Los Angeles-based artist Rebecca Anderson casts a dreamy, soulful entrancement on new single “In the Beginning” — resonating in its themes of spiritual connectivity. The track arose in the fall of 2024, when Anderson spent two months in solitude, with a dedication to prayer, meditation, and seeking divine inspiration. The artist describes the release as “a message of eternal love and faithfulness,” noting that the melodies and lyrics “came to me at a that time as an answer to my prayer asking God to show me who He is, not who people say He is, not who religion says He is.” A variety of music resulted from this spiritual and creative process, with “In the Beginning” being the newest output from Anderson.
A cinematic-like spell takes hold from the get-go, as mystique-filled strings, lush keys, and haunting vocals establish an “in the beginning,” setting — exemplary of the track’s spiritual power. “My faith in you,” the mesmerizing vocal layers continue as a trip-hop rhythmic component eases. “You remain the same, you will never change,” a soulful vocal immersion follows, referring to the “alpha omega,” and higher power with an adoration for its consistent source of guidance and light. “I’ve never been the same, since I put my faith in Jesus…” furthers that embrace of spirituality, presenting throughout within an intoxicating melding of dream-pop and soul.
