Melvin Crispell, III Releases Powerful Ballad ‘He’s Never Failed Me Yet’

Grammy, Dove and Stellar Award-nominated artist Melvin Crispell, III has released a new single with “He’s Never Failed Me Yet.”

Melvin performs a powerful ballad of celebration in this new arrangement of the CeCe Winans song “He’s Never Failed Me Yet.” Delivering hope and encouragement, Melvin’s luminous vocals shine praise on God’s constancy, finding comfort in God who is always there, and a source of light and strength through trying or sad times.

Melvin’s latest single “He’s Never Failed Me Yet” is his first newly-recorded song from an upcoming new project, where he has been busy in the studio recording new music. Melvin recently attended the 2024 Grammy Awards, where his song “God Is” was nominated for Best Gospel Performance/Song. Celebrating his second career nomination in that category, the single “God Is” (Radio Edit) is his latest single out on gospel radio now.

“God is not like men who lie
Nor like the son of men who die
His truth will always be alive
It never will be dead
So try Him for yourself and see
Those who believe, they shall receive
I pray that day, you too can see
He’s never failed me yet”

Featured from his second full-length album “No Failure,” which was released last year, Melvin’s rich voice delivers an inspiring country-tinged rendition of “God Is,” the beloved classic famously sung by the late gospel legend James Cleveland and written by Robert Fryson.

UB spoke to Melvin recently and we asked him what made him want to record “God Is?” “I wanted to redo it and put my spin on it. I’m grateful to God on how he’s using this song to bless other nations. I really want people to just feel like there’s hope and to understand more of who God is.”

Melvin’s live performance of “He’s Never Failed Me Yet” is also featured on the Black History Honors special, which is airing on the Stellar TV Network. In celebration of Black History Month, the Black History Honors 2024 broadcast is currently running in national syndication throughout the month of February into early March.
