Nashville, Tenn. (May 29, 2026) — GRAMMY® winner and new Curb Records artist Lloyd Nicks delivers another open-hearted, transparent original with “We Won’t,” out today (5/29) — listen HERE. In addition to sharing the freshly minted recording, Nicks’ “A Little More,” which bowed in April, officially impacts Christian radio June 8.

Confessing his inability to believe he’s worthy of grace, the newcomer relinquishes his expectations in favor of giving God time and space to move on “We Won’t.” The mid-tempo selection showcases Nicks’ buttery vocal as he invites the Church to remove any form of pretense. The song’s bridge gets particularly raw and real, crescendoing into a final refrain of surrender. Nicks wrote the fresh selection with Daniel Bashta and Ben Smith. Meanwhile, Kyle Williams produced the track. Following his emotional debut, “Heal For You,” and its pop-centric successor, “A Little More,” “We Won’t” continues to introduce Nicks’ compelling story.

His latest release strips the filter off the more complex chapters of his personal narrative that include childhood abuse, his father’s longterm incarceration, the loss of his mother on his 26th birthday and even suicidal thoughts. “What I survived could have buried me, but God had a different plan. I’m done hiding the parts of my story that I thought were ‘too much’ for the Church,” Nicks says of the traumatic events that inspired “We Won’t.” “I’m a living witness God can use your brokenness.”

Following buzzworthy performances at South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin and Tin Pan South in Nashville earlier this spring, next up, Nicks will premiere new music for key radio programmers next week at Momentum, the Christian Music Broadcasters’ (CMB) marquee conference held annually in Orlando. He’ll appear at Kingdom Bound in July.

Already a GRAMMY® winner, three-time GMA Dove Award nominee and Billboard Music Award winner, Nicks signed a recording contract with Curb in 2025. His award-winning hit, CeCe Winans’ “That’s My King,” remained at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Gospel Songs chart for an impressive 49 weeks.

About Lloyd Nicks:

Lloyd Nicks is experiencing what some call an overnight success...that’s taken 15 years. Lloyd has been faithful to his calling of bringing people together through his music and message, showing that we have more in common than what sets us apart. With several major successes — winning a 2025 GRAMMY® Award, co-writing a 49-week #1 single on Billboard’s Hot Gospel Songs Chart, co-writing a 2024 Billboard Music Award-winning song — his songs resonate with audiences far and wide. Since beginning his musical journey, Lloyd has become a prolific songwriter and talented artist, crafting songs that reflect the realness of being human — the highs and lows, joys and sorrows. His personal experiences — like grieving the loss of his mother at 26, and starting a family of his own — deeply shape his music, and his diverse community is reflected in his music that sounds like a soundtrack to our lives. Born in East St. Louis and raised in Cahokia, IL, Lloyd had a difficult childhood. With his father in prison for most of his life, he often felt unseen and unheard — until he was about 14. That’s when he began to find his voice, both in sound and in purpose. Inspired by gospel greats like Fred Hammond, Marvin Sapp, and the Winans, he set out to give a voice to the voiceless. Through his Common Ground Initiative, he is now creating opportunities for others striving to learn about the music industry and the journey he took to get where he is now. Lloyd earned his undergraduate degree in Vocal Performance from Greenville University and later obtained a Master’s in Management. His versatile artistry blends gospel, urban, and contemporary music, drawing listeners in with its authenticity and depth. Through his music, Lloyd leans into his perspective as a husband, father, friend, and pastor — all through the lens of someone who loves Jesus. Lloyd has been busy in the studio working on his Curb Records debut album, Paper-Maché, with songs from the album releasing across 2026. Lloyd’s current catalogue of music is available wherever you listen to music. Lloyd proudly calls St. Louis his home, where he lives with his wife, Ashley, and their kids, Zoey and Dillan.
