27 Aug Brian Courtney Wilson: Minister Of Music

Gospel gave birth to soul and with his debut album Just Love, Brian Courtney Wilson (a protégé of Mathew Knowles) proves why the genre has always remained relevant. "The Bible says love covers a multitude of sins and that’s what I wanted to sing about on the album," he says. "Not just the fruit of [loving] but also struggling with that." Read on as the Chicago native talks to SoulCulture about the merits of love: with God, one’s self and each other.
SoulCulture: Why did you call the album Just Love?
Brian Courtney Wilson: Because people decided to just love me, despite my flaws and faults. They gave me the opportunity to follow the dream that God has given for my life. It’s the reason why I can keep going instead of worrying.
