Séhkou brings endurance and spiritual rebirth into focus with latest release “John 11:38-44 (Lazarus)”

Séhkou

“John 11:38–44 (Lazarus)” opens with a cool hi-hat, thick kick, bass and lush synths from Séhkou, providing an atmospheric base that’s grounded from the jump. This is a gritty hip hop song rooted in scripture about perseverance, change and being called out of seasons that felt like the end. The Lazarus connection gives the story a unique spiritual heart but the message still feels timely.

The song’s refrain is “He kept goin’… not knowin’…” and is the core of the song and the theme of perseverance and providence. Séhkou does not narrate the biblical story, but rather employs its themes as a way of talking about survival and spiritual rebirth. The production gives the record room to breathe and the female vocals in the background provide another layer to the arrangement.

The album has an emotional punch, with the soulful vocals of Jamila Thompson offset by the gritty hip-hop base. That’s the balance of rhythm and soulful vocal presence and subject matter rooted in scripture that gives “John 11:38-44 (Lazarus)” its character. “It’s a song about moving on even if you don’t know where you’re going.”

Carl Kammeyer turns personal appreciation into universal connection with “Only You”

Carl Kammeyer

The daily grind can make it easy to forget gratitude, especially when the people who support us don’t always seek recognition. That feeling grounds “Only You,” Carl Kammeyer’s indie R&B and alt-pop spin on appreciation, kindness, and the relationships that help shape who we are.

Kammeyer wrote and produced the song, inspired by personal introspection but reaching for something that many can relate to in their own lives. “Only You” is about recognizing those who believed in Kammeyer before he believed in himself. The song focuses on acts of kindness and gentle support that can have a profound impact. It’s a reminder that growth is rarely a solo effort, and those who stand beside us often deserve more credit than they get.

The intersection of these genres gives “Only You” a space for personal storytelling and accessible pop sensibilities to clash. Kammeyer’s choice to pen and produce the song himself also puts him at the center of its artistic direction. It came in a moment of contemplation, but its main point speaks to anyone who has ever been helped by another’s patience, belief, or generosity.

Kammeyer takes that connection and turns a personal nod into an invitation to acknowledge the people who matter in our worlds. “Only You” is an appreciation of Carl Kammeyer’s lane, and what sticks with you about the song is its tenderness toward people who are often overlooked and whose faith could be another’s self-assurance.
