Pharrell Williams and Voices of Fire have released the official music video for \u201cTHE ONE,\u201d the lead single from the choir\u2019s latest album, Ophanim<\/i><\/span>.<\/p>\n The track blends Voices of Fire\u2019s soaring gospel sound with Pharrell\u2019s signature production style, continuing a creative partnership that has helped bring the Virginia-based collective to audiences far beyond the church world. Founded by Bishop Ezekiel Williams \u2014 Pharrell\u2019s uncle \u2014 the choir first gained national attention through Netflix\u2019s Voices of Fire<\/i><\/span> and has since become one of the most recognizable names in contemporary gospel music.<\/p>\n For Williams, that vision has always been about more than the music itself. Speaking to RELEVANT for our 2020 cover story, he said the goal of Voices of Fire<\/i><\/span> was to capture something deeper.<\/p>\n \u201cI always said the number one thing that we needed to capture was the Spirit,\u201d Williams said. \u201cWe wanted people to see that. We wanted people to feel that and we wanted people to hear that.\u201d<\/p>\n While growing up in church, Williams learned from a young age that there is a unique power in joining together for worship.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you see a group of people singing, the power of the human voice is magnified,\u201d he said. \u201cIt does something to you.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch the new video for \u201cTHE ONE\u201d below.<\/p>\n
