Gospel songstress Yolanda Adams recently joined The Big Tigger Morning Show on Atlanta's V-103 to discuss her brand new album, Sunny Days -- featuring the single "Church Doors" -- her current tour, and plenty more.

“The tour is going phenomenally,” Yolanda gushes of her current live dates on The Reunion Tour alongside Fred Hammond, Marvin Sapp, Kirk Franklin, and The Clark Sisters. “First of all -- all of us on tour are so grateful and appreciative that folks still want to hear us,” she adds. “They still want to hear new music from us, or whatever we give them.”

“The beauty is hearing 20 to 40,000 people sing your songs back to you,” Adams explains. “It's like, well, I really can just give the mic to anybody in the audience and let them sing! Because whether folks can sing or not, it's just a joy for them to know the music and then for us to know that it's touched them in such a way, that it's a part of their lives, and folks have testimonies of where they were, what happened when the music helped them… That's why we feel really grateful.”

For those who have listened to her 2024 album Sunny Days and felt a little brighter at the end, Yolanda says that was exactly her intention. “The climate that we're living in right now is so full of vitriol and hatred that we've got to bring the sun back,” she says. “We've got to bring the goodness back. We've got to tap into the goodness of every person because in every person we pray that there's some goodness.”

“That's why the music is very thoughtful, and very inspirational, and encouraging,” Adams adds, “because I don't want to ever have someone think that the climate that we're living in right now is the way that the world will be always. It has to start with us, with the platforms, making sure that people know, ‘Hey, you can change everything about your life when you make a decision to do the right thing and be the right person for the right situation.'”

Also during her visit, Yolanda touches on the co-existence of Gospel and secular music, whether she and Pop artist Muni Long are actually related, how she keeps her beauty in check, and much more.
