Released on March 28, 2025, Stephani Ezatoff’s latest single, God Will Open The Windows Of Heaven, is more than just a cover—it’s a heartfelt tribute to the legacy of Gospel and Blues and the timeless artists who shaped her musical journey. Hailing from Pittsburgh, Stephani delivers a rendition of Babbie Mason’s classic hymn that feels both reverent and refreshingly alive, blending deep Gospel roots with a gritty, bluesy flair.
Produced by Brian Speer of the legendary Speer Family, the track was recorded at The Sound Shop on Nashville’s historic Music Row, a venue that has seen greats like Paul McCartney, Dolly Parton, and Olivia Newton-John pass through its doors before its demolition. That alone adds a layer of history to the project. One musician who worked on the song even called it “history in the making,” and it’s not hard to see why. The combination of powerhouse Nashville session players, soulful background vocals, and Stephani’s commanding performance makes this single stand out as both a homage and a bold artistic statement.
The song draws directly from Malachi 3:10, the biblical verse that promises God will “open the windows of heaven and flood you with blessing after blessing.” This spiritual foundation is brought to life through Stephani’s voice, which carries the conviction of someone who not only sings the words but believes them. Her delivery is raw yet refined, touching on the earthy honesty of the Blues while holding onto the reverence of Gospel tradition.
What makes this release special is its ability to bridge two worlds. Gospel and Blues have always shared a deep, intertwined history, and Stephani leans into that connection with authenticity. The track carries a Southern boogie-woogie energy, driven by a strong backbeat and layered with a richness that feels both vintage and modern. While Mason’s original remains a cornerstone of Gospel music, Stephani breathes new life into it by emphasizing the grit, groove, and emotional depth that Blues can offer.
The recognition has already begun to follow. Stephani was named a Semi-Finalist in the 2025 Unsigned Only Music Awards for Best Female Vocalist—a testament to her artistry and the impact of this single. It’s easy to see why judges and listeners alike have been drawn to her performance. Her voice is powerful but not overbearing, confident yet vulnerable, carrying the kind of soul that connects instantly with an audience.
Beyond its technical excellence, the project carries a sense of significance. Recording at The Sound Shop just before its demolition feels symbolic—capturing a piece of musical history before it slipped away. That symbolism mirrors the song’s own message: that blessings can come unexpectedly, often in moments that feel fleeting but leave a lasting impact.
With God Will Open The Windows Of Heaven, Stephani Ezatoff has delivered more than just a song; she has crafted an experience. It’s a project that honors the past, celebrates the present, and points to a future where Gospel and Blues continue to inspire. For those who crave music with both heart and history, this single is not to be missed.
