Tasha Cobbs Leonard Premieres “Church” Music Video Feat. John Legend
Fresh off the release of her deeply personal and genre-blending studio album TASHA, GRAMMY Award-winning gospel powerhouse Tasha Cobbs Leonard has debuted the official music video for “Church”, the third track on the project, featuring legendary singer-songwriter and pianist John Legend.
This collaboration merges the emotional intensity of gospel with the soulful nuance of R&B. “Church” is not just a song, but a spiritual moment wrapped in melody, reimagining worship as something that transcends a physical building. The track delivers a message that resonates with anyone seeking a connection with God beyond traditional spaces.
“When John and I recorded ‘Church,’ we wanted to create something that felt honest and sacred, like a moment of worship you could have anywhere,” Tasha Cobbs Leonard tells PEOPLE. “No lights, no crowd, no distractions, just two voices and a piano, lifting up something bigger than us.”
A Song About Finding God in Every Moment
With Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s commanding vocals and John Legend’s unmistakable tone and piano work, “Church” paints a portrait of sacred simplicity. The lyrics center on personal, intimate worship that can happen anywhere, even in the quiet corners of everyday life.
“God, it’s just You and me now / Tellin’ me what to do now / Teach me how to have church on a Monday,” they sing in the chorus.
The song expands the definition of church as a spiritual experience that isn’t confined to walls, time, or rituals. It reflects the overarching theme of the TASHA album, that worship and divine connection can be found in the mundane, in pain, in joy, and even on a Monday.
A Minimalist Visual That Elevates the Message
The official music video for “Church” takes a stripped-down approach, letting the message and music shine. Set against an all-white backdrop, the video features Tasha Cobbs Leonard, John Legend, and a choir all dressed in white, performing with humility and focus. The blank setting becomes a metaphor for how sacred spaces can be created anywhere, at any time, with intention and faith.
“Tasha and I were connected by a mutual friend, and I’m so glad we got the chance to work together,” says John Legend. “She’s such a wonderful artist — her voice, songwriting and ministry are powerful and inspiring.”
A Standout Moment from an Extraordinary Album
“Church” is one of several standout tracks on TASHA, the first-ever studio album from Tasha Cobbs Leonard, released on Friday, July 25 via Motown Gospel. Unlike her previous live worship albums, TASHA was created entirely in the studio, offering Tasha and her husband/producer Kenneth Leonard Jr. the space to stretch sonically and spiritually.
The 15-track album includes collaborations with Kirk Franklin, Lecrae, and Chandler Moore, each offering different facets of faith-driven expression. But “Church” with John Legend is especially notable for its intimacy and message, encouraging listeners to find holiness in the ordinary.
“This album is the most personal thing I’ve ever released,” says Tasha. “It’s full of truth, some joyful, some painful, but all of it rooted in my faith and my story. TASHA is about finding freedom, finding God in unexpected places, and learning to show up fully, as yourself.”
