Philadelphia native Eshon Burgundy has revealed that he will drop his highly anticipated third album, ‘The Passover,’ on May 27, 2016.
Burgundy explains the theme of his forthcoming project in the statement below.
“[The theme] is loosely inspired by ‘The Passover’ of Exodus,” Eshon Burgundy said.
“The story is a powerful one about God delivering His chosen people, held captive by Pharaoh in Egypt, out of bondage. As they obeyed His commands, they were spared – passed over unharmed by the death angel when it arrived as the finale of God’s 10 plagues. This account in the Bible is about liberation and as a man once confined to the four walls of a public housing community, I share the experience of an oppressed people.”
“Growing up, my community, Passyunk Homes, wasn’t designed as an outlet – it was more like a dead-end. Living in makeshift houses made of cinder blocks and tar, I saw a world filled with drug dealers, drug addicts and crime. A few of my friends were killed – I was almost killed, but the Lord spared and delivered me. I’m grateful – that by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal death angel has passed over my soul – this album is an expression of that.”
Fans of Eshon can expect to hear an energized and renewed version of him on ‘The Passover.’ In 2015, he released his billboard-charting project titled ‘The Fear of God,’ which features John Givez, JGivens, and Shai Linne, among others.
