Josiah Queen Debuts New Single “Cloud And Fire”
Josiah Queen shared his new single, “Cloud and Fire.” The gentle, emotional track finds him reflecting on life’s journey and the search for love and meaning. Josiah Queen wrote the song with singer-songwriter John Michael Howell, who also produced, Zac Lawson and Hillsong UNITED’s Dylan Thomas.
Of the track Josiah says, “I wrote Cloud and Fire after reading about the story of Moses and the Israelites journeying through the desert, led by a pillar of cloud in the day and a pillar of fire at night. It’s a reminder of God’s steadfast guidance through every trial.”
“Cloud and Fire” is from his forthcoming album, Mt. Zion, the follow-up to The Prodigal, Josiah Queen’s independently released, chart-topping debut album, which has racked up over 140 million combined global streams to date.
The 22-year-old Tampa native will celebrate the album’s release with a pair of special shows, headlining Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on October 27 and Yuengling Center in Tampa on November 1. Josiah Queen is currently performing as special guest on the U.S. leg of Phil Wickham and Brandon Lake’s Summer Worship Nights Tour.
Fresh off two consecutive nights at American Airlines Center in Dallas, the arena run now heads to PHX Arena in Phoenix for a sold-out July 31 show. It will wrap up on August 3 at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. See below for itinerary.
