Blending a flexible tenor with easygoing warmth and shapeshifting soundscapes, Ryan Ellis delivers worship music that's as sincere as it is dynamic. Beginning with 2015's Kingdom Glory EP, he's suffused rock, R&B and pop with themes of spirituality. On "I Know I Need You”, he coats retro electro-pop with spurts of wispy falsetto and a relationship with the Lord above. For "Son of David”, he teams up with Brandon Lake, turning a communal clap and a backing choir into a theme song for redemption and spiritual catharsis. Soaring above twinkling piano keys, he embodies a believer's plea and the power of willful surrender. When he's not crafting tunes for the dance floor or revivals, Ellis escapes to meditation, as on "Heart of the Father”. Coasting over languid, emotive piano and tranquil percussion, his expressive croons evoke calm reassurance—the understated magnanimity of the spirit.
