Polyphonic Music Library - Gospel Expressions Vol. 1

Introducing "Gospel Expressions Vol. 1"—a comprehensive collection of over 150 royalty-free Gospel adlib and lead vocal phrases from Grammy-nominated vocalist Nichol Eskridge, featured on tracks by Drake, J. Cole, Jack Harlow, Chance The Rapper, Westside Gunn, Conway, and many more.

"Gospel Expressions Vol. 1" delivers a diverse palette of Gospel adlibs, lead vocal phrases, runs, and shouts, providing producers with complete creative control to effortlessly incorporate these authentic vocal elements into their productions. Each vocal element offers its own distinctive character and emotion across every mood and dynamic style—from aggressive and loud to soft, intimate, and emotional—giving you endless combinations for crafting the perfect vocal texture. These are the exact types of adlibs that get looped throughout hit records to make samples unforgettable.

Meticulously captured using authentic analog equipment from the era—including a vintage Electrodyne console, vintage ribbon mics, live rooms, EMT-140 plate reverb, and processed through a Scully 4-track tape machine—these vocals possess the authentic texture, warmth, and character that perfectly recreate the sound of vintage Gospel recordings. Every element in this collection faithfully represents the tonal qualities and production aesthetics that you would find on a Gospel record from the early 70s.
