Tommee Profitt, a well-known singer, songwriter, and record producer, has recently released a powerful album focused on the resurrection of Christ. Titled “The Resurrection of a King,” the album breathes new life into classic Easter hymns by reimagining them with fresh sounds and emotional intensity. Profitt explained that he wanted to take traditional songs about the cross and resurrection and give them a bold, modern facelift to reflect the significance of the resurrection event.
The album features 19 tracks, including beloved hymns such as “The Old Rugged Cross,” “Amazing Grace,” and “Just As I Am.” Several acclaimed Christian artists contributed their talents to the project, including CeCe Winans, Crowder, Jenn Johnson, Ben Fuller, Jeremy Rosado, and Jon Reddick. Profitt praised CeCe Winans in particular for bringing more than just vocal skill to the album; he described her performance as embodying “Holy Authority,” adding a profound spiritual presence to the music.
In addition to the album, Profitt partnered with K-Love to produce a two-hour documentary that offers viewers an inside look at the making of the project. The documentary includes interviews with artists, behind-the-scenes footage, and performances of the songs. Profitt envisioned the album as a cinematic soundtrack worthy of telling what he called “the most powerful story in history,” aiming for an epic musical style reminiscent of grand film scores.
Profitt shared that creating this album was an emotional journey. He imagined what it would sound like if one were present at the moment Christ walked out of the tomb, trying to capture that awe and wonder through music. His hope is that listeners will feel a deeper connection to God and experience something real and transformative through these songs. The project follows his previous Christmas album, “The Birth of a King,” continuing his exploration of major Christian themes through music.
Now available on all major streaming platforms, “The Resurrection of a King” invites listeners to celebrate Easter with renewed passion and energy. The accompanying documentary is accessible on K-LOVE On Demand, offering fans a comprehensive experience of the album’s message and artistry. Profitt’s work stands as a significant contribution to contemporary Christian music by reviving traditional hymns with contemporary production while maintaining their timeless spiritual impact.
