I had never heard of them until I heard about their new album, and I was really happy I didn’t miss out! Seth & Nirva’s new album, Never Alone, was just released on May 27, and this album is pretty awesome if you ask me!
I want to tell you a little about them first: Nirva is a Chicago native and daughter of Haitian immigrants, and she’s featured as a singer and dancer in tobyMac’s Diverse City band, touring with the iconic artist’s ensemble for more than a decade. Nirva is a graduate of Nashville’s historic Fisk University, she was a member of the renowned Fisk Jubilee Singers and has also been a featured vocalist with such artists as Mandisa, Natalie Grant and Nicole C. Mullen, among many others.
Seth began his career as a singer with multi-platinum urban-gospel recording artist Kirk Franklin, Seth’s vocal talent has also supported the likes of Donnie McClurkin, CeCe Winans and Chris Tomlin, among others. He also served as pastor of young adult ministry at The Crossing Church in Tampa, FL.
Here’s the cool part for me: They met at a Billy Graham Crusade while Seth was singing with Kirk Franklin and Nirva was singing with tobyMac. they later married and are now together as a duo, Seth & Nirva. They have been featured nationally on FOX News, TBN “Praise The Lord” and CBN News. They have also been profiled in exclusive interviews, features and reviews by Worship Leader, ChristianPost.com, CCM Magazine and many more leading outlets. (Why is that cool to me? Because I was saved at a Billy Graham Crusade on June 11, 1994!!!)
Okay, back to Seth & Nirva’s new album – produced by Bryan Fowler (tobyMac, Aaron Shust) and featuring songwriting collaborations with Michael Farren (“Let It Rain”), Mia Fields (“Savior King”), Jacob Sooter, Israel Houghton, tobyMac, Victor Oquendo and BJ Putnam, Seth & Nirva’s faith-empowering Never Alone picks up where their 2013 EP I Need You left off. From the solid R&B groove of “Pour It Out” to the modern pop anthem of “Unconditional,” to the ballads and calls to worship on the album, the new recording explores the veteran vocalists’ unique styles and diversity carving out a distinctive blend all their own.
I loved every single song on this album and I look forward to getting to know these artists better. You bet I’ll be following them as their careers explode! Which song is my favorite? Easy answer – the very first song – You Are in Control hands down! Take a listen:
