Nearly a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, many peoples' love-lives have taken a hit. If you're single, dating can be a downright dangerous proposition; if you have a live-in partner, being in the same space nonstop for months on end can lead to friction. 

Thankfully, in this week's Positive Vibes Only, GRAMMY-nominated DJ/producer Todd Terry and House Gospel Choir are here to strengthen us during this trying time for romance. From 29 different windows, they sing in crisp harmony about the oneness of the human family and our common fallibility and need for acceptance. In other words, we're all in this together. "If you need some love," they sing as a united throng, "Don’t you dare give up."

At the top of the video, TV host, actress, and entrepreneur Stacy Ike offers a soul-lifting speech about how we need to nurture our relationships during this isolating, perilous time—only to others, but to ourselves.

It's one thing to write a gospel song that hectors and chides; it's another to write a devotional that disintegrates the ego and basks in spiritual light.

Israel Houghton, who performs with the collective New Breed, firmly belongs to the latter category. In his gorgeous, droning song "Accepted," he plumbs spiritual dimensions with languorousness and delicacy that would make Astral Weeks-era Van Morrison proud.

In the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only, watch Israel and the New Breed perform "Accepted," which Houghton wrote with Bre Botello, Rick Botello and Ethan Kent. The composition blooms from droning, negative space to a rapturous climax.

Our family, friends, jobs and every other sector of life are bound to let us down now and again. But music may be the only component of our existence that always does us a solid. TV personality and host Jason Carter is keenly aware of this.

"It's a safe space; it's a solace; it's a comfortable blanket that we all need from time to time," Carter says in the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only. "Especially after everything we've been through in the last year, many are finding it hard to adjust to their new normal and what that looks like."

That said, "You can always rely on music to put a smile on your face," Carter says. He then introduces Hillsong Worship, a devout duo who performs its ascendant song, "Hosanna," on voice and piano while shrouded in monochrome.

We're now entering the second March of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite vaccines being rolled out worldwide, many are falling victim to a feeling of hopelessness. To Lewis Howes, gratitude is our sharpest weapon for when we feel ourselves spiraling, gripped by COVID fatigue.

"It's really hard to be anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and angry while you're being grateful," the author, keynote speaker and entrepreneur says in the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only.

"So, anytime you're feeling those emotions, thoughts or frustrations, focus on something you're so grateful for," he continues. This, he explains, could be as minor as a meal or as major as a transformative experience with a loved one.

Howes then introduces Mali Music, a four-time GRAMMY-nominated gospel-R&B great, who performs his deeply spiritual ode to divine favor, "My Blessings." Mali Music is currently nominated for Best Gospel Performance/Song for his 2020 song "Movin' On," with Jonathan McReynolds, at the 2021 GRAMMY Awards show.

Everyone seems to be pondering music's return to amphitheaters and stadiums, but the pandemic stole a far more intimate forum of expression: the house show.

In the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only, two-time GRAMMY-nominated gospel singer VaShawn Mitchell exudes "Joy" in what looks like the most fun kickback ever. For his performance of the song, written by Pat Barret and Tony Brown, Mitchell gathers a few friends around a PA system to blow the roof off the place.
