bodie releases his first single, 'RIP,' accompanied by music video

‘RIP’ will be featured on his EP, slated for later this year 

Press Release

Following the recent announcement of signing bodie to its label family, Provident Entertainment is thrilled to release the season 22 "The Voice" finalist's first original song today, "RIP." Listen here to the song.

"RIP" is the first single from bodie's EP slated to release later this year. Cowriting the song with Sajan Nauriyal and Nick Bays, it follows his rendition of Brandon Lake's hit "Gratitude" (listen here), which dropped last month and was the song bodie performed during the season finale of "The Voice." 

With "RIP," bodie explained, "I wanted to write a song that celebrated the decision and miracle of dying to one’s fleshly nature (Galatians 5:24), and living as a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). The lyrics are pretty straightforward and aggressive to really drive home the message that experiencing a deep relationship with Christ comes at the cost of consistently leaving your old life behind and denying your flesh daily. I’m so excited for you to hear my new song, 'RIP,' and I also hope it inspires you and makes you headbang in your Prius."
