Chicago, IL – In the heart of Chicago, where the legacy of Gospel and Soul music pioneers thrives, Calvin Bridges, is a beacon of inspiration in the realm of Christian/Gospel music. Influenced by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, and Albertina Walker, Bridges has carved his path in the music industry, blending the essence of traditional Gospel with the soulful rhythms of R&B and Contemporary jazz. His latest single, "NO WEAPON," resonates deeply with listeners, drawing inspiration from the timeless words of Isaiah 54:17. Bridges weaves together the biblical truth by delivering a message of hope. Reflecting on the creative process behind "NO WEAPON," Bridges shares, "Most of the text is a direct quote from Isaiah 54:17. For the music, I drew from my love for R&B and Contemporary jazz, infusing it with old school Gospel vocal power." This fusion of genres creates a dynamic listening experience that uplifts the spirit and ignites the soul.
One of the significant breakthrough moments for Bridges was composing for choirs, a process that holds a special place in his heart. "When the singers and musicians eagerly embody the vision, we experience creative utopia," he enthuses. Through this single, Bridges aims to convey a timely message of faith in the face of adversity. "In a world where violence and division seem to prevail, 'NO WEAPON' serves as a Kingdom statement and battle cry," he explains. "It's a reminder that no matter the challenges we face, we are empowered to overcome through faith and unity." The recording of "NO WEAPON" took place live at the historic Malcolm X College Auditorium in Chicago, where Bridges assembled a diverse ensemble of singers and musicians from the USA and Europe. With special guests from Stockholm, Sweden, the International Gospel Music Conference Mass Choir brought together a fusion of talent and passion that echoed through the halls of the auditorium.
