In today’s world, creativity is not something to be brushed to the side; it must be a part of any and all ventures. Artists who tend to write songs for the church and desire to implement creativity into their songs run the risk of either looking too abstract or they become a ground-breaking phenomenon.

Atlanta-based worship leader Jimi Cravity is truly one of those risk-takers with his new single, “Surrender,” from his upcoming album, Heaven.   It is also featured in Passion’s latest album, Salvation’s Tide Is Coming.

The track paints a picture of giving up all that we are to and for the Lord, as Cravity sings, “Lord, I am your vessel here… from glory to glory, I am transformed in Your image… And I, I surrender.” The lyrics aren’t anything that church-goers haven’t already heard, but the melody is extremely catchy. Without a doubt, this song could be sung at any church on any given Sunday and it wouldn’t feel out of place. Musically, some people may find the single reminiscent of the minimalistic style of Lorde or Imogen Heap; others, however, may feel like there should be more instrumental depth. Regardless of how the listener may feel, there is some foundational talent that can been seen here. However, that can’t be accurately understood in its entirety with just this track alone.
