Lamont Sanders Releases New Inspirational Single 'If I Only Knew’
Lamont Sanders is an inspirational and urban gospel artist from South Jersey, with a new single, “If I Only Knew”. Sanders credits a wide range of influence from the gospel strength of John P. Kee to the timeless artistry of Michael Jackson and the smooth modern stylings of October London and Ne-Yo. His sound reflects that blend of contemporary yet it’s rooted in a soulful inspirational way. With If I Only Knew, Sanders opens a window into some of the most personal corners of his life. The song was born out of real-life moments of reflection—times when he realized too late what he should have valued more deeply. Whether it was missed opportunities, broken relationships, or moments when he failed to see God’s guidance until after the fact, those experiences shaped both the message and the emotional tone of the track.
The writing process wasn’t calculated; Sanders leaned into the vulnerability, letting his honesty shape the lyrics and refusing to sugarcoat the emotion behind the story. That choice became a creative breakthrough. Instead of chasing perfection, he chased truth—and the result is a song that feels less like a performance and more like a confession, a testimony, and a lifeline. The studio experience brought its own share of emotional weight, especially as Sanders revisited painful memories. But once the right melody and tone came into play, the track took on a life of its own. What started as a song became something more. It became a message for anyone who's been on the wrong side of hindsight. Sanders hopes If I Only Knew doesn’t just resonate with those who’ve already faced regret, but reaches people before they get there.
