Royal Anthems Announces Release of Latest Single, “Be Enthroned” Featuring Kylie Berry and Alex Grant
Burlington, ON, August 30, 2024 — Royal Anthems, a Canadian national worship music project, proudly announces the release of its latest single, “Be Enthroned,” now available at royalanthems.com/songs. As the third single in a series of four anticipated tracks, “Be Enthroned” continues Royal Anthems’ vision to unite the church in Canada through worship music, following the releases of “Thank You” and “Good, Good Day” – now available on all streaming and social media platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and YouTube.
“Be Enthroned” emerges from an inspiring songwriter’s retreat at Crossroads Unity Commons in Burlington, ON, where Canadian worship leaders Kylie Berry, Alex Grant, and Joel Auge crafted the lyrics and music. This single is a powerful declaration of God’s majesty and a heartfelt prayer for revival, capturing the essence of Royal Anthems’ vision to unite the church through transformative worship music.
A Vision Realized: The Heart Behind “Be Enthroned”
Reflecting on the retreat experience, Alex Grant of Winnipeg’s Anchor Point Church shares, “Our initial awkwardness melted away as soon as we began worshiping. Crossroads Unity Commons‘ chapel became our unifying space, bringing us together in profound unity. Authentic worship leaders don’t need to be led; they’re already there. “Be Enthroned” embodies that unity and reverence.”
Kylie Berry, co-pastor of People Church Toronto, describes her journey: “I was nervous coming in but deeply thankful for the opportunity. The Royal Anthems team fostered an environment where we could worship with our eyes solely on Jesus.”
Kylie further reflects, “Lately, the Lord’s been pulling our hearts towards Canada. I had a vision of overlooking the skyline and felt called to be part of a breakthrough in Canadian worship. That moment of revelation, along with the first line ‘What is it like?’ which came to me during that vision, became a cornerstone of the song. It’s about capturing a glimpse of being with Jesus and fostering a deeper reverence and awe in worship.”
Joel Auge, Crossroads Chief Growth Officer and a worship leader at Hope Bible Church in Oakville, highlights the project’s importance: “In Canada, despite being the third-largest market for worship music, there’s a noticeable disconnect in our worship scene. This project brings together voices from across the country to create music that resonates deeply with the local church.” He adds, “The process of creating “Be Enthroned” was a powerful experience of collective worship and unity. It’s a testament to what happens when diverse voices come together with a shared vision. This song not only reflects our individual journeys but also our collective desire to see the Canadian church fully experience the presence of God. It’s a reminder that, despite our differences, we are united in our worship and longing for a deeper connection with the divine.”
