Voices of Fire performed at Grace for the World on September 13, 2025, at St. Peter’s Square, bringing their stirring harmonies and spiritual resonance to the Vatican stage. They are one of the most inspiring voices in contemporary gospel music, and their participation was one of the highlights of the event.
Their upbeat and uplifting performances of THE ONE FEAT. PHARRELL WILLIAMS, ANYWHERE, and MIRACLE WORKER from their new album added another dimension to the already star-studded lineup, which also featured performances from Andrea Bocelli, John Legend, Clipse, Jennifer Hudson and Karol G.
The timing couldn’t have been better as OPHANIM dropped just last week, opening a new chapter for the choir.
Voices of Fire: Their Roots And Rise
The gospel group was formed through the same-titled Netflix documentary, where Pharrell Williams, along with his uncle Bishop Ezekiel Williams, sought talent in an attempt to form a world-class gospel choir. Set in Pharrell’s hometown of Hampton Roads, Virginia, the show brought together people of all ages and backgrounds.
Voices of Fire quickly rose to fame thanks to their collaboration with the Virginian music producer in “JOY (Unspeakable)”, where their voices blended with Pharrell’s production in a gospel-pop fusion.
Beyond music, fashionistas might have caught the talented choir at Pharrell Williams’ first menswear show as creative director in 2023 or at this year’s Paris Fashion Week for Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2026 show. Merging style and spiritual sound, Voices of Fire were catapulted onto the international stage.
OPHANIM release
Their 13-track album has just been released, deepening their collaborative spirit. Besides the previously teased song “Miracle Worker”, OPHANIM also includes soon-to-be hits with ‘Grace for the World’ performers, such as “The One” with Pharrell Williams, “Business” ft. John Legend, and “Won’t He Do It?” with Teddy Swims.
Other notable artists featured in their songs are CeeLo Green & Quavo and Zacardi Cortez.
Distributed by Warner Records, OPHANIM is available for digital download on the Voices of Fire website, along with a limited-edition vinyl boasting specially-designed cover art for each song.
