MOBO Award-winning rapper and chart-topping Christian artist FAITH CHILD is proud to unveil his long-awaited and highly anticipated third studio album WHEN FAITH FEELS FAR. Backed by the Official UK Christian and Gospel #1 single ‘Oluwa Is Involved’, as well as the recently released track ‘Wildfire’ featuring GRAMMY Award winner Erica Campbell (Mary Mary), When Faith Feels Far is Faith Child’s most candid body of work yet, offering an honest reckoning with doubt, unanswered prayers, grief and the stubborn return of hope after the loss of his father. Written for the moments when belief feels out of reach, the album sits in the tension between wrestling with God and resting in Him, offering songs that comfort, challenge and ultimately lift. It’s a faith record for real life – vulnerable, unpretentious, and laser-focused on the hope and light that remains.
Across the 15-track offering, Faith Child tells the truth in real time. On ‘Good Mourning’, he tackles the paradox of praying for healing while preparing to say goodbye, and ‘Unbelief’ sees him drawing on the scriptures in Mark 9 to give language to faith under pressure, while ‘Church Hurt’ with spoken-word artist Briggs the Wordsmith, and ‘A Million Miles’ extend empathy and apology to those wounded by the faith community. Faith confronts prejudice and cycles of violence on ‘Stereotype’ and ‘Older’, while joy breaks through on ‘Oluwa Is Involved’, which testifies that every win belongs to God, and ‘Holy Place’ turns daily obedience into anthem, with tracks like ‘Cardio’, ‘Fast Life’, ‘New Era’, ‘Flexodus’ and ‘Creator of the World’ threading themes such as restoration, discipline, renewal and worship through gripping verses and infectious ear-grabbing hooks.
Sonically, When Faith Feels Far moves with Faith Child’s signature fluency - rap, gospel, electronica, afrofusion and pop music are woven into lush, expansive, forward-thinking production from the likes of Komenz (Shakka, Goldlink, Melvillous), Alex E (Labrinth, Hamzaa, Blinkie), Tytanium (Joeboy, Moelogo) and GKiD (Guvna B). Meanwhile, the album’s stellar guest list, from gospel legend Erica Campbell and Maverick City Music alum Joe L Barnes to fellow MOBO Award winner CalledOut Music and rising star Marizu, help to amplify Faith’s uplifting anthems, reflective confessionals, and his overarching message of hope. Described by Faith Child as companion and catalyst, music for the valleys and victories, When Faith Feels Fear is a project unafraid of the dark, anchored in the light, driven by hope, and determined to leave listeners stronger than it found them.
