Available On All Digital Music Outlets January 13
Houston,
Texas – New music from Earnest Pugh is
currently impacting radio. The song, “I Need You to Breathe”, is an opulent
praise and worship ballad that underscores the need to rely on God, especially
during the anxious times of uncertainty in which we live.”
“This song captures me in a conversation with God
where I am expressing my dependence upon Him for the very air I breathe,” says
Pugh. “Sometimes life can hit you so hard until you feel as though the very
breath has been knocked out of you. But that’s the very moment we must cry out
for our ultimate life support machine (GOD), who is willing and able to breathe
upon us again and restore life immediately.”
Written by Ken Hoskins, Lucius B. Hoskins, Shone
Williams and Alfred Singleton (The Singletons), and produced by Lucious Hoskins,
"I Need You to Breathe" is the lead single off of Pugh's forthcoming
CD entitled Fully Persuaded, which
will be released on his P-Man Music Group Label. Pugh has teamed up with
Michael Bereal and Cedric Thompson to produce Fully Persuaded. It will be the singer’s 9th CD.
The single “I Need You to Breathe” will be available
digitally on January 13.
