NEW YORK, NY – August 12, 2022 – After nearly 25 years as a Grammy-winning inspirational artist, television star and syndicated radio host, Erica Campbell is still celebrating her career milestones.

His latest offering, “Positive,” which was released in March, currently sits atop Billboard’s Gospel Airplay chart and the Mediabase Gospel Radio chart. “Positive” is the lead single from the highly anticipated full album set for release in Spring 2023 via My Block Inc.
“I’m so excited because I really wanted this song to change people’s moods,” the singer said in a video thanking fans for their support. “I wanted them to talk life about themselves and expect the big and know there is greatness inside of you. And you helped me do that! So thank you for helping me become #1 positive! Erica’s intent for the song is pretty clear in her lyrics, which she wrote alongside Juan Winans and Warryn Campbell (who also produced the song). “Positive” encourages listeners to lean into the assurance that comes from knowing that God is in control, even in uncertain times.
