Tomorrow, released in 1984 on Light Records, is the debut album by the American contemporary gospel quartet The Winans. It is considered a groundbreaking album in the gospel genre for its upbeat and contemporary R&B sound, earning The Winans the description of "Gospel Music's first 'boy band'".
The album was commercially and critically successful, with the title track winning a Grammy Award for Best Soul Gospel Performance by a Duo, Group, Choir or Chorus in 1985.
The album blends traditional gospel messages with a modern, urban sound, which helped it crossover into mainstream music charts. The lyrics, particularly on the title track, convey powerful messages about the urgency of accepting faith and making positive life choices today, as "tomorrow is not promised". Other songs address themes of God's grace, personal restoration, and the simplicity of faith.
