Hampton Roads, Virginia — March 25^th, 2022- ‘You Gave Me Hope’ is a culmination of love, loss, and faith that traces the depth of emotion of the musician in novel ways. Ricky Byrum has meticulously crafted a consortium of music that envelops both scripture and sermon as well as life experiences in an extremely interesting way.

These biblical tunes encompass a depth of experience and individuality. The album is being released in digital format to more than 150 digital stores by Tunecore and the new single “Mindful of Me” is currently being heard in over 150 countries.

The album will be followed by a book entitled ‘You Gave Me Hope’ which centers on the personal journey of this eclectic artist. This is an extremely unique story so much so that the book contains six chapters in it, capturing the 5 lyrical masterpieces making the last song New Kingdom as an outro.

The book too contains a complex mix of both scriptures and sermons and the personal life stories of the inspiring artist in a coherent and beautiful way. The project remains exceptionally meaningful to Byrum because it was recorded in the best of times and the worst of times.

The tunes were worked on during the COVID-19 pandemic which created a lot of isolation and tension among everyone. Additionally, the musician’s mother and sister were also hospitalized at one point with another sickness, contributing to the already present stress and anxiety. Byrum’s mother ultimately passed in August 2021, and he was informed of this news while recording the vocals to the song “Love”.

It is the depth of this experience that too can be witnessed in the song that is produced by the artist- the crushing grief of losing a parent as well as the relief of seeing her one last time before she left for a better world.
