Anthony Brown & group therAPy Return with ‘Disclosure’, Turning Transparency into a Powerful Gospel Conversation

Anthony Brown & group therAPy are preparing to release Disclosure, a ten song Gospel album born from an unexpectedly vulnerable place. Following a three year recording hiatus, Anthony Brown turns conversations about difficult seasons, counselling, honesty with God and His unwavering goodness into one of the group’s most personal projects yet.

Anthony Brown is ready to tell the truth

Gospel music has always understood the power of testimony. The songs that stay with us are often not those pretending every season of faith feels victorious, but those willing to acknowledge the distance between knowing what we believe and living through moments when that belief is tested. Anthony Brown & group therAPy’s Disclosure appears ready to enter precisely that space.

After a three year recording hiatus, the Grammy nominated and platinum selling Gospel act will release Disclosure on 18 September 2026 through A Major Entertainment, Tyscot and Fair Trade Services. Preorders opened on 14 August, introducing a ten song collection described as combining urban contemporary grooves with orchestrated ballads. David “Glo” Outing II produced the project alongside Brown as coproducer.

Yet the most interesting part of the announcement is not simply that Anthony Brown & group therAPy are returning with a new album. It is the conversation Brown appears willing to have through it. Disclosure grew from a season in which difficult circumstances forced him towards greater honesty. That journey included a conversation with a counsellor who challenged Brown to approach the process from a position of complete transparency. Brown subsequently connected that advice with his relationship with God, recognising that faith did not require him to pretend the storms affecting him were not real. That realisation became the foundation of the album.

When faith stops pretending

There is an important distinction between faith and pretending everything is fine. Christian culture can sometimes struggle with that distinction. Believers know the language of victory, blessing and breakthrough. Those truths can provide genuine encouragement, but difficult seasons do not disappear simply because somebody knows the right words to say.

Brown’s description of Anthony Brown & group therAPy’s Disclosure offers another possibility. What if faith also looks like telling God the truth? The album’s opening track, Full Disclosure, appears to establish that idea immediately. Brown connects the project with the biblical recognition that life contains different seasons, including times of mourning, silence, rebuilding and celebration. He then takes the concept somewhere deeply personal, acknowledging that some seasons can become heavy enough to leave believers asking where God is.

Rather than treating that question as evidence of spiritual failure, Brown’s experience with counselling appears to have helped him understand transparency as part of the response. His conclusion was that God did not require him to function as though difficult circumstances had left him unaffected. He could bring the reality of those circumstances directly to Him. For Gospel music, that is fertile ground.

‘Always Be Good’ provides the other side of the conversation

The first major introduction to this new era arrived before the album announcement. On 10 July, Anthony Brown & group therAPy released Always Be Good, their first new recording in three years. Written by Brown and coproduced with David Outing, the song emerged from his reflection on God’s goodness during circumstances that did not themselves feel good.

By 14 August, Always Be Good had entered the Top 25 of both the Billboard and Mediabase Gospel Airplay charts. The song provides an important companion to the transparency behind Disclosure. Brown is not presenting honesty as an alternative to faith. He is bringing the two together.

The difficult season can be acknowledged. The questions can be spoken. The emotional impact does not have to be hidden. Yet Brown’s conclusion remains that God’s character does not fluctuate alongside circumstances. That tension gives the project considerably more depth than a simple collection of inspirational songs. Anthony Brown & group therAPy Disclosure appears to ask listeners to hold two ideas together. Life can hurt deeply, and God can still be good.

Ten songs shaped by the conversation

The complete Disclosure tracklist provides further clues about how Brown intends to explore that journey. The album begins with Full Disclosure before moving through Never Losin’, Create One, Promises, Up to Something and Reminders. Always Be Good arrives as track seven, followed by So Good (The Overflow), Still and Victory.

Even without assuming lyrical details that have not yet been released, the sequence suggests movement. Transparency begins the project. Reminders and God’s goodness sit towards its centre. Victory closes it. That makes the sequencing itself intriguing. Rather than opening with triumph and working backwards, Brown appears to begin by acknowledging what happened.

The sound will also bring together different sides of the group’s musical identity. The project has been described as a polished mixture of urban contemporary grooves and richly orchestrated ballads. That combination should provide plenty of room for the vocal arrangements, musicianship and Gospel dynamics that have helped distinguish Anthony Brown & group therAPy throughout their career.

A career already filled with Gospel milestones

Brown’s willingness to become more transparent arrives from an artist who has little left to prove commercially. Anthony Brown & group therAPy emerged nationally with their self titled debut in 2012. Since then, songs including Worth, Trust in You, Blessings on Blessings and Speak Your Name have become significant parts of their catalogue. Their 2015 album Everyday Jesus includes Worth, the song that became one of the group’s defining recordings.

Their achievements include multiple Grammy nominations and an extraordinary Stellar Awards history. In 2017, the group won ten Stellar Awards in a single ceremony, while Worth eventually achieved platinum certification.

Those accomplishments make the direction of Disclosure particularly meaningful. Brown does not need vulnerability as a marketing device to introduce himself. Listeners already know the awards, songs and Gospel credentials. Instead, the album creates an opportunity for an established artist to use that platform to normalise a different kind of strength.

The counselling conversation matters

One detail in the Disclosure story deserves particular attention. Brown openly identifies a conversation with a counsellor as a pivotal moment in understanding what complete transparency required.

Within Christian communities, conversations surrounding counselling and emotional wellbeing have developed significantly, but stigma has not disappeared completely. Gospel artists speaking naturally about receiving support can therefore carry influence beyond the music itself.

Brown does not position counselling as replacing prayer or faith. In his telling, the conversation helped illuminate something about his relationship with God. The counsellor asked for truth so that meaningful help could begin. Brown recognised in that exchange an invitation towards the honesty he believed God had wanted from him all along. That is a valuable message because it removes the false choice between spiritual dependence and acknowledging emotional difficulty.

Sometimes faith sounds like praise. Sometimes it sounds like admitting that the storm hurt. And sometimes those two statements belong in the same song.

Why ‘Disclosure’ could become an important Gospel album

Gospel music has never lacked extraordinary voices. Its deeper strength has always been its ability to turn lived experience into collective testimony. That is where Anthony Brown & group therAPy’s Disclosure could find its most important contribution.

The project arrives with the musical credentials expected from an act with more than a decade of major Gospel releases. There is a rising radio single, experienced production and a tracklist built around ideas familiar to the language of faith. But underneath all of that sits something simpler. Anthony Brown decided to tell the truth.

Not because the truth removed his faith, but because honesty allowed him to encounter God without pretending the difficult season had not affected him. When Disclosure arrives on 18 September, listeners will discover exactly how that conversation has been translated into music. If the album succeeds in creating room for believers to bring both their confidence and their questions before God, its impact could reach considerably further than the Gospel charts.

Sometimes testimony begins after the victory. This time, Anthony Brown appears willing to let us hear what happened before it.
