Gospel artist Earnest Pugh is announcing the release of his tenth career album, The UnSung Hits Vol. 1, releasing on Sept. 7 on EPM Music Group. The new album is a collection of previously un-promoted recordings that were created over the course of the powerhouse vocalist’s two-decades-long career.

The UnSung Hits contains ten tracks that not only highlights Pugh’s remarkable voice, but also the sincere and heartfelt lyrics that have been inspiring his audiences. The project also features duets with some of gospel music’s leading and legendary voices, including Bishop Rance Allen, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, D’Atra Hicks and Michelle Prather.
