Multiple GRAMMY®-nominated choir director Ricky Dillard makes his Motown Gospel debut with the aptly titled album, Choirmaster. The album will release on May 1.

Choirmaster features "Release", the faith-filled anthem declaring change and breakthrough in the lives of its listeners. Teaming up with acclaimed vocalist Tiff Joy (also featured on Dillard's 2015 chart-topping choir hit, "Amazing"), the dynamic artist delivers a rousing new single that promises to be one of the biggest choir songs of the year.

As part of a special moment, Ricky Dillard also remakes "More Abundantly," the first hit single released by Dillard and his choir, New G, nearly 30 years ago. The classic is reworked by the quintessential showman in a way that only he can.

Heralded in 2019 in both TIME and Rolling Stone magazines, two-time GRAMMY-nominee Ricky Dillard is considered a pioneer of the contemporary choir sound and style. With musical beginnings in both the African-American church and the Chicago "house music" scene, Ricky Dillard is revered as "The Choirmaster," known for his captivating choir direction, staggering vocal delivery and electrifying stage presentation.
