    After a bit of an absence, Gladys released two new albums in the past two years. And it appears she isn't stopping yet. Here is a brand new single from her that has a classic soul groove. "Soon" is musically a remake of the Commodores' "Zoom," but with a lyrical change that makes it the logical successor to Gladys's 2014 Gospel album, Where My Heart Belongs. She sounds great and we can't wait to hear more about what's coming next for her.
