(London, UK) — October 7, 2025 — The power of gospel and the majesty of orchestral music unite in a historic new collaboration as the world-renowned London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) partners with Platoon to release SHOUT FOR JOY. This unprecedented new album brings gospel music together with an orchestra in a way never heard before — lifting hearts, stirring souls, and sharing communal joy through music. The albums lead singles “Hallelujah, You’re Worthy” featuring Lurine Cato MBE and “Gloria” featuring Evvie McKinney are available now; with the full project releasing Friday, November 7th.

SHOUT FOR JOY reimagines gospel classics and contemporary compositions with symphonic textures, creating a vibrant sound world that celebrates joy, hope, and unity. The project highlights the spiritual resonance and cultural richness of gospel music while showcasing the versatility of the London Symphony Orchestra. This bold new album takes gospel to the next level, uniting its unrestrained passion with the majestic sweep of the symphony orchestra. Dr. André J. Thomas leads an electrifying line-up: MOBO Award-winner Lurine Cato, Memphis powerhouse Evvie McKinney, acclaimed pianist Brandon A. Boyd, and the full-force of the Soul Sanctuary Gospel Choir.

Recorded at the LSO’s own venue, the beautifully restored LSO St Luke’s, and produced by multi-Grammy-winner Jonathan Allen, the album soars from the jubilant energy of “Hallelujah, You’re Worthy” and “Sign Me Up” to the heartfelt devotion of “Total Praise” and “It’s Working”.

“This album is a true meeting of worlds,” shares André J. Thomas, conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra. “By combining the emotional depth of gospel with the timeless beauty of classical music, we’ve created something that speaks to the heart and spirit of every listener.”

“We wanted to honor gospel’s roots while introducing it to new audiences in a fresh, symphonic way. This album is about joy, hope, and the universal power of music to uplift,” shares A&R at Platoon Music, Kunmi Ogunsola.

About Platoon

The multi-award and GRAMMY® winning label Platoon was acquired by Apple in 2018. The boutique artist services company identifies groundbreaking talent from around the world, while providing invaluable and innovative tools and services to build their careers and reach new fans. Platoon landed its first success shortly after its inception when it signed the then-unknown Billie Eilish, laying the groundwork for her ascent to global stardom, alongside other household names such as Mr Eazi and Victoria Monét. Current signings include Saint Harison, RZA, Khaid, Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Dalia Stasevska, and more.

About the London Symphony Orchestra

The London Symphony Orchestra believes that extraordinary music should be available to everyone, everywhere – from orchestral fans in the concert hall to first-time listeners all over the world. The LSO was established in 1904 as one of the first orchestras shaped by its musicians. Since then, generations of remarkable talents have built the LSO’s reputation for quality, ambition and a commitment to sharing the joy of music with everyone. The LSO performs some 70 concerts every year as Resident Orchestra at the Barbican, with its family of artists: Chief Conductor Sir Antonio Pappano, Conductor Emeritus Sir Simon Rattle, Principal Guest Conductors Gianandrea Noseda and François-Xavier Roth, Conductor Laureate Michael Tilson Thomas, and Associate Artists Barbara Hannigan and André J Thomas. The LSO has major artistic residencies in Paris, Tokyo and at the Aix-en-Provence Festival, and a growing presence across Australasia.

Through LSO Discovery, the LSO’s learning and community programme, 60,000 people each year experience the transformative power of music. The Orchestra’s musicians are at the heart of this unique programme, leading workshops, mentoring bright young talent, and visiting schools, hospitals and community spaces. The home of much of this work is LSO St Luke’s, the LSO’s venue on Old Street. In 2025, following a programme of works, the LSO will open up the venue’s facilities to more people than ever before, with new state-of-the-art recording facilities and dedicated spaces for LSO Discovery.

The LSO’s record label LSO Live is a leader among orchestra-owned labels, bringing to life the excitement of a live performance in a catalogue of over 200 acclaimed recordings, and reaching millions through streaming services and online broadcasts. The LSO has been prolific in the studio since the infancy of orchestral recording and has made more recordings than any other orchestra – over 2,500 projects to date – across film, video games and bespoke audio collaborations.

Through inspiring music, learning programmes and digital innovations, the LSO’s reach extends far beyond the concert hall. And thanks to the generous support of The City of London Corporation, Arts Council England, corporate supporters, trusts and foundations, and individual donors, the LSO is able to continue sharing extraordinary music with as many people as possible, across London, and the world.
