When you hit play on “Sing Praise (Radio Edit)” by Whirlwind, you’re not just hearing a gospel track, you’re stepping into a full-color soundscape that refuses to sit neatly in one genre box. That’s kind of their thing. The band calls their style nouveau gospel, and this single makes it obvious why: there are gospel roots here, sure, but also shades of pop, rock, soul, and even a glimmer of reggae swing in the rhythm.

This is the lead track from their 14-song album More Whirl, and it’s the sort of opener that instantly announces: We came to lift spirits. The groove starts gently, warm keys, smooth bassline, before blooming into a kaleidoscope of layered harmonies. Then comes the chorus that’s impossible not to hum after one listen: “Sing praise in the mornings, sing praise in the evenings, sing praise from your heart.”
Lyrically, “Sing Praise” walks the line between reminder and rally cry. It speaks to the moments when faith feels distant “Sometimes it’s easy to forget who you are / Lord, it seems the distance is too far”—but doesn’t stay in the heaviness. It pivots toward light, offering praise as the path back to center.

The full version even includes a rap section (cut from this radio edit) that underscores how serious they are about bending genres in service of their message. And it’s working: Whirlwind is currently in the running for the 68th Grammy Awards, aiming for Best Gospel Album, and they’ve already landed on first-round ballots the past three years. They’re not just trying to win hardware—they’re on a mission to get more ears on their sound and more hearts in the conversation.
