Songs From The Soil

Songs From The Soil is a UK-based worship music collective and project dedicated to creating and gathering songs for the local church. The community is made up of British artists, songwriters, and worship leaders who came together with the goal of reigniting the UK Church's songbook by creating fertile spaces for new worship music. The collective aims to craft songs infused with the flavor of their local context and what they describe as "sung theology." Their music is characterized by a raw, acoustic-led, and folksy sound. The initiative also seeks to inspire the people of God to write their own songs rooted in their specific place and time. In 2023, the project released a self-titled debut album featuring 10 homegrown worship songs. The album includes tracks such as "Thanks and Praise," featuring Philippa Hanna, Rich DiCas, and Lucy Grimble; "Real Thing," featuring Marc James and Kate Cooke; "Great Redeemer," featuring Sophia Mitchell and Steph Macleod; "The Cross Has Spoken," featuring Lucy Grimble and Marc James; "You’re Still God," featuring Junior Garr and Emmanuel Smith; and "Fighting For My Heart."
