GOSPEL singer Jason Mighty is putting the finishing touches to his second album, Temple of Praise, which is due for release in October.

The album was inspired by the “many personal and life changes” Mighty has been through since the release of his first album, Cornerstone.

MIGHTY… inspired by the “many personal and life changes”

“Fatherhood and nearly losing my wife during childbirth really put me into a situation where I had to reset my priorities in life,” he said.

Peace In The Storm, a track from the album, came to him during the anxious moments when he thought his wife was going to die.

“I truly thought that I was going to lose my wife. She was critically ill for several months after giving birth and it was only prayers that brought her and my family through,” said Mighty.

Other completed tracks are My God Is Good, Oh! and Praise I Do which had its world premiere on Black Entertainment Television (BET).

Mighty said his mission transcends recording gospel songs. He wants to be a positive role model for young people including his two children.

Originally from Linstead, St Catherine, Mighty said he grew up listening to hymns his mother played. In 2000, he accepted the call of God to “preach hope and salvation through my music.”
