Hailing from the Elevation Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, ELEVATION RHYTHM is a multi-faceted expression of worship that provides a musical landscape for people — especially youth and young adults — to express their faith.
The group encapsulates the joy of worship and a relationship with Jesus in "Aquí Estoy," a new song that bandmate Brittany Diaz says is centered around the freedom and abundance of a life led in worship.
"'Aquí Estoy' is about the joy and freedom that comes with living life with Jesus," she explains to The Christian Beat. "A lot of the time we try to find pleasure in things or places that leave us feeling empty, but the Lord promises us an abundant and fruitful life with Him. This song is about that joy you feel after experiencing His love. You can't help but dance."
In this episode of Positive Vibes Only, ELEVATION RHYTHM offer a literal take on their sunshine-filled song with an acoustic parking lot performance. Set against a gently lilting beat and sprightly acoustic guitar, the song's bilingual message opens its arms to worshippers of all types, inviting them to join in the joyful world of the song.
ELEVATION RHYTHM's performance of "Aquí Estoy" is appropriately summer-ready, with a trio of musicians sitting in a parking lot as the sun shines down. Even in a setting so simple, it's clear that the bandmates are ready to celebrate and find joy wherever they go.
"Aquí Estoy" is the group's newest release, and first since their album Growing Pains, which they released in April. Press play on the video above to enjoy the upbeat performance, and check back to GRAMMY.com every Sunday for more episodes of Positive Vibes Only.
