Album Description: The Release

​

The Release is the debut album from Neo Soul Gospel Spoken Word Artist TY Washington, marking 12 years of freedom since her return home on December 12, 2013. More than music, this project is a movement—a 12-track journey of restoration, resilience, and redemption, crowned with a bonus anthem for overcomers.

​

Each song is a chapter in TY’s testimony, weaving scripture, spoken word, and soul-infused rhythms into a narrative of healing and hope. From “Restored for Purpose” to “Forgiven”, the album builds toward its climactic title track, “The Release”, a declaration of freedom from both physical bars and the spiritual chains of sin.

​

Themes of identity (Holy Swagger), justice (My Voice is My Vote), healing (Unmasking Domestic Violence), and limitless love (Love Without Limits) make this album not only a soundtrack for the soul but also a toolkit for transformation. Every track is paired with a devotional reflection, inviting listeners to engage with scripture, prayer, and creative activation.

​

With 12 songs released over 12 days leading up to the anniversary date of 12/12/25, The Release is more than an album—it’s a testimony, a ministry, and a movement. TY’s voice is both prophetic and poetic, calling listeners to embrace freedom, walk in purpose, and sow into the lives of others.

This is not just music. This is The Release.
