West Love: the voice that took gospel to the top of the chart
She can pack a dance floor with "Work It" and then put a praise song at No. 1. Few singers on the circuit have her range.
Who she is
West Love is a Georgia-based singer who came up through gospel before she moved into southern soul. On the circuit she is known first for "Work It," a stepping record that still gets called for at shows.
Her 2026
This was the year the two sides of her music met. Her album Reach: The Voice After The Storm arrived in the spring and leaned into her church roots. "(God's) Been Good" went to No. 1 on Daddy B. Nice's Top 40 Southern Soul Singles in May, with "Keep Pushing" at No. 3 on the same list. A gospel record topping a secular southern soul chart almost never happens. Daddy B. Nice gave the album five stars.
The year brought other marks too:
- In February she received a key to the State of Georgia at the Capitol.
- In August Daddy B. Nice moved her up to No. 4 on his ranking of the genre's current generation.
- "Bet On Me" reached No. 2 on his September list.
- She is the featured voice on Breeze MrDo2Much's "Half Steppin'," which is No. 1 for November.
