Both "Lion of Judah," which was recorded live at this year's Planetboom Conference, and "One and Only," a studio track with select parts recorded live at Boom Camp in Melbourne, Australia, were produced by creative director Josh Ham. Ham also co-wrote the songs with fellow planetboom worship leaders, collaborating with Noah Walker on "Lion of Judah" and Aimee Walker on "One and Only."
"Jesus is our victory!" exclaims Andy Harrison, planetboom youth pastor, songwriter, author, and drummer. "In light of all the issues and challenges that young people face today, we need a declaration that Jesus is that Lion of the tribe of Judah and He has never lost a battle. Not only that, but He makes us victorious in Him. This song is an invitation to young people everywhere to be a part of His winning team, marching on to victory!"
The new single follows planetboom's release of "Out With The Old," which was recorded and filmed live at Boom Camp, and the band's acclaimed You, Me, The Church, That's Us album that captures the group's unique and eclectic sonic identity. The dynamic recordings range from big, broad statements about the church family to intimate, personal moments between individuals and God.
Earlier this year, the band also launched Vol. 2 of its Youth Group Foyer Vibes resources, designed to carry the energy and excitement of pre-church-service anticipation with a relatable sound while setting an atmosphere of spiritual breakthrough and expectation.
