Faith Child's new single, "Good Mourning," from his third project, "When Faith Feels Far," is a heartfelt testament to life that blends openness and power. As a rapper and MOBO Award-winning artist, one of the UK's most distinctive Christian voices, Faith Child nails the balance between creating music that's catchy yet conscious.
On "Good Mourning," he captures the paradox that many of us experience, praying for a miracle while also preparing to say goodbye. It is a song for anyone who has ever found himself standing at the crossroads of hope and grief, and it does so with an honesty that feels intimate and universal. Faith Child isn't shy of giving you a glimpse into his wrestling with faith, loss, and hope.
Explicitly not an excuse to deliver neat-and-tidy answers, "Good Mourning" cracks open space for reflection, for you to feel your pain, affirm your faith, and embrace the tension between the two. "Good Mourning" sits in the grimy world of UK hip-hop but with the aspirational overtones of conscious rap. The production has a gravity that reflects the content, and ghostly melodies are layered over sharp beats, conjuring a soundscape that is both sobering and redemptive.
Faith Child's flow is authoritative yet tender, impelling the track forward whilst maintaining all its feels. For longtime fans, this track is a reminder of why his voice matters in the hip-hop landscape. For newcomers, it's an opportunity to discover music that not only sounds good but also feels essential. With "Good Mourning," Faith Child gives you a soundtrack for everyone who is still uncovering the beauty and pain involved in holding on to faith when everything goes wrong.
