Roc Nation announces the release of Grammy® Award winning singer-songwriter VICTORY’s new album titled “GLORY HOUR LIVE”, featuring live recordings of her “Glory Hour” studio album originally released in 2023, plus new tracks never previously before heard
The album was recorded earlier this year in front of live audiences in Dallas and Atlanta, and showcases VICTORY on tunes such as “One Thing,” “I Don’t Have To Pretend,” “Just Like In Heaven,” “The Word,” and more. Coinciding with the album, Victory also drops her new music video today of her live performance of “One Thing.”
Says Victory: “I wanted to create an album that could only be captured by experiencing the Living Word of GOD together with a LIVE audience, a LIVE band and a real life conviction to testify of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is ‘Glory Hour LIVE.’”
Named Amazon’s 2023 “Breakthrough Artist of the Year,” VICTORY has appeared on NBC’s Today and The Kelly Clarkson Show, and performed in arenas nationwide as featured guest supporting artist on two-time GRAMMY® Award-winning Lauren Daigle’s highly acclaimed “The Kaleidoscope Tour” last year, continuing through 2024.
Grammy® award winning Roc Nation singer/songwriter VICTORY releases her new live album, “Glory Hour Live,” following her sophomore collection and first foray into gospel music, “Glory Hour” (2023) – following up her first two folk/jazz/soul recordings “It’s a New Dawn” (2017) and her critically acclaimed debut album, “The Broken Instrument” (2018).
Growing up in a family deeply committed to music and live performances, VICTORY is one of nine siblings who sang in the Boys & Girls Choir of Detroit, an organization founded by her father John Boyd. Taking music seriously as a career from the start, she began singing with the choir at age four, and later studied jazz guitar.
When she was 12, the family moved to North Bergen, New Jersey, and they started busking together using various names – including Peace Industry Music Group – at NYC tourist attractions and on subway platforms. The Boyds became particularly renowned for their appearances in the Minton Tile Arcade next to Bethesda Fountain, a spot favored for its great acoustics.
VICTORY and four of her siblings — older brother Abraham and younger siblings Angel, Israel, and Momo, later formed the offshoot group Infinity’s Song, which rose to national prominence in 2015 after pop singer Tori Kelly happened upon them performing “Oceans” one day in Central Park and joined in. A video of the impromptu performance went viral (1.2M views on YouTube).
In 2015, Peace Industry Music Group released Infinity’s Song’s self-titled debut album. The Boyds later played for Jay-Z, who signed them to Roc Nation, ultimately leading to VICTORY’s signing with the label as a solo artist and releasing “It’s A New Dawn.”
The EP featured her beautiful renditions of songs by two of her greatest influences, Nina Simone (“Feeling Good”) and Stevie Wonder (“Overjoyed”). In 2020, Infinity’s Song released their label debut “Mad Love.” In 2019, VICTORY won her first Grammy® for her work on Kanye West’s album “Jesus is King” and performed the National Anthem at an NFL playoffs game in 2018.
