Worship music has had a huge impact on modern Christian music generally, and gospel is no exception. Drawing on the sense of freedom and communality that has made worship so appealing, these tracks capture a sound that reflects not only the continued evolution of gospel, but the interplay between the historically Black church and other communities of Christian faith.

Elevation Worship belongs to a generation of Christian singers and musicians who have ushered in a sea change in worship music. The 2011 song “Exalted One” lays out the North Carolina band's bold vision, couching the genre's praise of the Lord's beneficence in distorted alt-rock guitars and surging harmonies reminiscent of U2's inspirational anthems. But the group's ambitions don't stop there: Persistently searching for contemporary ways to deliver the Gospel's messages, they also incorporate the fragile beauty of piano pop (“O Come to the Altar”) and the ethereal richness of electronic music (“Here as in Heaven”).
