Rob Westall’s powerful new single ‘Show Us Your Glory’ to be released on Pentecost weekend

Rob Westall’s brand new single ‘Show us Your Glory’ is out on Friday 26th May on all music streaming platforms.

The worship leader and recording artist, based in Wales, UK, co-produced the track with Welsh Bafta-nominated producer Gary White.

It is the first of four digital singles to be released this year from Westall’s 1,000 Voices album which will also be available digitally in September on digital streaming sites such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon and Deezer etc.

Featuring powerful guitar hooks, massive drums and stirring string arrangements, ‘Show us Your Glory,’ which was partly inspired by the Lord’s prayer, has deliberately been released in time to mark Pentecost.

Also called Whitsun, Pentecost is a period in the Christian calendar, which commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks, as described in the Bible in the book of Acts.

“Given the lyrics of the chorus – “Holy Spirit, let your glory fall,” it seemed appropriate to release the song on the weekend most churches mark Pentecost,” said Rob.

“The song essentially is a prayer of repentance, acknowledging our need for a saviour, crying out for Him to show us His reality especially as we reflect on where we are and the state of things around us.

“Last year we saw many people decide to follow Jesus at our events and the song really connected with those who attended the events we were a part of.

“We pray it will bless all who hear it as it’s released and on tour as we prepare to head out on the road again next month (June).”

A new music video shot on the Isle of Wight for the single will also be out next month (June).

Released via Rob’s sub-publishers Song Solutions, ‘Show us Your glory’ is available on all the usual digital music streaming sites, such as Spotify and Apple Music.

On this Electronic Press Kit (EPK) page you’ll find the track, lyrics, press release and all the relevant information you require such the ISRC code etc.

The Phantom of the Opera star’s new song of hope in the most challenging of times

The Phantom of the Opera star Katy Treharne (Pictured) duets with Rob Westall on their latest single ‘I will trust in you’.

The Welsh musical theatre star, played the lead role of Christine Daaé in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty’s Theatre London for many years. She delivers a stunning vocal performance in this powerful song for our time, which was written by fellow Welsh recording artist Rob Westall at the height of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Inspired by Psalm 46, the single is a faith-affirming anthem which reminds us that God is with us even when, ‘all we come to know, fades and melts like snow.’

The stirring string arrangements, orchestration and guitar tones, combine with the duo’s heavenly harmonies to reach a crescendo of all out praise, to help the listener focus on the assurance of their faith in action and not the fear that may have surrounded them beforehand.

The song’s powerful message of trust in the face of fear is poignant as Rob and Katy both lost all their bookings and gigs as the Coronavirus pandemic hit. Yet their faith provided inspiration and hope for the future despite the most trying of circumstances.

Katy was about to go on tour with the West End Has Faith group she co-founded, which supports Christians working in musical theatre and performing arts. And her former show - The Phantom of the Opera - one of the West End’s major attractions for more than 30 years, was forced to shut down permanently along with its nationwide tour in July.

“People would say this show (The Phantom of the Opera) would run forever,” she said, “but little did anyone know that something like Covid would come along and the whole theatre industry grinned to a halt.

“Things changed for us, literally overnight. The day before we were meant to fly to Ireland for some West End Has Faith shows, they were all cancelled as Covid cases rose.

“This year for me has been a real eye opener of an experience. Everything’s been stripped away. My diary was empty and I’ve had to trust in God even more.

“Even though people are starting to work towards dates in the summer, we can’t plan with any real certainty for the moment.

“That’s why this song struck a chord with me and I wanted to be involved.

“It is so powerful. The words, music, melody and production all combine wonderfully and I can’t wait for people to hear it.”

I will trust in you is the third single to be released from the 1,000 Voices album, following on from ‘Never let me go’ (UK Christian Chart number 1) and ‘Jesus Rock on Which I Stand.’ It is available from all the regular streaming sites and to download and keep forever from Rob Westall’s website: www.robwestall.com/merch

Though the whole Earth shakes

Trembles, turns to dust, I will trust

Holy, Holy, 

Holy are you Lord God Almighty

I will trust in you, 

I will trust in you
