Music News: Warren Peay Releases Debut Single Today
WARREN PEAY RELEASES DEBUT SINGLE, “GIMME A HALLELUJAH”
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (JANUARY 23, 2026) Emerging artist Warren Peay releases his debut single, “Gimme a Hallelujah,” today with Integrity Music. An upbeat, energetic rally cry, the song invites listeners into a shared moment of praise. Listen to the song now.
“This song is really personal for me,” Warren Peay explains. “There are times when life feels heavy, when I’m run-down, tired, or just living on faith, without feeling like I have much left to give. This song reminds me to stop right in the middle of that and give praise to God anyway. More often than not, that praise alone is enough to shift my perspective and lift my spirit. I truly believe praise stirs revival, invites the power of heaven, and gives us a glimpse of God’s glory, even when the answers haven’t come yet.”
Hailing from a small town in South Carolina, Peay’s soulful voice has carried him from local church to national audiences. Known for his heartfelt storytelling, soul-stirring delivery, and humble authenticity, his music is rooted in a desire to glorify God and bring people together through praise.
Peay first gained widespread recognition as a Top 8 finalist on American Idol Season 21 (2023), captivating audiences with performances marked by emotional honesty and spiritual conviction. His momentum continued with a feature on Zach Williams’ “Sunday’s Comin’,” a collaboration that naturally aligned with his faith-forward sound. Whether performing on a festival stage or in a church sanctuary, Peay’s live shows are marked by warmth, joy, and an open invitation for everyone in the room to participate.
He plans to release more new music throughout the year, continuing to blend Christian, Country, and Southern Rock influences. “Gimme a Hallelujah” sets the tone for what’s ahead – music rooted in faith, honesty, and shared moments of praise.
