VerseOne Distribution is preparing to release Philadelphia native Aaron Thomas' return to Gospel after a 10-year hiatus from the genre. The American Idol alumnus aims to be the first LGBTQ black male artist to chart #1 in Gospel with his upcoming new album "God Doors." "God Doors" is available for pre-order and pre-save, with the full album available on Friday, Oct. 14, 2022.

Two singles from the album, "God Will Come Through" and "Blessin," are available to listen to on all streaming platforms. "Blessin," the newest instant grat track, starts with "when the praises go up, the blessings come down." The phrase sets up the song's theme: that God has and always will come through.

"People don't realize it, but my spiritual connection to God is a large part of who I am. I owe my current success to Him," says Thomas.

"God Doors" is Thomas' reminder to his listeners that God is always listening and will come through because He always wants the best for His children. The album manifested as a prayer to God when Thomas found himself at rock bottom. Experiencing homelessness after a devastating breakup, Thomas was determined to continue doing what God gave to him. His newfound strength freed him from negative public opinion. 

"I genuinely believe people desire a closer relationship with God but may not see a place for them in traditional settings. 'God Doors' is a divinely inspired message to people who may feel excluded or unworthy," says Thomas. The album contains diverse tracks that appeal to both contemporary Christian and Gospel listeners.

Although Thomas found success with his last R&B album "Mine Games," topping iTunes and Billboard charts, Thomas knew it was his time to return to Gospel.  

"The connection [with God] motivates me even in my most challenging moments. Whether I am singing R&B or gospel, God orders my steps."
