Every nuance of the song’s arrangement, performance, and production has been meticulously crafted to create a transformative experience that elevates the spirit and touches the soul.
“Open Our Eyes” blends authentic gospel elements with a contemporary twist, inviting listeners on a journey of reflection and renewal. Kinard Cherry’s heartfelt performance is complemented by the sultry vocals of featured artist Jeremiah Hicks and enriched by the soulful background harmonies of Linda Charles. Together, they create a dynamic

Kinard Cherry introduces a fresh take on “Open Our Eyes,” a timeless gospel anthem originally released by The Gospel Clef’s in 1959 and written by Leon Lumpkins. This reimagined version bridges the rich heritage of the classic with a modern sonic perspective. Notably, singer/songwriter Wheeler Winstead Jr.—who also serves as the executive producer of this project—was instrumental in introducing the song to Kinard, further deepening its historical resonance.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind the track, Kinard Cherry shared, “This song is a simple prayer that the world needs right now to navigate the fast changing landscape of our time. The journey within for a deeper connection to our creator is vital.”
