LOS ANGELES (July 7, 2023)— Fresh off the heels of his Spring 2023 Joy In The Morning Tour, 10-time GRAMMY® Award nominee Tauren Wells has dropped a brand new version of his captivating single “Joy In The Morning” with Lecrae and DOE, via Capitol/CCMG. Listen HERE.
“I’m grateful to have Lecrae, an icon of faith and substance and DOE with an unparalleled talent and anointing on this new version,” says Wells. “This song has impacted so many people and I’m honored to have them come alongside the message of this song and expand the reach of the promise it carries.”
Originally released as the title track of his 2022 album, “Joy In The Morning” has resonated with listeners around the world, garnering more than 46 million total streams and peaking in the Top 10 on the Billboard Christian Airplay Chart. Wells released a soulful, extended version with Elevation Worship as a part of his multi-track single “J.I.T.M.,” earlier this year.
Joy In The Morning is Wells’ third solo album and first for Capitol Records/CCMG. He celebrated its release with an appearance at the GRAMMY Museum L.A. Live. Visits to “Fox & Friends” and “Good Morning America” followed. Wells returned to “Good Morning America” in November 2022 to perform “Up.” He spoke with Billboard about the making of the album in this feature.
Wells most recently concluded his 40-city Joy In The Morning Tour, which hit cities across the Southeast, Eastern Seaboard, New England, Midwest, Southwest and West Coast.
