Niki Lou Savich Drops Second Single From Upcoming Album
Niki Lou Savich continues her poetic journey through faith, suffering, and redemption with the August 1 release of her latest single, "God Wearing Skin," available everywhere from NRT Music. The song is the second release from her upcoming sophomore album, due in early 2026, once again produced by the acclaimed Gordon Mote.
Opening with the haunting simplicity of a lone banjo, "God Wearing Skin" immediately draws listeners into an intimate and honest reflection on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As the narrative unfolds, layers of instrumentation and rich harmonies build a sonic landscape that mirrors the emotional and spiritual weight of the story being told. With lyrics like "Crowned by thorns, struck by hands... Walked that road just like a Lamb," Niki Lou paints a vivid picture of divine love expressed in the most human way.
"God Wearing Skin" is another striking example of Niki Lou's unique ability to fuse Appalachian, Americana, and folk influences with sacred themes and raw storytelling. Born in Poplarville, MS, and now based in Nashville, TN, Niki Lou's music is rooted in personal experience-most notably her time caring for elderly family members. That season birthed her debut album Million Tears (2024), which introduced her as a deeply empathetic voice in faith-based music.
Now, with "God Wearing Skin," she continues to craft songs that not only move hearts but point listeners toward the greater narrative of redemption. As her new album rolls out through 2026, fans can expect more of the same honesty, beauty, and soul-deep lyricism that have become her signature.
