Lemonade Stand, gather around. We’ve got a gospel great at the stand.
Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, actor, professor, and self-proclaimed nerd Jonathan McReynolds pulled up ahead of the release of his latest album Closer out March 27th. In this conversation, we go track by track, breaking down the heart, intention, and evolution behind the music.
From ancestral prayers to his connection to Ghanaian citizenship, nothing was off limits. We also get into the fresh, unexpected sounds I noticed throughout the album. I also find out where Jonathan is creatively right now.
And yes, he spilled a little lemonade… including the news that he’s now based in the DMV. Plus, we had to ask: who’s on his wishlist when it comes to collaborating in secular music? You’ll have to watch the full interview to catch that moment.
Tap in, sip slowly, and don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more conversations at the stand. Grab a cup, throw it back, and sip on all of that.
