"Woman with an Issue of Blood" was Matthew Shell's Mama Carol's favorite song before she passed on 9/18/2025. As she predicted, it has become his most streamed song on YouTube (from the album "Miracles"). Shell's follow-up album "Crown of Thorns" with Devereux Grace has become his most streamed album ever on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Instagram, and many other platforms. Devereux's deep lyrics & modern House/EDM artistry have connected with listeners around the world and have expanded Shell's reach beyond the realms of jazz, RnB, gospel, & soul where he has been most comfortable for years. With this stylistic change being a risk, breaking out of Shell's comfort zone has seen his YouTube channel grow to 800,000+ subscribers and his Instagram page grow to 65,000+ followers, where his bio reads:
