These are important days. There is a need to remind everyone that ‘Black Lives Matter’. Following the killing of George Floyd, amidst protest marches and uncomfortable, yet constructive conversations, the question was: how should we respond? After some consideration, we felt ‘Somebody Please Hear Our Voice’ perfectly reflects God’s heart for Worship and Justice.
‘For it’s with One Voice we will sing a new song and with One Voice we will right what’s wrong’
“Somebody please hear our voice” was written by Noel Robinson & Israel Houghton and produced by Nicky Brown at Abbey Road Studios
Several church leaders take part in the video alongside us as we stand for justice together. We are also delighted to partner with Premier on this release.
