The worlds of worship and artificial intelligence are converging in remarkable new ways, and at the center of this revolution stands Xania Monet, the world's first AI-powered gospel artist. With her breakout single "Let Go, Let God," Monet is redefining what it means to create-and experience-music rooted in faith.
Created by poet and lyricist Telisha "Nikki" Jones, Xania Monet is more than a digital persona; she represents a bold new frontier where technology amplifies timeless messages of hope, redemption, and divine trust. Using the Suno AI platform, Jones crafted Xania's emotive voice and soundscapes, fusing machine precision with deeply human spiritual intent. The result is a moving track that captures the heart of the gospel message while sounding unlike anything the genre has heard before.
"AI is simply another instrument in the Creator's hands," says Jones. "When I wrote 'Let Go, Let God,' I wanted the song to speak to anyone who's struggling to surrender. Technology helped carry that message further than I could have imagined."
The single's release has stirred conversation across both faith and tech circles. Signed to Hallwood Media in a multimillion-dollar deal, Xania Monet has broken barriers-her music charting on R&B and inspirational charts while sparking headlines in Billboard, Ebony, and Consequence. For some, she represents a future where digital tools expand the creative reach of worship. For others, her rise raises vital questions: Can a machine truly minister? What happens when algorithms sing about grace?
Gospel music has always embraced innovation-from radio and vinyl to streaming and virtual choirs-and Xania Monet continues that legacy. Her sound may be synthesized, but her message remains profoundly human: trust God, let go, and believe.
As AI technology becomes increasingly woven into creative industries, "Let Go, Let God" stands as a landmark moment for faith-based art. It shows that while the medium may change, the mission-to uplift, inspire, and point hearts toward the divine-remains unchanged.
"Let Go, Let God" is available now on all major streaming platforms.
