Judah & The Lion Find Beauty In The Little Moments On Anthemic New Single “Miracle”; New Album "I Am Prism" Out on August 14th (Dualtone Records)
Judah & The Lion have returned today with “Miracle”, an enthralling and uplifting new original that celebrates the notion that “life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you”, as the band’s Judah Akers describes it. Behind a swirl of synths, guitars and banjo - “Miracle” serves as a full-hearted embrace of the everyday moments we too-often take for granted. In that respect, it’s a triumphant and moving encapsulation of the themes that sit at the center of the duo’s upcoming album ‘I AM A PRISM’ (out August 14 on Dualtone), which finds them emerging on the other side of mental health struggles, heartbreak, addiction and grief - to celebrate their 15-year musical journey, the community they’ve built along the way and those little miracles that make life so meaningful.
“I think ‘Miracle’ is just a beautiful representation of the stage of life that both of us are in right now” says Judah & The Lion’s Brian Macdonald. “Especially with me having kids, miraculous is truly one of the only ways you can describe that feeling”.
“Some people think that a miracle has to be some big, dramatic event. But it's like, what if a miracle is waking up in the morning?” adds Akers. “What if the miracle is a cardinal showing up in your yard after your grandpa died? What if a miracle is the flowers growing? What if a miracle is being there for a buddy? It’s these types of small things. Especially with how negative the world is, let's think about the things that are beautiful.”
With over 900 million streams across platforms and a #1 radio hit with “Take It All Back”, Judah & The Lion have previously brought their “powerful personal messages” (Billboard) from Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Good Morning America across continents and back home again. On I AM A PRISM, Akers and Macdonald team with Grammy-nominated producer, songwriter and composer Jeremy Lutito (NEEDTOBREATHE, Michigander, Wilder Woods) and mixer Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Oasis) to bring that fan-favorite sound to new heights.
