Collective Worth, the worship vision of veteran major-label drummer and songwriter James Billington, has released its debut single, “El Shaddai (I See You In Everything)” featuring gifted vocalist Laura Cashman, to Christian radio. With a sound inspired by modern worship movements like Hillsong UNITED and Elevation Worship, Collective Worth delivers a fresh, anthemic praise experience rooted in both reverence and intimacy.

The voice of El Shaddai belongs to Laura Cashman, a vocalist whose style draws inspiration from — and has been compared to — Stevie Nicks, Natalie Merchant, Kelly Clarkson, and Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland. Her tone is rich and textured, with a unique ability to deliver both the intimacy of a quiet confession and the power of a stadium-filling chorus. “I knew the track was strong, but not this strong,” James recalls. “Laura’s delivery was flawless — she captured the heart of the song from the very first take, as if she’d been singing it her whole life. I just knew people needed to hear this.”

Originally written by Billington as a lullaby and influenced by the tender grace of Edelweiss, the song reflects a peaceful yet triumphant acknowledgment of God’s sovereignty. Its poetic verses and Hebrew refrains invite listeners into a space of quiet reflection, while its sweeping chorus lifts hearts toward heaven. “His Majesty shines so bright, a beautiful and precious sight,” the song proclaims, blending scripture-inspired imagery with a melody that feels timeless.

Produced by acclaimed studio veteran Jim Ebert, “El Shaddai (I See You In Everything)” seamlessly fuses English and Hebrew in a rich tapestry of sound. Gentle yet anthemic, it celebrates the God who is both all-powerful and deeply present. It honors the One who calms storms, lights the darkness, and is revealed in the beauty of creation. “Music represents God’s perfect order of everything.” – J. Billington

Within weeks of meeting, the two had not only finished the recording but also produced a fully realized, cinematic video — an unusually fast timeline for such a polished release. “I never expected to take it to radio so quickly, and certainly not with a video this strong,” James says. “But when something aligns this perfectly, you don’t wait.”
