Raury - God’s Whisper

I’m not religious, but the spirited ensemble of the footage accompanying Raury’s rousing new single looks like the sort of church I might want to be a part of.

The clip sees Raury waking on a rooftop, and the track starts as soon as his feet hit the ground, with a handclap beat and a chant that instantly lodges itself in your head. It’s there to stay - the song is winningly sincere and hopelessly catchy. Raury and co. mess about with everything from baseball bats to fireworks as they consolidate bonds forged by a shared sense of hope. They’re not prepared to live their lives on their knees, and the chorus of their defiance will be ringing in your ears long after this five-minute fix is over.

Look out for Raury’s Indido Child EP, coming soon.
