Tamela Mann leads with love.
Whether she’s designing her clothing line to help curvy women feel cute and comfortable, appearing in blockbuster films, co-authoring a book with her husband of 36 years, or hosting a cooking show where she prepares meals for her family, Tamela Mann shows time and again that she knows how to work hard, and she knows how to love even harder.
“I think that’s what’s keeping me alive, the love. God keeps putting people around me to love.”
LIVE BREATHE FIGHT
The GRAMMY Award-winning gospel singer shares how it was love of her husband, her family, and her Lord and Savior who gave her strength through troubled times in her highly anticipated new album, LIVE BREATHE FIGHT.
“‘Live’ is living like heaven is my destiny. ‘Breathe’ every breath with purpose, and we’re fighting until we get the victory.” Mann tells Elev8 about the inspiration for the album’s title and composition. “I put my whole being into this album, meaning I worked on every single area of this project. I’m so glad that the Lord gave me the strength mentally and physically to work through the things I was going through.”

LIVE BREATHE FIGHT is Mann’s sixth studio album and most her personal album to date, inspired by a season of trials and tribulations within her own family that led her to lean on the Lord for guidance and strength. She sings about waiting on the promises of God in her latest single, the country music inspired “Working For Me,” which earned Mann a record-breaking eleventh no. 1 single on the Billboard Gospel Airplay chart.
“God is my go to, whenever everything else seems like it’s failing, I can go to God,” Mann says. “It helped me to know even though I’m hurting, I still want to love you, Lord, forever.”
“Working For Me” along with Mann’s second single, “Hand On Me,” will be among the tracks on LIVE BREATHE FIGHT which features collaborations with Kirk Franklin, Wyclef Jean, and more. Listeners can anticipate more songs with the powerful vocals and moving harmonies we’ve come to expect from Mann, but this time with added flair and musical variety, plus Mann’s powerful personal testimony.
“LIVE BREATHE FIGHT is a true testimony to what I have dealt with for the last year and a half. I’m walking through it, I’m believing through it, and I’m really living my best life. I’m living the best of life.”
LIVE BREATHE FIGHT will be available on October 11.
