“I Am Not Who I Was… and That’s the Blessing”

“I Am Not Who I Was… and That’s the Blessing” is a long-form Sanctuary Soul / Velvet Testimony R&B piece about transformation, healing, and the quiet power of becoming the woman you were always meant to be. This is grown-woman evolution raw, reflective, and rooted in Southern truth. Over warm chords, soft harmonies, and a slow heartbeat rhythm, Velvet Sky speaks from a place of wisdom, not wounds. She contrasts who she used to be with who she is now: learning vs. knowing, growing vs. settling, surviving vs. living. The core of the song is a spiritual shift moving from hardness to softness, from defense to peace, from survival mode to divine alignment. This piece is a testimony for anyone who has outgrown their past and stepped into their healed self. It’s intimate, cinematic, and deeply human. A reminder that transformation isn’t loud… it’s sacred. And the real blessing isn’t becoming someone new it’s finally becoming someone whole. Core Line: *“I used to pray for strength. Now I pray for softness. And somehow, I became both.”* #soulmusic #southernsoul #soulfulmusic #testimony #newsong #rnbsoul #newmusic #rnb #newrnbmusic
