GRAMMY Award winner Michelle Williams and modern-soul singer Kenny Lattimore have blended their voices on “God With Us,” an uplifting new song on Tyscot Records. It is out now on all major digital platforms, released the same day the film GOD WITH US opens in select theaters across the country.
The song was written by Nikki Grier, who has written for artists from Big Sean to Jon Batiste, and it interpolates the melody of Tevin Campbell’s 1993 classic “Can We Talk.” It was produced by Harmony “H-Money” Samuels, known for his work with Ella Mai, Ariana Grande and Michelle’s own Journey to Freedom. The result is a mid-tempo, feel-good groove with Kenny’s tenor and Michelle’s soprano trading lines.
“God With Us” is the first song from the film’s forthcoming soundtrack, arriving this holiday season with some of the biggest names in R&B and gospel.
Michelle is known worldwide as a member of Destiny’s Child, with solo gospel success including the No. 1 album Heart to Yours and “Say Yes” with Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland, plus a Broadway career that includes Chicago, Once on This Island and Death Becomes Her. Kenny, a Washington, D.C. native, has placed 22 songs on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart, including “For You,” which spent 17 weeks at No. 1.
The film, a modern retelling of the nativity story, stars Aspen Kennedy and Ashley Olivia Fisher alongside Rotimi, Gregory Alan Williams, Roger Guenveur Smith and Clifton Powell. Read our premiere recap →
