Swedish Christian group LIN D have teamed up with Marizu for their new single, ‘Rise Up’ .

The song opens with the line, “All my people rise up, rise up, give Him glory,” and that already tells you where the song is going. It is joyful, it is bright, and it carries that simple call to give God glory.

LIN D bring their clean Christian pop sound into the song, while Marizu adds his own Afrogospel flavour, giving the record a nice blend. It does not feel forced at all. Both sounds sit well together, and that is what makes the collaboration beautiful.

One of the strong moments from Marizu’s part is the line, “Rise up from the ashes, Father is calling you, He fashioned you for the good works to give Him the glory.” That line gives the song more depth because it is not just about dancing or feeling good. It also reminds the listener that God is calling us into purpose.

There is something very encouraging about the message of the song. It speaks to anyone who needs to get up again, anyone who needs to be reminded that their life still carries purpose, and anyone who needs that push to keep giving God glory no matter the season.

‘Rise Up’ is also another beautiful example of how Christian music is crossing borders. LIN D bring their Swedish Christian pop sound, Marizu brings that Afrogospel touch, and together they create something that feels fresh, simple and full of life.

‘Rise Up’ by LIN D and Marizu is available now on all major streaming platforms.
