Members of the UK Gospel community, singers and song write has come together to form a collaboration song to record a song of hope to encourage the nation during self-isolation.
The project is the brainchild of MOBO Award-winning gospel singer Lurine Cato. She said, “The nation is in a period of turmoil at the moment due to coronavirus, lockdown and self- isolation. I felt inspired to bring the gospel artists and singers who love gospel together to record a song of hope and to also encourage greater unity amongst artists. We decided to record the classic hymn ‘Great is thy Faithfulness’ because it is such an inspiring song. It’s a traditional hymn that will remind listeners that we can rely on God during difficult times.”
Lurine enlisted the support of producer/musician Kenton Reid and they contacted artists from across the UK, the Caribbean and Europe who all agreed to take part.
The roll call of artists that took part in the recording includes Royal wedding lead singer Paul Lee, Kingdom Choir member Wayne Ellington, X-Factor runner Up Jahmene Douglas, X Factor finalist Shan Ako, former The Voice UK contestants Roger Samuels, Janine Dyer, Jason Nicholas Porter and 2020 The Voice UK participant Shezar, recording artist Tony Momrelle, Brit award nominee Rachel McFarlane, worship singers Yolanda Antonio, Noel Robinson and many more. Other artists that took part in the recording are Faye Simpson, John Fisher, Ni-Cola, Donna Akodu, Clif ‘n’ Marie, Hildia Campbell, Isaiah Raymond, Becca Folkes, Called out Music, Laia Badrenas, Christelle Pierron, Emmanuel Smith, Israel J Allen, Juanita Francis and MOBO award winner Volney Morgan.
The recording took seven days to complete and is set to be released on Sunday 29 March at 6 am on a range of social media platforms. “I really hope that this song touches the heart of the nation and that for a few minutes people will be inspired and be comforted in the fact that God will help us through these difficult times.” by Marcia Dixon
