For KING & COUNTRY Pushes for Consecutive No. 1 with 'Amen,' Following 'Burn the Ships,' 'God Only Knows'
for KING & COUNTRY went back to the studio and reworked the track from their GRAMMY winning album Burn the Ships to include emotive vocals from Tony Williams, and timely wordsmithing from Lecrae.
"'Amen' is a song of deep personal significance to us," Luke Smallbone shared in a statement. "It represents a sort of death and new life, a rebirth if you will."
Joel Smallbone adds, "When we performed it last autumn at an award show with Lecrae, Tony Williams, and a gospel choir, it launched the song into another stratosphere of meaning. So, with 2020 now in the rearview mirror, we look to move past these global hardships together and start fresh with a new perspective, which is the core essence of the song. And thanks to Lecrae's galvanizing prayer of humility along with Tony's characteristic and purposeful voice."
