Unveiling the Scarlet Thread: Keith & Kristyn Getty’s Powerful New Single Weaves a Timeless Tapestry of Redemption
On July 26, GRAMMY-nominated and Dove award-winning duo Keith & Kristyn Getty will release their latest single, “Scarlet Thread,” a groundbreaking collaboration with multi-award-winning artist Zach Williams. This innovative song embarks on a new sonic journey, blending Williams’ distinctive gritty tones with the Gettys’ signature Irish and Roots-style music. The result is a powerful lyrical odyssey that masterfully intertwines millennia of Biblical imagery, where the color red symbolizes redemption and love.
Written by the Gettys, Michael Farren, and Tony Wood, “Scarlet Thread” is a masterpiece of modern hymn writing. The song’s production, helmed by GRAMMY and Dove-winning producer Bryan Fowler, extends the musical journey begun with the Gettys’ GRAMMY-nominated album Confession: Irish American Roots. Kristyn Getty shares, “We’ve had the joy of sharing ‘Scarlet Thread’ on tour for over a year, and now we’re thrilled to finally release the first recording, featuring the incredible Zach Williams.” The song follows the scarlet thread of grace throughout the Scriptures, inviting listeners into the epic drama of redemption.
“Scarlet Thread” will premiere at the Gettys’ annual Sing! Conference in Nashville, expected to draw over 6,500 attendees and 50,000 online viewers. The song’s theme resonates deeply with the event’s focus on “The Songs of the Bible.” As the Gettys embark on their Fall tour, featuring fellow hymn writers Matt Boswell and Matt Papa, “Scarlet Thread” will be a highlight of their performances, inspiring audiences across thirteen cities from Texas to Toronto.
