NASHVILLE, Tenn. / SAN JOSE, Calif. (MAY 8, 2026) Worship collective Red Worship releases their new single, “Testify (Smell Like Smoke),” the first track from their forthcoming album, which will be released later this year. Recorded live at their home church in February, the project captures the group’s signature, spirit-led sound. Listen now to "Testify (Smell Like Smoke)."
Today's new song is already gaining traction, amassing more than 300K views, 23K likes, and over 10K shares across social platforms ahead of release.
“The heart of this song is celebrating the stories about how God has brought us through trials and victories," shares the Red Worship team. "We hope that it can encourage people to praise God for everything he’s done, believing that he’ll do greater in the future!”
The release follows Red Worship’s 2025 album Presence People, which earned a GMA Dove Award nomination for Gospel Worship Album of the Year. Since then, the group has experienced rapid growth across digital and streaming platforms. Led by a collective of prominent worship voices, including Lizzie Morgan, Andrew Maldonado, Jonathan Traylor, Jonathan Stamper, and Trinity Anderson, Red Worship continues to expand its influence.
Following their first headline tour this spring, the group will join CeCe Winans this October on the “COME WORSHIP! Tour,” alongside Charity Gayle and Terrian. For tickets and tour dates, visit redworshiptour.com.
