Breakthrough Worship on the release of Call Upon the Name (Volume 2)
Breakthrough Worship ZA has officially announced the release of their highly anticipated new project, Call Upon the Name (Volume 2), the latest installment in their growing catalogue of spirit-filled, unity-driven worship music.
Following the impactful release of Call Upon the Name (Volume 1), this new volume continues the collective’s mission to inspire believers to call on the name of Jesus as one unified Body of Christ. With 10 powerful tracks, Volume 2 deepens the group’s commitment to breaking down barriers of race, culture, and class within the global church through worship.
At the heart of the project is a clear and compelling message: unity in Christ. Breakthrough Worship intentionally brings together diverse voices, cultures, and languages to reflect the fullness of the Kingdom of God. This vision aligns with a broader movement within contemporary gospel music, where multicultural worship expressions are increasingly shaping the sound of the global church.
Building on the foundation laid by their earlier work, Volume 2 showcases a heightened level of intentionality in its musical and cultural diversity. The project draws from a wide range of influences, creating a rich, layered sound that resonates with audiences across different backgrounds.
The recording process remained collaborative at its core. Artists contributed original songs, while a central producer guided the musical direction to ensure cohesion. Recording teams were carefully assembled for each track, allowing for both creative freedom and unified excellence.
The title track, Call Upon the Name, continues to stand as a defining anthem for the movement—capturing the essence of communal worship and spiritual surrender. Through shared experiences and collaboration, the album reflects the authentic voices of its contributors, each bringing unique perspectives that strengthen the collective sound.
“What makes this project unique is that it is more than music—it is a movement,” the group shares. “We are committed to demonstrating unity across cultures and races, showing what it means to worship together as one.”
The journey from their first live recordings to this latest release has helped solidify Breakthrough Worship’s identity as a unifying force in gospel music. While the process presented challenges—including an abundance of song submissions—the team embraced the opportunity, with additional material set aside for future releases.
Beyond the music, the group hopes this album will serve as a practical tool for unity.
“In a world often marked by division, Call Upon the Name (Volume 2) offers a sound of reconciliation, hope, and collective worship.”
“Authenticity remains central to our group’s approach. Each member prioritizes their personal spiritual walk, ensuring the music remains grounded in genuine faith. This commitment is strengthened through mutual encouragement and accountability within the collective.”
Founded in 2022, Breakthrough Worship emerged as a vibrant and dynamic Christian music movement, born from a powerful live recording at the Heartfelt Arena in Pretoria, featuring Bulelani Ndebele and Ntlantla Swana. What started as a moment has since grown into a movement marked by unity, passion, and a distinct sound of worship.
Looking ahead, audiences can expect powerful live worship experiences that create space for deep encounters with God while celebrating cultural diversity. Breakthrough Worship ZA envisions future releases that will continue to galvanize unity and break down barriers, inviting believers everywhere to worship freely and together.
