Rebecca Anderson’s “In the Beginning” is a serene spiritual revelation wrapped in velvet. From the very first shimmer of its cinematic opening, this track is meant to be felt. With lush, writhing strings and a subtle, ghostlike ambiance, the soundscape envelops you like a quiet morning prayer, gentle, introspective, and deeply soul-stirring. Then enters Anderson’s voice: thick, sultry, and controlled, gliding across the instrumental like honey dripping over glass.
There’s something holy yet human in the way she delivers her lines, soft, sensual, but full of this grounded, calm power that speaks of a faith hard-won and deeply lived. The refrain, “he never changed,” hits. You don’t even have to be religious to feel the magnitude of that moment. It’s personal testimony turned universal balm.
The production is sleek but not over-polished, think warm R&B textures laced with atmospheric soul. The beat breathes in time with her, rising only to lift the chorus into the clouds. Ethereal backing vocals glide around her like angels humming in harmony. And just when you think it might settle into something too serene, the string section tugs at your heart with its melancholic undercurrent, reminding you this is a process of healing and becoming.
“In the Beginning” is here to minister. Whether you’re in a moment of joy or clinging to your last thread of hope, Rebecca Anderson’s offering feels like it was made for you. Listen to it on Spotify.
