Jason Mighty - Contributed
Gospel artiste Jason Mighty has received additional support from VP records, which has signed his album 'Cornerstone' for physical distribution and exclusive digital distribution.
Mighty says this is a good opportunity as it means that his album will be accessible through iTunes, rhapsody and amazon.com. He says VP was pleased with the product because of its quality and the fact that the 17-track album began with the Jamaica National Anthem.
"One of the things that I was worrying about at my album launch is that people won't have access to it. Now I can just send them to VP. I know the product will sell and they will be able to get it," said Mighty, who launched his album three weeks ago.
He added, "It's good for me 'cause throughout my life I've been toiling and this is my first album so I feel really pleased for what God has done for me."
He says most people like the variation on the album as it is a mix of different genres. The album also features other top gospel artistes like his brother Prodigal Son, DJ Nicholas, Goddy Goddy and Promise, who is a rapper signed by Kanye West.
Mighty says songs on the album like Can't Walk This Life Alone, One Soul, Wanna Know and Da Vinci Code are all doing well in Barbados where they hold high ranks on secular charts.
Due to the huge response he is receiving in Barbados, he will be launching his album there when he headlines alongside Israel and the New Breed at Barbados Gospel Fest in two weeks. He will also have another album launch in Montego Bay on May 20, where he says it has been requested.
