Christian band We Are Messengers has announced a powerful new release, unveiling their cover of "Where the Streets Have No Name," originally made famous by U2. The full version is set to arrive on Monday, April 27.
The track carries added emotional weight with the inclusion of the late Moya Brennan, best known as the iconic voice of Clannad. Her haunting and unmistakable vocals bring a profound depth to the reimagined classic. Beyond her work with Clannad, Brennan also built a significant body of Christian and worship music, further cementing her legacy as an artist whose work consistently reflected themes of faith, spirituality, and transcendence.
Her recent passing has made the collaboration especially poignant, turning the release into a tribute that honors both her artistic legacy and her enduring faith. For many listeners, Brennan's voice has long been synonymous with a unique blend of Celtic soundscapes and spiritual depth, making this one of her most meaningful late-career appearances.
Sharing the news, the band described the song as one of their all-time favorites, expressing both excitement and reverence in taking on such an iconic piece. The collaboration with Brennan stands as a deeply meaningful moment, especially in light of her passing, with the band honoring her faith and legacy.
"Moya loved Jesus and now she is with Him," the group shared, reflecting on the spiritual significance behind both the collaboration and the release.
Originally released by U2, "Where the Streets Have No Name" has long been celebrated for its soaring sound and vision of a world beyond division. In the hands of We Are Messengers, the song is reintroduced through a worshipful lens, pointing listeners toward a deeper sense of eternity and unity found in Christ.
The upcoming release not only pays tribute to a timeless anthem but also serves as a heartfelt celebration of Brennan's enduring influence and faith-filled artistry.
The full track will be available on all major streaming platforms on April 27.
