Mary Mary Turns 25 Years Old!

The year is 2000, and you’re driving on a nice, breezy day. You pop in the album “Thankful” and blast “Shackles” and immediately feel encouraged. Fast-forward 25 years and five albums later, that same Mary Mary album can be played and instantly shift the atmosphere.

What is Mary Mary Doing Now?


From “God In Me” to “Walking,” “Go Get It,” and more, this dynamic duo has consistently provided inspirational, faith-filled messages to uplift the masses. Mary Mary has mastered a unique contemporary gospel sound that catches the eye and speaks to the soul no matter the walk of life.


Erica and Tina Campbell are forces to be reckoned with on their own. Both have released successful solo projects over the years. While their supporters love their solo songs, they miss the special sound the sisters can create as a team, alongside their husband/brother-in-law producer, Warryn Campbell.

The group was featured on MC Lyte's single "Thank You" alongside Muni Long and Zaya Campbell, which dropped last Summer (2024). The sisters' blended vocals can be heard on the hook chanting, "Couldn't break me so it built me, like a fire."


Fans are still optimistically hoping for another album. And it looks like that prayer will soon be answered!


Erica Campbell recently ( March 2025) shared a clip from her Instagram that shows Mary Mary working in the studio together.



Recent Mary Mary Performances


While we're waiting on a new album, the Marys are still spreading the gospel in many ways. In 2022, they surprised fans with a beautiful rendition of “Lift Every Voice & Sing” for Superbowl LVI.


Their 2023 performance of 'Shackles' in Disneyland reminded everyone of the magic that Mary Mary brings.


In 2024, their performances of their classic hit "Yesterday" at the Kennedy Center and the 25th Super Bowl Souful Celebration had social media users leaving numerous comments pleading for new music from the singers.



Tina and Erica have been keeping the Mary Mary sound alive. From radio and reality TV shows to tours, books, and conferences- they've made it their business to tell the world about Jesus.


25th Year Celebration

This year, multi-Grammy and award-winning group Mary Mary will celebrate 25 years in music in a very special way. From October 19-26, 2025, Mary Mary will be setting sail from New Orleans for the annual Tom Joyner Foundation Fantastic Voyage!
