“You Know My Name” — Tasha Cobbs Leonard and Le’Andria Johnson Deliver Powerful Live Performance

Tasha Cobbs Leonard, three-time Grammy winner and the artist Billboard named Gospel Artist of the Decade, has released a live performance of “You Know My Name” featuring Le’Andria Johnson. The track lands ahead of her upcoming album, Tasha Unscripted, a 34-track project that continues to take shape with this latest preview.

The performance pairs two of the most decorated voices in modern gospel. Cobbs Leonard holds 16 Stellar Awards. Johnson, a former Sunday Best winner, has built her own following with a raw, blues-inflected delivery that cuts through a live mix. Together they trade verses and stack harmonies on a song built around a declarative chorus. The live setting gives the track a congregational feel, with a full band and choir behind them.

Cobbs Leonard announced the album earlier this year, and the project has been rolling out in pieces. “You Know My Name” follows previous singles that have already charted on gospel radio. The 34-track tracklist suggests an ambitious body of work, one that spans studio recordings and live sessions. Cobbs Leonard has not released a full-length project since 2022’s Hymns, a collection of reworked standards that won her another Grammy.

Johnson’s appearance on this track continues a pattern of high-profile collaborations for the singer. She has recorded with artists across gospel and R&B, and her voice has become a fixture on live recordings. Here, she matches Cobbs Leonard’s controlled power with her own raspy edge. The two singers alternate lines before converging on the hook, and the arrangement leaves room for both to stretch.

The release comes at a busy moment for Cobbs Leonard. She has spent much of the year on the road, headlining dates across the United States and appearing at festivals. Her label, TeeLee Records, has been rolling out promotional material for Tasha Unscripted, including behind-the-scenes footage from the recording sessions. The album’s title suggests a looser, more spontaneous approach than her previous records.

Cobbs Leonard has been a dominant figure in gospel for over a decade. Her 2013 single “Break Every Chain” became a crossover hit and remains a staple in churches worldwide. She has since released a string of live albums, including One Place Live and Royalty: Live at the Ryman, that have cemented her reputation as one of the genre’s most reliable live performers. Her ability to blend contemporary worship with traditional gospel has broadened her audience beyond the church.

Johnson brings her own history to the collaboration. She won the third season of BET’s Sunday Best in 2010, and her debut album followed shortly after. She has released multiple projects since, including The Experience, a live recording that captured her onstage energy. Her voice, often compared to the great church singers of the past, has made her a sought-after collaborator.

The new performance of “You Know My Name” is available on streaming platforms and video services. The accompanying footage was filmed during a live session, with the full band and choir visible. The visual treatment is straightforward, letting the performance carry the weight.

Tasha Unscripted is expected to arrive later this year. Cobbs Leonard has described the project as a departure from her previous work, though she has not shared a full tracklist or release date. The 34-track count suggests a double album or a deluxe edition. Fans will have to wait for the official announcement.

For now, “You Know My Name” gives listeners a sense of what the album might sound like. The track’s live energy and the chemistry between the two singers suggest Cobbs Leonard is leaning into the unscripted feel the title promises. Whether the rest of the album follows that direction remains to be seen.
