Chris Oledude Drops Debut Album Preacher Man – Vol. 1 and New Single Turning Tables
Artist Chris Oledude has officially stepped into a new creative era with the release of his debut album Preacher Man – Vol. 1 along with a fresh single titled Turning Tables. The project arrives through CESO Enterprises, Inc. and introduces listeners to eleven original works that reflect more than four decades of musical ideas, personal history, and social justice themes.
Preacher Man – Vol. 1 gathers songs that Oledude has crafted across many years, shaping them into a cohesive collection that marks an exciting moment in his artistic journey. Fans may already recognize two tracks. Orange Blues 24 came out in late 2024 and No Crowns For Clowns arrived in July 2025. Both singles helped build anticipation for the full release, which showcases a wide and heartfelt range of topics and collaborations.
The newest single Turning Tables features Lindsey Wilson and stands out as a fair wages anthem with a strong rhythmic pulse. The track was co written by Christopher R. Owens and Dr. Lora-Ellen McKinney whose earlier poem Set The Captives Free sparked earlier work from Oledude. Turning Tables evolved over several years. The idea took shape in 2022 before Oledude wrote the music in 2023, performed it live in 2024, and completed the final studio version after an eighteen month process.
The song connects its message to the teachings of Jesus while pointing toward the reality that many working people still face today. Turning Tables benefitted from a talented roster of musicians and vocalists. Production took place across respected studios in New York, bringing in rhythm and lead guitar, drums, and a large group of background singers who add power and warmth.
With its eleven tracks, including Save The Children, We Will Get Through This, and The Choice, Preacher Man – Vol. 1 offers more than 58 minutes of music. Oledude and CESO Enterprises are keeping the project accessible. Digital downloads come at a discounted price and include free copies of Turning Tables and Orange Blues. A CD version is also available and will begin shipping in December with the same bonus downloads.
Preacher Man – Vol. 1 marks a strong debut that blends Oledude’s long standing commitment to art and activism with a renewed sense of purpose. Fans can explore the full album now on major streaming services and support the artist through the available purchase options.
