Tasha Cobbs Leonard Says Jesus Has The “Final Say”
3x GRAMMY® winner and Billboard’s Gospel Artist of the Decade Tasha Cobbs Leonard returns with her powerful new single “Final Say,” out today via Motown Gospel/TeeLee Records. Captured live during her recent TASHA UNSCRIPTED recording earlier this year, the song arrives alongside an official video, giving fans a look into the energy, emotion, and spirit of the night.
Anchored by Cobbs Leonard’s unmistakable voice, “Final Say” is a bold declaration of faith, surrender, and confidence — the kind of song built to meet listeners in real time and remind them that no circumstance gets the last word. The track captures the spontaneous power of Cobbs Leonard’s live ministry while pointing toward what’s next in an already monumental season.
“‘Final Say’ is my declaration,” says Tasha Cobbs Leonard. “It came from a real place of surrender and trust — that no matter what things look like, God still has the final word. Capturing it live during TASHA UNSCRIPTED made it even more special because you can feel the room responding in real time. I’m so excited for people to experience this moment.”
The new song follows Cobbs Leonard’s recent TASHA UNSCRIPTED (Live Recording) event, a “mic toss” style live capture where she revisited defining songs from her catalog and created new moments in real time. Joined by a powerhouse roster of special guests including Mickey Guyton, Kierra Sheard-Kelly, Jonathan McReynolds, Israel Houghton, William Murphy, Le’Andria Johnson, Travis Greene, Dante Bowe, Melvin Crispell III, and more, the night underscored Tasha’s singular ability to turn a room into an experience. “Final Say” now offers the first taste of that atmosphere, with more to be revealed soon.
Cobbs Leonard will bring the spirit of that evening to audiences across the country this fall with the TASHA UNSCRIPTED NIGHTS TOUR. Designed as an intimate, powerful night of music and real-time moments, the tour will revisit fan-favorite songs from across her catalog while creating space for spontaneous, spirit-led performances. More cities and dates will be announced soon. Tour routing below.
The release arrives amid an extraordinary awards-season run for Cobbs Leonard.

This has been a career-defining chapter for Cobbs Leonard, whose first-ever studio album TASHA debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums, #1 Current Gospel Album, and #1 Top Christian/Gospel Album charts. The project has earned widespread critical acclaim for its genre-blending ambition, threading gospel through R&B, hip-hop, pop, country, and more, while garnering coverage from major national outlets including a feature on the cover of The New York Times Arts section, as well as praise from Billboard, Essence, PEOPLE, and beyond. The album has also delivered multiple breakthrough moments across radio, streaming, and national television. “Church” featuring EGOT winner John Legend reached #1 on Billboard’s Gospel Airplay chart, and Cobbs Leonard brought gospel to rare mainstream stages with a standout performance at the GRAMMY® Premiere Ceremony and a barrier-breaking late-night performance on Jimmy Kimmel.
