5 Songs That Came Out In 2026 That Gen Z Are Loving - By Worship Leader Luke Wareham
Worship leader Luke Wareham shares his thoughts with Louder Than The Music on the songs that are inspiring and shaping the next generation of worshippers.
"One of my favourite moments leading worship this summer was at New Wine Luminosity in the summer with over 1,500 young people. We had late night worship throughout the week which was a space for encounters, prayer and prophecy. What we saw was the young people staying on to late night worship after the main celebrations. They didn’t go and do the other activities we had put on for them such as the café or silent discos but they wanted to stay on and worship Jesus, cry out to Him and to pray for each other. We saw so much freedom in the room and total surrender.
One night went on for another 2 hours after the main celebration and I have never experienced worship like it before. This generation coming up are a generation who are all in for Jesus and who want an authentic relationship with Him and I can’t wait to see what God does through them.
Here’s my list of songs released in 2026 that Gen Z are loving and that are definitely worth checking out!"
1. Give Me Joy - Elle Limebear
2. Amazing - Elevation Rhythm, Josiah Queen
3. How Could It Be - Gas Street Music
4. Thank God I’m Free - Elevation Rhythym, Lizzie Morgan
5. Alleluia - Elevation Worship, Chandler Moore
