20 Questions With Tamela Mann: Grammy Winner Discusses ‘Live Breathe Fight,’ Working With Tyler Perry & 30 Years of Gospel Greatness


The award-winning gospel singer, songwriter and actress details her new Live Breathe Fight LP. Read the Billboard interview.

While the genre’s mainstream presence has waned in recent years, Mann’s moving, door-busting voice has helped tracks like “Take Me to the King,” “I Can Only Imagine” and “God Provides” become formidable crossover hits. Earlier this year, “Working for Me,” the lead single from her new Live Breathe Fight album (Oct. 11), helped Mann break a tie with longtime collaborator and friend Kirk Franklin for most chart-toppers on Gospel Airplay. From stage plays and sitcoms to box office-topping films like 2023’s The Color Purple, Tamela Mann’s medium-agnostic talent has allowed her to expertly navigate both the sanctified and secular worlds with her signature grace and passion.
