Jonathan McReynolds, Jamal Roberts release new single, “Still” a gospel ballad of soul and humility

Jonathan McReynolds, a gospel singer and songwriter honored with GRAMMY, Dove, and Stellar Awards, teams up with Jamal Roberts, winner of American Idol Season 23, to present their latest collaboration, “Still.”

Blending gospel worship with a hint of country, “Still” is a deeply emotional ballad underscored by McReynolds’ passionate guitar work. Captured live in Chicago, the song radiates authentic energy—intimate, raw, and profoundly moving. More than a simple worship tune, it invites listeners on a reflective journey intertwining faith, emotion, and genuine sincerity.

Together, McReynolds and Roberts encourage us to revisit difficult moments from our past—the mistakes we’ve made, the hardships life throws at us—and remind us that regardless of our flaws or poor choices, God’s love remains unwavering.

The message centers on God as the sole unfailing, constant, and sufficient presence in an ever-changing world.

“Still” evokes feelings of humility, gratitude, and an understanding that God’s grace is not something earned but freely granted.

In a time when the world feels chaotic and many are suffering or filled with anger, this song offers hope: God is still present, still loving.

As the lyrics say, “And He sees all the things/I don’t want to be seen/And he hears every whisper/As if they were screams/And He still/He still/ Loves me.”

McReynolds delivers the verses with a blend of confident humility and heartfelt gratitude evident in his voice, while Roberts responds with a powerful, soulful tone, reinforcing the song’s themes. Their combined voices recreate the uplifting atmosphere of a church service—imagine fans waving, hands clapping, and people fully immersed in worship.

When their voices merge, the sincerity is palpable, conveying genuine emotion that resonates deeply—if this song doesn’t move you, perhaps it’s time to check your pulse.

Their vocal styles complement each other perfectly; it’s not a contest but a harmonious sharing of brilliance.

No matter what struggles or feelings of inadequacy you face, listening to this track will inspire thankfulness, even amid hardship.

The pair showcased “Still” live during the 40th Annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards, which aired on BET on August 31.
