Today (September 15), multicultural worship collective Village Lights released the official music video for “Christ Our King,” which can be viewed below. Village Lights is comprised of Sarah Kroger, Ike Ndolo, and Ricky Vazquez and is based out of Nashville and Arizona.
“Music is always better when it’s created in community,” shares Matt Maher, GRAMMY-nominated worship leader, Village Lights album producer and mentor to the group. “It requires such a level of trust. Every great artist knows that fundamental truth. Art is something best shared. I love this band and their willingness to include so many people in their creative journey and I’m honored to help them as a producer bring this end-of-the-church year treatment into a collective work of song for the Church and the believer’s pilgrimage.”
Earlier this year, the band released their self-titled debut EP, which showcased their heartbeat; that of unity, inclusivity, and reconciliation wrapped in worshipful devotion. Seeing themselves as more than a band, but rather a movement for those seeking justice in our world and in the Church.
Village Lights was born out of the relationship of three independent artists who often found themselves leading worship together at youth conferences and discovered a shared desire to create more modern worship music for more liturgical church spaces. Recording and releasing their debut project during the challenging circumstances of 2020-21 brought a new sense of the critical importance of community to the band, and they are now more ready than ever to let the light of Christ shine through their music.
Village Lights are set to release their debut full-length album in November. Delving into the theme of “Christ the King” as a nod to the liturgical feast of the same name in the church calendar, the collective has embarked on a journey to unpack the rich universe surrounding Christ’s humble kingship. The new project promises to deliver poignant lyrics, exploratory sonics that blend the band’s multi-ethnicity, and poetic new approaches to liturgical worship. New songs will be released in the coming months leading up to the debut album.
