VaShawn Mitchell Releases New Summer Single, “Work Together”!

Seven time Stellar Award-winning gospel icon, VaShawn Mitchell has just released the second single from his upcoming album, entitled, “Work Together”. This follows the first single “See the Goodness” featuring Donnie McClurkin that is currently growing on Billboard. Inspired by the famous scripture Romans 8:28, the song is an up-tempo groove that reminds listeners that “all things work together work together for my good.”

In his own words, Mitchell says, “This song is an important part of this project, Chapter X, because it is meant to encourage, inspire, and uplift the listener. After going through seasons of turmoil and the unknown over the past few years, it’s important to remember that regardless of what it looks like, all things work together for them that love The Lord!” He continues, “…and not only does it work together, the hook of the song says it’s working right now!”

“Work Together” is now available to be streamed on all digital streaming platforms.
