Legendary gospel icon CeCe Winans, the best-selling and most-awarded female gospel artist of all time, rings in the New Year with the release of her heartfelt new rendition of the timeless classic “Lean on Me.” Now available on all major streaming and digital platforms via PureSprings Gospel/Fair Trade Services.
Originally penned and popularized by Bill Withers in 1972 as a powerful message of friendship and mutual support, “Lean on Me” has resonated across generations as a beacon of unity and compassion. In CeCe Winans’ masterful reimagining, the song takes on a deeply spiritual dimension, infusing its universal lyrics with the profound warmth and anointing that have defined her unparalleled career.
“So grateful to finally share my new version of LEAN ON ME with you 🤍,” Winans shared on social media. “This song was such a joy to record, and I hope it blesses you!”
With her signature rich, emotive vocals soaring over lush arrangements, Winans transforms the beloved anthem into an uplifting gospel experience that speaks directly to the soul. This fresh take emphasizes themes of reliance on one another—and ultimately on divine strength—making it a timely reminder of hope, community, and resilience as we step into 2026.
Winans, a 17-time GRAMMY winner with countless Dove and Stellar Awards, continues to push boundaries while staying true to her gospel roots. Following the massive success of her recent live albums Believe For It and More Than This, which dominated charts and worship spaces worldwide, “Lean on Me” stands as a standalone single poised to inspire listeners everywhere.
The release coincides with Winans’ high-profile performance on CBS’ New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash, where she will captivate millions with her extraordinary talent.
