NEW MUSIC
A standout moment arrives with their reinterpretation of“ Amazing Grace,” the hymn that has echoed through centuries of worship and suffering alike. Kings Kaleidoscope’ s take feels alive— respectful of the original’ s lyrical power yet refashioned with inventive instrumentation and dynamic arrangement that makes it feel simultaneously familiar and new. This track serves as a testament to the band’ s gift for honoring tradition without merely replicating it.
Other highlights include tracks like“ It Is Well” and“ Day By Day,” which show the band’ s adeptness at weaving lush strings, intimate vocals, and layered harmonies into a tapestry that feels both modern and reverent. These hymns, already rich with meaning, are given new life through thoughtful production that allows their lyrical depth to shine.“ Lamb of God” offers a similarly moving reimagining— its arrangement balancing reverence with a gentle sense of forward motion, inviting listeners to not just hear the words, but feel them.
What makes Asaph’ s Arrows II particularly engaging is how it feels like a conversation between past and present. There’ s a genuine sense that Kings Kaleidoscope isn’ t merely covering these songs; they are dialoguing with them. Each track feels intentionally crafted to connect with listeners who both love the hymns they grew up with and those discovering these texts for the first time through a new musical lens.
Overall, Asaph’ s Arrows II stands as a refreshing worship project from Kings Kaleidoscope, one that honors their roots and points toward where their creativity and devotion might lead next. Whether you’ re a longtime fan or new to their music, this project offers beauty, depth, and a renewed appreciation for the hymns that have shaped generations.

Released in December of‘ 25, this project showcases the best of what Maverick City Music does so well— creating music that feels both deeply personal and powerfully communal and accessible by a multi-generational audience.

The lyrics carry a message of hope and perseverance that resonates long after the track ends, making it a standout worship anthem that will be sung on Sundays for a long time.
“ Praise You Through It” offers a thoughtful shift in tone to a reflective piece that encourages gratitude and trust even amid life’ s trials. With Bear Bailey leading this lament-turned-praise, the track captures the honest tension of real life yet points upward with a musical subtlety that feels authentic rather than slick.
“ All That I Need” is another highlight, featuring rich harmonies and a simple yet profound proclamation of God’ s sufficiency. Short but impactful, it’ s the kind of song that lingers in your spirit, reminding you that in every season, God fulfills what we truly need.
The collaborative spirit that Maverick City Music is known for shines on“ Constant( feat. Chandler Moore)” and“ Diamond( I See the Glory).” The former bringing an energetic blend of voices that underscore God’ s unchanging nature, and the latter adding a celebratory sparkle with guest vocals from Mara Justine that feel both fresh and worshipful.
Closing with“ Lift Me Up,” the EP ends on a soaring note of surrender and dependence. Though shorter in length, this piece is packed with emotion and serves as a beautiful reminder of our need for God’ s lifting presence in every high and low.
Overall, Love Made a Way succeeds in delivering a collection of songs that feel like prayers put to music— vulnerable, hopeful, and rooted in truth. While it leans into the familiar sound that Maverick City Music has cultivated over the years, this EP also reveals new dimensions of their artistry through collaborations and lyrical depth. Whether you’ re listening in a quiet moment of reflection or leading others in worship, this project offers plenty of memorable and meaningful moments.
