Alabama’s Lisa Knowles-Smith & The Brown Singers New Single “Promises”

For over five decades, the legendary Gospel group The Brown Singers has been a pillar in traditional Gospel music, blending timeless hymns and spirituals with rich influences of soul, blues, and jazz. Today, the group continues that storied legacy with its dynamic lineup: Vanessa Brown Knowles, Lisa Knowles-Smith, Jackienna Richmond, Sierra Ward-Pope, and Rachel Anderson. Together, they bring a fresh, contemporary energy to classic Gospel quartet music while preserving the family’s deep-rooted vocal tradition and elegant style.
That evolution has culminated in a 4-time Stellar Award-winning journey for Lisa Knowles-Smith and The Brown Singers—recognized as one of the leading Gospel quartet groups of this generation.
Earlier this year, the group recorded their highly anticipated new album, LIVE IN DALLAS, capturing the spirit and power of their live performance. From that session comes their latest single, "Promises", a soul-stirring declaration of God’s unwavering faithfulness.
“'Promises' expresses the sentiments of our hearts,” shares Lisa Knowles-Smith. “It’s a powerful reminder that God's promises are steadfast. His word is always Yes and Amen—regardless of our season or circumstance.”
Written by Lisa Knowles-Smith, “Promises” is now available on all major digital music platforms through her independent label, Evoworld Entertainment, INC. Accompanying the single is an official music video, now streaming on the group’s YouTube channel. With its powerful delivery and heartfelt emotion, the video captures the electrifying spirit that fans have come to expect from The Brown Singers.
