 Keb’ Mo’ Releases ‘Hand It Over’ New Single Featuring the Soweto Gospel Choir 5x GRAMMY‑winner Keb’ Mo’ has released “Hand It Over,” a powerful new version of his classic track featuring the Soweto Gospel Choir. The song appears on his forthcoming album The Breakdown, out August 21 via Concord Records. Originally featured on his 1996 GRAMMY‑winning album Just Like You, the 2024 reimagining was recorded at Flame Studios in Johannesburg — a historic space housed in a former prison where Nelson Mandela was held during the Rivonia Trial. Reflecting on the collaboration, Keb’ Mo’ shares: “I’m excited to share my collaboration with the Soweto Gospel Choir… Once again, I’m makin’ my mama proud by performing her favorite song of mine. And thank you to the SGC for going on this journey with me!” “Hand It Over” arrives with deep emotional weight. The track was recorded just months before Keb’ Mo’ faced a life‑threatening health crisis in 2024, when shortness of breath on tour led to an emergency open‑heart surgery. The Breakdown was crafted in the aftermath — a 10‑song collection recorded at his home studio outside Nashville as he recovered physically and navigated the end of his nearly 20‑year marriage. Stark, vulnerable, and unguarded, the album captures Keb’ Mo’ at his most revealing, confronting aging, upheaval, and change while still holding tight to the hope, faith, and love that have always anchored his music. The new single follows this month’s release of “Fussing and Fighting,” which arrived alongside a live performance video. “I had to go through some difficult experiences to get these songs,” Keb’ Mo’ says. “But I learned a lot looking back on my life and my relationships and taking inventory of everything in a new light.” That perspective fuels The Breakdown, transforming pain into resilience at every turn. “I’m turning 75 this year,” he reflects. “I know I won’t be around forever. All you can do is make the most of what you’ve got and be grateful for every step of the journey.” The Breakdown: 01. Fussing and Fighting 02. Every Step of the Way 03.
