ELEVATION RHYTHM, the youth-focused worship collective from Elevation Church in Charlotte, N.C., has released its latest project, Victory Lap, a 10-track album capturing the emotional intensity of the Christian faith journey with a raw, unfiltered approach to recording.
The album, which dropped Friday, includes standout tracks “Goodbye Yesterday” and “At The Altar” and is designed as a musical roadmap for believers navigating life after choosing to follow Jesus. Each track is infused with a sense of triumph, staying true to the album’s title and overarching theme.
In a departure from traditional studio recording, Victory Lap was captured in a makeshift studio without an audience or rehearsals. Josh Holiday, the group’s lead songwriter and producer, aimed to harness spontaneity and authenticity. Many of the final tracks were recorded live in a single take, giving the album a dynamic, in-the-moment feel.
The project features a host of guest artists, including ELEVATION RHYTHM mainstay Joe L Barnes, Elevation Worship’s Tiffany Hudson, Gracie Binion, and GRAMMY® nominee Blessing Offor. New voices Zach Webb and Charles Weems also contribute to the eclectic vocal mix.
Fresh off a sold-out spring run with Forrest Frank’s Child of God II Tour, which drew more than 215,000 attendees, ELEVATION RHYTHM heads to Nashville this weekend to perform at the K-LOVE Fan Awards. The group is nominated for both “Group of the Year” and “Worship Song of the Year” for their track “Goodbye Yesterday.” They’ll take the stage at the Grand Ole Opry for the first time during the awards ceremony.
The group will also join the Elevation Nights fall tour, launching October 21. Tour dates and details are available at ElevationNights.com.
Since their debut with Growing Pains in 2022, ELEVATION RHYTHM has steadily grown from a student ministry worship band into a national touring act. Their collaborations with artists like Forrest Frank and Lecrae have helped them bridge generational and stylistic gaps in the Christian music landscape, cementing their role as a driving force for the next wave of worship music.
Victory Lap is now available on all major streaming platforms.
