Manchester based artist ‘Zion’, releases debut single ‘Amen’ and says that the song is therapy to him following his battle with mental health.
‘Amen’ is a song of driving rhymes and almost hypnotic melodies. It’s simplicity makes it accessible to all with its open-air-festival feel. Inspired by the likes of Mumford & Sons and Kings of Leon, Zion says ‘Amen’ is a declaration of the Lords will and his glory.
“ ‘Amen’ gives me joy! It’s therapy to me.”
In 2012, during his 2nd year of Uni, Zion started to struggle with feelings of depression and suffered from anxiety attacks which increased as he started failing his course and felt his furthest away from God.
“Some of my songs are a cry to God to pull me out of the depressed space I was in and from feeling like I wasn’t in a good place with God.”
Excitement has already set in since the release of ‘Amen’. It’s just not what you would expect, but when you hear it you’ll get it.Available on Itunes, Spotify, Google Play and Amazon Music.
