Founded in 1994 by Karen Gibson MBE (the Godmother of Gospel) The Kingdom Choir, renowned for their unforgettable performance at the 2018 Royal Wedding in front of a global televised audience of two billion people is back with a captivating new music single titled “Let It Rain.”
Written by Alex Hart, Karen Gibson, and Jonathan Owusu-Yianomah, and produced by Jonathan Owusu-Yianomah, this uplifting anthem is set to touch the hearts of listeners around the world.
Featuring the mesmerising vocal talents of Gemma Risden, Marsha Morrison, James Francis, Clinton Jordan, Elaine Simpson, Kemi Bramwell, and Jonathan Owusu-Yianomah himself, “Let It Rain” is a powerful testament to the resilience we all possess.

Through its heartfelt lyrics, soul-stirring harmonies and upbeat tempo, the song resonates with the universal human experience and reminds us that we can overcome any obstacle with enduring determination.
The Kingdom Choir say, “We know Life is full of ups and downs and It’s easy to stay positive when life’s up but when it’s down, we really have to choose to be our best selves. This song really stands on the idea that trying to be the best version of ourselves through difficult times causes us to grow and makes us stronger, and that as people we are extremely resilient and powerful, and this is our greatest asset.”
