and you might say the 20-year-old has a bit of momentum on her side.

Her debut single “Won’t He Do It,” first featured on the TV show Greenleaf, has become a gospel hit.

The song has been on the Billboard charts for more than 40 weeks. For the past three weeks, it’s been number one on both the Hot Gospel Songs chart. This week, it moved to the top of Billboard’s Gospel Airplay chart. It had already spent two weeks at the top of the site’s Gospel Digital Sales Chart.

As for the album, it’s called “Unstoppable” and will be out July 13. Anyone pre-ordering the album will get three tracks Koryn released as part of a 2017 EP as immediate downloads. They include “Won’t He Do It.” Another track — “Down Goes Rome” — which Koryn calls one of her album favorites — also just became available.

A fourth song from that EP, “Speak the Name,” has been re-recorded with a vocal assist from Natalie Grant and that collaboration will be featured on the album.

Koryn, from Abbeville, La., was just 16 when we met her as a contestant on Season 8 of The Voice back in the spring of 2015. She finished fourth, behind Sawyer Fredericks, Meghan Linsey and Joshua Davis.

“Unstoppable” will be released under the Provident Label Group banner, a division of Sony Music.

Koryn is also spending part of the summer on the Summer Lights Tour with Matthew West, Jeremy Camp and Rend Collective. The tour will stop at UMBC in Baltimore, Md., on July 20, jut a week after “Unstoppable” drops.
