Elements Of Life is Louie Vega’s long-running, globe-touring live-band project that fuses house grooves with Latin, jazz, gospel, soul and Afro influences, all performed by some of the greatest singers and live musicians in the scene. They have a new album slated for February
2027, and the new single ‘Soar’ offers a powerful glimpse of what to expect: a celebration of musical excellence, spiritual connection, and the enduring power of song to lift us higher.
Multi-Grammy Award-winning bassist Christian McBride anchors the composition with his masterful upright bass work, while Josh Milan’s lush keyboards, piano, organ, clavinet, and atmospheric textures provide the song’s harmonic foundation. Live drums from Tony Cintron and vibrant percussion from Luisito Quintero infuse the track with an irresistible pulse, while Ivan Renta’s expressive soprano saxophone solo adds another layer of emotional richness, with background vocals from Grammy and Oscar winner Lisa Fischer, plus Dawn Tallman, Ramona Dunlap and Lea Lorien.
Built on a rich tapestry of live musicianship, ‘Soar’ embodies the signature sound that has made Elements Of Life a beloved musical movement and live band performing around the world. At its core is Lisa Fischer’s breathtaking vocal performance, delivering a message of hope, elevation, and self-discovery with the emotional depth and conviction that have made her one of the most revered voices of her generation. She offers a message of encouragement, resilience and unconditional support through uplifting lyrics and soaring melody in a song that speaks to anyone navigating life’s uncertainties.
Lines such as “Clouds hang low, but the sky’s still wide” acknowledge the challenges we all face, while the recurring refrain, “I just want you to soar,” serves as a powerful affirmation of faith in another person’s journey. Equally moving is the song’s central sentiment, “The more you do for you, the better I feel,” expressing a selfless form of love that celebrates growth, healing, and personal fulfilment. Universal in its message yet deeply personal in its spirit, “Soar” reminds us that one of the greatest gifts we can offer is the encouragement to rise, evolve, and embrace our own potential.
Elements Of Life’s ‘Soar’ Featuring Lisa Fischer comes on vinyl and digital via Vega Records on 25th September 2026.
