Internationally recognized praise band Planetshakers releases “Delight-Live” globally today (June 21) from Venture3Media (V3M) at all major digital and streaming outlet. The single will be featured on the band’s new, full-length album, The Winning Team, set to release July 19.
Written by Andy Harrison and Josh Ham and produced by Joth Hunt, “Delight” was recorded live at Planetshakers Conference 2024 in the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC). Referencing the exaltation by King David in Psalm 37:4 to “take delight in the Lord,” Hunt says the song is “about gathering up all of our affection and our praise and channeling it up to God.”
“Along with the heartfelt, scriptural lyrics, ‘Delight’ is an upbeat praise song that has a bit of funk, hip hop and dance EDM,” continues Hunt. “It’s kind of a lit bit of everything with even a rap in the bridge. People of all ages, including the older generation in our church, fully embrace it too. My mum and dad are in their late sixties, seventies and they’re getting into it. The participation has been great.”
“Even people that don’t normally dance are expressing themselves physically,” adds Ps. Sam Evans, which can be seen in the companion video to the song. “There is the touch of God that is getting people out of their mindset or their situation, getting them celebrating.”
Planetshakers’ new single follows both the joyful, high energy “Praise On It” and the worshipful, anthemic “You Have My Heart” that were released earlier this year.
