Grammy-nominated artist and visionary songwriter Michael Gungor has released “I Am”, the lead single from his new album Magnificat. Known for pushing boundaries between the sacred and the absurd, Gungor delivers an energetic, soul-shaking track that invites listeners to embrace life fully — even in the shadow of death.
Driven by pulsing synths, gritty guitars, and a danceable beat, “I Am” blends infectious fun with existential depth. The song’s climactic bridge doesn’t shy away from ultimate truths: “Everyone is going to die. Don’t forget to be alive.” It’s an anthem that feels both playful and profound — the kind of song that makes you want to shake your body while reflecting on what really matters.
“I Am is about surrender,” Gungor explains. “It’s about letting go of fear, embracing the mystery, and going all the way into the absurd beauty of existence. To me, that’s where freedom lives.” Visually, the single ties into the themes of Magnificat, an album that reimagines spirituality as a marriage of the sacred with the sensual, the painful, and the wondrous. With “All In”, Gungor offers a taste of the album’s ecstatic, life- affirming vision.
