From the GMB Podcast Archives (2025)
In this archived episode of The Buzz, we had the honor of sitting down with GRAMMY Award–winning choir director, producer, and gospel music icon Donald Lawrence to discuss his groundbreaking project Global Love Alive (London).
Recorded with a 300-member, multi-ethnic choir and rooted in the enduring legacy of Edwin Hawkins, the project reflects Lawrence’s commitment to unity, excellence, and global worship. Donald also shares insight into the inspiration behind his single Words featuring Blanche, the evolution of gospel music, and what he believes the future holds for choir-based worship.
The conversation also touches on his perspective on emerging talent—including reflections on The Brown Four from American Idol—and what today’s aspiring artists should truly focus on in their journey.
