image Award nomination. The native South Carolinian then relocated to Chicago to further develop his musical prowess. His work as a singer/songwriter gained him contributions to award-winning artists including Yolanda Adams, Bishop T. D. Jakes, Shirley Caesar, CeCe Winans and Bishop Paul S. Morton. Add to that, stellar performances at the Stockholm Gospel Festival and the award as the Best Male Vocalist by the African American Religious Connection. In 1998 his independent release “Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs” grabbed the attention of Chicago radio stations and led to a record deal with Tommy Boy Gospel and his highly acclaimed release Loyalty. Desmond Pringle also served as VP of Urban / Gospel for Warner Bros. Records. Now, Desmond Pringle, Dove Award nominated songwriter, ordained minister and psalmist faithfully travels throughout the country administering workshops, ministering the Word and sharing his heart. After months of preparing and recording, Desmond Pringle is energized and ready for this long awaited CD – Fidelity, available spring 2009.

Nashville, TN – Desmond Pringle, talented songwriter, producer and the balladeer of gospel, returns to Chicago to celebrate 10 years in Gospel music with an evening of elegance, excellence and perfected praise and worship. In partnership with The Gospel Music Channel, “An Evening With Desmond Pringle and the Desmond Pringle Orchestra” will be taped at Cornerstone Christian Center on November 24, 2007 at 6:00 PM in Chicago, IL. “I am returning to Chicago because I made my debut as a solo artist and founded my own production company while in Chicago,” Desmond Pringle states. “This concert celebrates all that has transpired since that humble beginning.”

Desmond Pringle’s journey into professional music began in the lead role of the hit gospel musical “A Good Man Is Hard To Find”. His portrayal received an NAACP Image Award nomination. The native South Carolinian then relocated to Chicago to further develop his musical prowess. His work as a singer/songwriter gained him contributions to award-winning artists including Yolanda Adams, Bishop T. D. Jakes, R. Kelly and The Thompson Community Singers. Add to that, stellar performances at the Stockholm Gospel Festival and the award as the Best Male Vocalist by the African American Religious Connection. In 1998 his independent release “Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs” grabbed the attention of Chicago radio stations and led to a record deal with Tommy Boy Gospel and his highly acclaimed release Loyalty. Now, after serving as VP of Urban / Gospel for Warner Bros. Records, the ordained minister and psalmist faithfully travels the country promoting his current release Be Still, administering workshops, ministering the Word and sharing his heart.

“An Evening with Desmond Pringle and the Desmond Pringle Orchestra” is co-sponsored by The Triune Group, LLC, Discovering the Word and Magnum Opus Entertainment. Desmond Pringle will be rendering songs from his current project “Be Still” along with new music and a few surprises.

The 18 piece Desmond Pringle Orchestra is a handpicked aggregation of Chicago’s finest musicians. “One of the first things that happened to me and for me musically when I landed in Chicago in ’92 was that my very dear friend Sue Conway, one of Chicago’s premiere jazz singers, exposed me to the rich orchestra culture there,” says Desmond Pringle. “So, I was hired to do many high profile, ritzy functions dreaming of the day that I could have my own.” The Desmond Pringle Orchestra, a vision and mixing of faith with works, will come to pass on November 24th. Desmond Pringle gives credit to the Psalmist David who drafted the template in Psalms 150.

Adding to the majesty of the evening and rendering choral support will be a special appearance by the St. Ailbe’s Children’s Choir. Desmond Pringle and all who will come together for the evening unite musically and in divine purpose. Pringle decrees, “My goal is simply to capture the evening. Anything beyond is to be determined.”
