MOBO Award winner and chart-topping Christian rapper Faith Child returns with his powerful third studio album, ‘When Faith Feels Far‘. With a career rooted in high-energy performances and bold declarations of faith, this new project takes a more vulnerable turn, inviting listeners into the raw and reflective spaces of doubt, loss, and renewal.
Anchored by the Official UK Christian and Gospel #1 single ‘Oluwa Is Involved’ and the Erica Campbell-assisted ‘Wildfire’, the album is deeply personal. Faith Child navigates the tension between belief and uncertainty, especially in the wake of his father’s passing. Each of the 15 tracks reveals layers of emotional honesty, spiritual confrontation, and persistent hope.
“It’s a faith record for real life – vulnerable, unpretentious, and laser-focused on the hope and light that remains,” the press release states, and this tone echoes throughout the project. On ‘Good Mourning’, he reflects on the reality of praying for healing while preparing for farewell, while ‘Unbelief’ draws from Mark 9 to express faith under duress. Tracks like ‘Church Hurt’ and ‘A Million Miles’ express empathy for those disillusioned by faith communities, offering apology and healing. 
There’s also a strong message of restoration and empowerment. From ‘Stereotype’ and ‘Older’ which take on prejudice and violence, to the bright energy of ‘Holy Place’, ‘Flexodus’, and ‘Cardio’, the album balances confessional storytelling with anthemic hope.
The sonic range is equally dynamic. Produced by a team that includes Komenz, Alex E, Tytanium, and GKiD, the album blends rap, gospel, afrofusion, electronica, and pop with ease. Notable collaborations include Erica Campbell, Joe L Barnes, CalledOut Music, and Marizu, each contributing to the album’s heartfelt mission.
Described by Faith Child as “companion and catalyst, music for the valleys and victories”, When Faith Feels Far stands as a fearless declaration of spiritual resilience.
