Terrian Rewrites A Soul Classic for a Broken Generation In New Single “Jesus Is Love”
Terrian Rewrites A Soul Classic for a Broken Generation In New Single “Jesus Is Love.” At a time when the world feels loud, fractured, and exhausted, Terrian Woods has stepped forward with a release that sounds more like a quiet revival than a single. Yesterday, the acclaimed Gotee Records artist unveiled her moving cover of the Commodores’ 1980 classic “Jesus Is Love,” and the impact was immediate.
Terrian, celebrated for her gospel-pop gems like “Honestly, We Just Need Jesus” and her breakout project Give It Time, dropped the cover at midnight.
Her approach to the song is striking in its simplicity. Stripped of the original’s sweeping strings and warm bass groove, this version leans into intimacy. A lone piano, a gentle heartbeat of percussion, and Terrian’s resonant voice—supported by a small, living-room-sized choir—create an atmosphere that feels like a prayer whispered after a long battle. It’s tender. It’s hopeful. It’s honest.
“Jesus Is Love” is out everywhere. Listen once for the beauty. Twice for the comfort. And maybe a third time—because something about it feels needed right now.
