Jamal Roberts, winner of American Idol season 23, continues to shine with his latest project — a live duet with Grammy-winning gospel artist Jonathan McReynolds on the track “Still.” The collaboration has already been hailed as one of the most moving gospel performances of the year, blending Roberts’ raw power with McReynolds’ soulful precision.

A Performance That Moves the Soul

From the opening notes, Roberts’ unmistakable voice cuts straight to the heart, while McReynolds delivers his signature balance of delicacy and strength. Fans were quick to respond across social media, describing the performance as nothing short of “anointed.”

One listener commented:

“This is gospel worship. The power and anointing I’ve been waiting for… He STILL loves me 🙌🏾.”

The duo’s deep emotional connection is rooted in mentorship. McReynolds has supported Roberts since his early days on Sunday Best, making this collaboration even more meaningful.

Celebrity Support and Rising Fame

Jamal Roberts’ rise has been nothing short of meteoric. Recently, he received a surprise backstage visit from gospel legends David and Tamela Mann, who jokingly called themselves his “auntie and uncle.” The lighthearted moment, which Roberts shared on Instagram, only added to his growing fan base.

Career Milestones Since American Idol

Since his victory on American Idol in 2025, Roberts has released fan-favorite singles including “Heal” and “Mississippi.” His performances have sold out venues such as Nashville’s City Winery, proving his ability to connect with audiences beyond television.

Now, with “Still,” Roberts is showing not only his versatility but also his spiritual depth, marking an important chapter in his career.

Upcoming Tour With Brandy and Monica
