Tye has been making bold declarations and bringing forth change within his music for years with Tye Tribbett & Greater Anointing (“G.A.”), his family and ministry. Together they toured and performed with some of the biggest artists in the secular world including Whitney Houston, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, Luther Vandross, Elton John, Justin Timberlake and Jill Scott to name a few. It was during a consecration period in between their first two albums Life (2004) and Victory Live! (2006), where Tye & G.A. made the decision to focus solely on gospel.
The success of Life was bolstered to the Billboard Top 10 Gospel Album chart with the infectious singles “No Way” and “Everything.” Victory Live! entered the Billboard Top Gospel Album chart at #1, generated the #1 Gospel Radio single, “Victory,” and earned Tribbett two Stellar Award wins and three Grammy nominations — Best Gospel Performance (“Victory”); Best Gospel Song (“Victory”); and Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album. With his third installment Stand Out (2008) entering the Billboard Gospel chart at #1, Tye further propelled the goodness of God with his musical message.
It was within the last year, however, that Tye learned much more about God’s goodness and grace while dealing with the issue of infidelity in his marriage. Tye moved through a dark period that led to thoughts of suicide. It was here when he acknowledged he moved far away from his foundation. Ironically it was sixty day sabbatical from his musical ministry that realigned Tye to focus on his personal ministry with God and his family first. Tye recalls, “I turned away from God and as soon as I turned back around He was ready to receive me, and I learned God does not hold grudges at all.”
On the fiftieth day, Tye received a revelation in Isaiah 43:18-19 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!” The revelation and acceptance opened Tye’s eyes and behold, God set forth the next phase of change. “The Lord restored [my marriage] for the gospels’ sake, not the gossip’s sake.” The process also consisted of transition with Greater Anointing. “There is a season for everything and no matter how great a season is, the next one is always coming. There was nothing wrong with G.A., it was just time for another season,” proclaims Tye. “I had to release everybody to be who they were called to be.” Tye was clear that the Lord restored his marriage to a new position and with obedience and renewed sensibility, his music would also be restored.
With Fresh Tye is clear, the direction of the music and the ministry changed. “It’s opening a door you never opened before and walking through. It’s unfamiliar and new.” While Tye wrote and produced a majority of the album, he also solicited assistance from a small handful of talented individuals along the way for the very first time. “Fresh,” the first single and title track is a personal testimony. The uptempo celebratory dance jam produced by Pablo Vaillatoro of the Group One Crew sets forth a revived form of worship. Sonically, the pulsating rhythm of techno beats serve as the under-current to Tye’s almost auto-tune laden voice as he sings “you can’t even imagine what God has so fresh.” As Tye further proclaims, “it’s a cry out to God for the frustration of the normal, same ‘ole thing, yet celebrating the newness of life.”
Also from the Group One Crew, Manwell Reyes contributed as a writer and producer with the retro “All For You.” Surrendering to the process of being produced versus being the producer, the track excited Tye with its syncopated drum patterns, because it reaches beyond gospel. “I feel like I can go places I have never gone before- beyond the church walls to expand the brand with other inspirational outlets.”
Tye wrote and produced the first song that came during his lowest point in the wilderness, the aptly titled “Good.” The track gives a youthful approach to praise and worship, with its drum pulses and guitar strums as he simply acknowledges, “I love vertical songs and the God we serve is good.” Another personal song to Tye is the old soul, down home bluesy, “Keep Me.” Inspired by his daughter catching two teenagers kissing on television, Tye provided gentle instruction on content for an age-appropriate audience to his young butterfly. Immediately, John 17 entered into Tye’s spirit, acknowledging “Jesus wants us to pray not to be kept out of this world because His power is shown by how he keeps us while we are in the fire. I can’t keep my daughter, but God can.”
Anointed worship musician Israel Houghton contributes to Fresh with “Champion” and “Most High God (Lude).” For Tye the awesome collaboration expresses the sentiment dearest to him, citing “I love songs that brag about how strong and mighty our God is. I can’t wait to perform that song live.” The anthemic “Champion” takes its big piano as “Most High God (Lude)” simplifies is sounds for his vocal praise.
Both “Your Blood (The Communion Song)” and “Take Over” highlight Men of Standard members Isaac Carree and Lowell Pye respectively. “Your Blood” is a big sounding choir song, while “Take Over” is a song of sanctification. While each song amply reflects surrender to God, the humility present and accounted for is in sheer reverence for God’s greatness and grace.
In the uiet stillness within, “You Alone” simply sounds like a prayer. Inspired by Contemporary Christian Music and the total devotion to the fullness of God, Tye acknowledges, “I want to grow my audience to a more mature worship experience and atmosphere.” Adding “the words ask you to listen to my heart and not just the music because this is something you can pray when speaking of the Lord or speaking to Him” as the simplicity of the chords invoke the worship atmosphere. Subsequently “Holding On” sounds like the letter to God after the prayer. “This song stretches me and opens the door with its inspiration. When life gets hard, everybody needs something to hold on to.”
All sixteen tracks on the candid Fresh album are simple, “I want everyone to be refreshed because there is a cleansing that takes place in worship. Whatever I was known for, I’m adding to it with this CD. I want my heart to be heard and then you will understand.” Purposeful in the acknowledgement of his testimony, Tye Tribbett’s self-professed “compassion package” is based on growing through the storms of life with full transparency acknowledging God can change someone. Tye is pursuing an acting career and becoming more involved with organizations that target bouncing back and moving forward. “I have a greater compassion coming out of a storm because this love I experience from God, and for my wife and His people, is so big because He first loved us. Know that a relationship with God is possible.” And that is fresh.
All Things New
Tye Tribbett Lyrics

I am a new being
Nothing remains the same
Starting over again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can you imagine
After all that you've been through
You can't even fathom
'Cause it's looking like the end
But you're just gettin' started
Dusting off the past
Healing from the pain and I'm bringing him the ashes
'Cause nothing's ever wasted, it's true
He makes all things new (woo)
He makes all things new (you say)
He makes all things new (yeah)
He makes all things new (yeah)
So glad He changed my name
I'll never be the same
Since Jesus came my way
It's been a brand new day
I'm never going back
I'm done with the world, you can, you can, you can have that
And everything that comes with it
The stress and the worry, man, go ahead, you can run with it
I'd rather be a door keeper
I'd rather serve the Lord's people
I surrendered all my old ways to you
And you made me new, woo, you say
He makes all things new, hey
He makes all things new, yeah
He makes all things new, hey, woo c'mon
He makes all things new (woo, it don't matter, matter)
He makes all things new (hey, woo, so glad about it)
He makes all things new (doesn't matter what it looks like)
He makes all things new (hey, He gon' make everything right)
He makes all things new
Everything's different now (yeah)
You make the difference now
Living free, no longer bound
He makes all things new
Nothing remains the same
You came and changed the game (yeah)
Living to live again (hey)
He makes all things new
Everything's different now (everything's different now)
You make the difference now (you make the difference now)
Living free, no longer bound (living free, no longer bound)
He makes all things new (hey)
Nothing remains the same (nothing remains the same)
You came and changed the game (you came and changed the game)
I'm living to live again (living to live again)
He makes all things new (woo)
The lyrics of "All Things New" by Tye Tribbett beautifully capture the transformative power of faith and redemption. The song begins with the singer declaring that old things have passed away and they have become a new being. This signifies a symbolic death of the past and a rebirth into a new, refreshed self. The repetition of "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" emphasizes the joy and freedom that comes with starting over again.
The lyrics then delve into the idea of unexpected possibilities and the limitless potential for growth even after enduring hardships. Despite feeling like it's the end, the singer encourages listeners to embrace the idea that they are just getting started on a new chapter of their lives. This message of resilience and optimism shines through as a beacon of hope for those facing challenges.
The imagery of "Dusting off the past, healing from the pain, and bringing Him the ashes" suggests a process of healing and renewal through surrendering to a higher power. The acknowledgment that nothing is ever wasted speaks to the idea of finding value and purpose even in the most difficult experiences. This reflects a belief in the power of transformation and the capacity for new beginnings.
The chorus repeatedly reinforces the theme that "He makes all things new," celebrating the idea that through faith and spiritual transformation, one can be reborn and find a fresh start. The lyrics express gratitude for the change brought about by Jesus, acknowledging the profound impact of this renewal on the singer's life. The song concludes with a sense of liberated freedom and a declaration that everything is different now, embracing the newness and joy that comes from a life transformed by faith.

My Dear, Don't get caught up in Gospel Artists winning idols they call Trophies...the devil is very crafty and will use those devices to corrupt the hearts and minds, of even the Best Praise Leaders we have 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I wish they all Stand Up and Stop accepting those idols...some are shaped like horns, obelisks, and have many idolatry worship meanings behind them...Bitter and Sweet waters cannot flow from the same fountain, so what we have soon becomes an issue that leads to more evil spirits being circulated through the viewers and listeners of the Gospel Music we are listening to...Then that's when the enemy comes in to steal, kill and destroy. Even Tye Tribbett himself talked about the issues of Marriage he had to work, but of course God is showing him what he should avoid..HE THAT HAS AN EAR LET HIM HEAR❤❤
