Our obsession with Christopher Rodriguez seems to grow with every listen. We recently featured the talented artist for the haunting and thought-provoking exploration of faith and divine connection on Flesh & Spirit, so when we heard that Christopher Rodriguez was back with Declare It, we were couldn’t wait to listen and share our experience.
The track opens with atmospheric vocals, a cerebral frequency, percussion clicks and a captivating bassline before a Jpbeats producer tag leads us through to Christopher’s poetic prowess. Fans of Aesop Rock and Sage Francis will be able to connect with Christopher Rodriguez‘s flow and timbre, although the conscious level of what he is creating feels uniquely his own.
Speaking on the release, Christopher confesses, “The greatest contributor to Declare It is the Bible itself. Every word I wrote and every line I delivered came from the truth and power of God’s Word. The Bible guided me through my struggles and gave me the strength to speak victory over my life. This song isn’t just my story – it’s scripture coming alive through music. I leaned on verses that reminded me of faith, healing, and the authority we have when we declare God’s promises. Without the Bible, this song wouldn’t exist, because it is the foundation of my life, my ministry, and my music.”
The prophetic artist elaborates, “Declare It is rooted in the testing of faith and the tribulations that shaped me. I went through seasons where I felt crushed, wondering why certain things were happening, but the Bible reminded me that God’s ways are higher than ours. Just like Job, I learned that who are we to question God when He is the author of our story? This release came from surrendering my doubts and trusting His plan. Declare It is my reminder that trials have purpose, and that declaring His promises brings strength, healing, and unshakable faith in the storm.”
Recorded in his hometown of Pueblo, Colorado, Declare It carries a raw and authentic message: life’s challenges have purpose, and declaring God’s promises builds unshakable strength. This is a common thread with Christopher Rodriguez‘s wider discography, and his conscious nature is truly what makes him stand out as an artist. Christopher is a husband and father of five from Pueblo, and uniquely blends poetry with soulful melodies to create impactful and intentional music rooted in his life experiences that we as a collective need more of.
Christopher closes with his intention, “This song specifically serves as a ministry-driven project rooted in scripture, faith, and personal experience. The song reflects real-life trials, perseverance, and the power of declaring God’s Word, making it relatable to anyone facing challenges.”
We will be adding Declare It to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, when it lands on Spotify, in the meantime, we continue to stream the wider discography of Christopher Rodriguez on YouTube.
