When Wind Meets Fire

Elevation Worship follows 2023’s <i>Echo the Angels</i> with <i>When Wind Meets Fire</i>, another highly collaborative live project from the contemporary Christian music collective. Associated with Charlotte, North Carolina’s Elevation Church, the group has become a force in the worship genre since debuting in 2007, bringing together traditional biblical messages with modern sounds while highlighting other artists from the CCM community. <i>When Wind Meets Fire</i> opens with the light and poppy “New Thing Coming”, featuring Elevation Worship member Tiffany Hudson and Elevation founder/lead pastor Steven Furtick. As the LP unfolds, the group touches on adult contemporary, soft rock and soul-adjacent sounds, with highlights including the searching “Great Is”, featuring Jenna Barrientes on lead vocals, and the image-heavy title track, led by Hudson and Chris Brown.
