Tasha Cobbs Leonard out with “Gotta Believe”, her first song of the year
Multiple award-winning American gospel singer Tasha Cobbs Leonards has released her very first song of the year 2021 “Gotta Believe”.
The song considered as an anthem is about searching for strength in times of hesitance and uncertainty. “Gotta Believe” is a truly personal song for Leonard, written during a period in which she and her husband were confronted with several momentous life decisions. Rather than being paralyzed by doubt, Leonard was able to find strength and a path forward through her faith in God.
Tasha Cobbs Leonard originally recorded “Gotta Believe” as part of NPR Morning Edition’s Song Project, a series she launched during lockdown to provide an outlet for artists to write and perform an original song as a way to reflect the times.
In an interview about the song’s origins, Tasha opens up about some of her personal struggles, including losing family and friends to the COVID pandemic.
