Ellen Hayes knows Gospel music. A four-time Rhythm of Gospel Award Nominee, Hayes has been singing God’s praises since she was in her 20s. Surrounded by great artists in her native Detroit, Ellen honed her musical talents on the piano in addition to voice. Over the years, she’s become a noted choir director and church musician. A gifted and prolific songwriter as well, her song, “O King,” caught the attention of GMWA and was recorded by the Gospel Music Workshop of America during their 50th Anniversary Convention.
The former member of True Inspiration, a dynamic singing ensemble, launched out as a solo artist in 2012 with the CD, Step Into Your Blessing. Now a decade later, she returns with a powerful new single from her forthcoming 10-song project entitled We Owe It All To You. The single, “We Owe It All To You,” a gratitude-laden track, is available now on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon and other digital outlets.
“We Owe It All To You,” was written after Ellen underwent a season of heartbreaking experiences. Ultimately, she emerged victorious. It was after those trials that she realized she owed it all to God. “I knew that it was God who brought me through,” the psalmist explains. “During that season, the Lord dropped the song in my spirit. Initially, it was titled ‘I Owe It All To You,’ but in 2020, once I contracted the Coronavirus and saw friends, family members and church members pass away from COVID, I had a different take on the song. After the Lord brought me through, I said, ‘I’m not going to be selfish; it’s not ‘I owe it all,’ it’s ‘we owe it all.’”
Both her single, “We Owe It All To You”, and the project, We Owe It All To You, will be available on all major digital outlets.
