Faith-based folk-pop singer/songwriter Kate Stanford is inspiring listeners with her latest single, Rise, a powerful song that speaks directly to the challenges of modern life. Written by Stanford alongside Adam Baha and Karin Simmons, and produced by Kevin Embleton, the track delivers a timely message of hope, peace, and unwavering faith.
Originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Stanford has been sharing her love for music and faith since childhood. After gaining early recognition with her debut EP Bloom and having her song “I’m a Believer” featured in Palau the Movie, she has continued to grow her presence in Christian music from her current home in Nashville.
Inspired by the emotional weight of constant news cycles, social media pressures, and cultural division, Rise encourages listeners to shift their focus from fear to God’s enduring promises. Through heartfelt lyrics and uplifting melodies, Stanford reminds audiences that even during difficult seasons, hope remains within reach.
The song’s memorable chorus emphasizes God’s faithfulness, comparing His promises to the certainty of a new sunrise. With its uplifting message and authentic storytelling, Rise serves as a comforting reminder that light, hope, and renewal are always possible through faith.
