Written and produced by the Major3rd Productions
team (Gerald Jones, Justin Djuane Francis, and
Carlos Woodard), alongside James Wright of
SENSERE , the song brings a unique blend of genres
that features ingredients of neo soul, funk, and
traditional gospel. A guitar driven, toe-tapping
number, “If It Had Not Been” glows with the group’s
lush harmonies and lyrics that speak to the
everlasting faithfulness of God. A point made all the
more poignant by its accompanying, energetic lyric
video.

The song comes as one of the many “must hear”
tracks that line THE INDEPENDENT SPIRIT PROJECT
– a collection of gospel’s finest unsung independent
acts. Available summer 2015, the album features
artists from every corner of the country who are not
signed to major labels, but whose amazing talents
stand toe-to-toe with top names in the industry.
Housing a spectrum of sounds from the neo soul-
tinged offerings of SENSERE to touches of EDM,
traditional gospel, contemporary gospel, R&B, pop,
and more, the THE INDEPENDENT SPIRIT PROJECT
soars not only in quality, but also in its diversity.
Said diversity finds itself represented sonically and
also in the varied lineup of artists as the track list
showcases solo male and female acts as well as
groups of diverse ethnic backgrounds.
Even in its diversity this assembly acts as a unified
front to provide a refreshing foretaste of the future
of gospel music – the clear intent of the album’s
architect Gerald Jones. A gospel force best known
as founder and CEO of DaGospelTruth dot com, Jones
is also an up-and-coming songwriter, producer,
and rising music executive who believes the time
for a project of this caliber is long overdue.
“The gospel music industry is slowly changing and
making its way from the typical sounds to new
voices and new faces.” – Gerald Jones
And, with THE INDEPENDENT SPIRIT PROJECT , it’s
clear that Jones and this compilation of artists are
ready to accelerate the steering of the industry in
that direction. For more information on THE
