Love Never Fails is Stampley’s sixth album and his debut on Motown Gospel. The project spotlights the passionate vocal delivery and compelling songwriting that have made him one of the gospel community’s most acclaimed young artists. Stampley and his wife Heidi co-wrote six of the eleven tunes on the album including the exhilarating and emotionally charged worship song “We Will Praise You.”[1] Stampley’s music has long had a global flavor and that approach continues on Love Never Fails. “He Loves Me” is an infectious reggae tune that features vocals from the talented Jamaican songstress Chevelle Franklyn, and “Oh Give Thanks” will remind listeners of the sheer joy that comes from God in song.[2] This album produced the Top-10 radio hit “Our God.” [3]
