A Soulful Invocation of Unity, Spirit, and Song
From the streets of Paris to the soul of America, John “JB” Meldrum continues to bridge cultures, genres, and generations through his music. With his newest release, “Yahweh”, from the Peace Oratorio Soundtrack – Live, Meldrum offers more than a song — he delivers a spiritual experience rooted in reverence, resistance, and the belief in a higher, unifying force.
Performed live and captured with raw emotional power, “Yahweh” stands as one of the most impactful pieces within JB Meldrum’s Peace Oratorio — a large-scale musical work inspired by the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drawing from Gospel, High-Life, Reggae, and Classical traditions, the Peace Oratorio is an audacious, genre-crossing project that seeks to sonically embody King’s dream of non-violence and universal brotherhood.
“Yahweh” in particular rises as a moment of spiritual invocation — a call to the divine that is both intimate and expansive. Meldrum’s impassioned vocal delivery, poetic lyrics, and masterful guitar work blend seamlessly with the live ensemble’s warmth and dynamic range. The result is a transcendent, emotionally charged track that invites reflection and connection.
“Music isn’t just something to listen to,” says Meldrum, “it’s something to believe in. Something to build with.”
Known for his eclectic career — from the rock-forward debut No Rules Here to the West African rhythms of Ayijah with Zongo Ambassadors, and the emotionally rich Long Live Love — Meldrum has always pursued beauty beyond boundaries. With “Yahweh,” he’s not only honoring the past — he’s helping to shape a more soulful future.
Listen to “Yahweh” now on all streaming platforms.
