Pastor Stephen Brown Collaborates with Bart Orr II on Upcoming Gospel Single “By Friday”
New single delivers a timely message of faith, hope, and divine expectation — releasing this summer.
Pastor, recording artist, and faith leader Stephen Brown is set to release his highly anticipated new single, “By Friday,” a powerful gospel anthem that weaves together soul-stirring lyrics, rich vocal delivery, and timeless production. Scheduled to drop this summer, the song marks Pastor Brown’s return to the music scene with a message of hope that resonates in today’s world.
The song originated during one of Pastor Brown’s dynamic crusade services. Though it began with just a hook, he sensed there was more God wanted to say through the music. He reached out to acclaimed gospel vocalist and songwriter MarQuez Curtis, who not only co-wrote the single but also lends his voice to the track, joining Pastor Brown in a compelling collaboration.
To bring the song to life sonically, Pastor Brown enlisted award-winning and Billboard-charting producer Bart Orr II, known for his signature blend of classic gospel soul and modern inspiration. Orr’s masterful production elevated “By Friday” into an emotionally rich and spiritually charged offering that aligns perfectly with Pastor Brown’s mission to create music that lifts the heart and stirs the soul.
“It doesn’t take God long to do what He’s going to do. Whatever you need from God — it can happen by Friday,” shares Pastor Brown. The single speaks to divine timing and unwavering faith, echoing a promise that breakthroughs, healing, and miracles are not far off.
“By Friday” will be Pastor Brown’s third official single, following the success of Fresh Oil (2014) and Blessed Man (2018). With this release, he signals the start of a new chapter in both music and ministry, with more collaborations and a full-length album currently in the works.
