Since he was a kid, Kings Blood has dreamed of writing God a love letter, and “Thanks God” is that dream realized. The multilingual artist from Bree, Belgium, released the single on October 2nd to celebrate life, ancestry, and divine timing, saying it acknowledges how God secured his bloodline through his ancestors so he can exist now. Musically, he blends a modern gospel melody with a hip-hop flow and a smooth R&B and neo-soul feel. The song moves through the realities of everyday life while keeping an unwavering focus on faith, and he says its core message is hope. He calls the track euphoric and uplifting, and describes getting to share it with the world as an absolute dream come true.
This song, like so many of the genre, is the purest form of positive energy through which one can express gratitude towards the creator of everything that makes everything possible. Every element of this song conveys that, especially the rhythm and how delightful it is. The drums and staccato instruments create a palpable energy that is so grand and wholesome it is the perfect match for the song’s message.
The song, he says, was born from a heart full of gratitude. Kings Blood describes himself as an emerging artist bridging Christian hip-hop, gospel, and R&B, with a mission to spread positive vibes, spiritual awareness, and gratitude. He pitches the single for gospel, Christian hip-hop, Christian R&B, and daily motivation playlists, which sound like natural homes for something this openly thankful. For listeners looking to start the day on a hopeful note, “Thanks God” gives them a reason to, and it is available on major streaming platforms including Spotify and Apple Music.
