NASHVILLE, Tenn. / LONDON, England - British singer-songwriter and worship leader Elle Limebear has signed with Decca Records, making history as the iconic label's first contemporary Christian artist. The announcement coincides with the release of her new single, "Give Me Joy," now available on digital streaming platforms.
The milestone partnership follows the success of Limebear's independently released album, Welcome to the Bloodline, which drew the attention of Decca's A&R team. Known for its rich legacy in classical, sacred, and choral music dating back to 1929, Decca's decision to sign Limebear reflects the growing influence of contemporary Christian music on the global stage.
Expressing her excitement about the new chapter, Limebear described joining Decca as a tremendous honor, saying the opportunity to work with one of the United Kingdom's most respected record labels will help bring songs of faith to an even wider audience.
Her debut release with the label, "Give Me Joy," reimagines the beloved British hymn "Oil in My Lamp" with fresh melodies and new lyrics while preserving its timeless message of enduring joy found in Christ. The song first gained momentum during Limebear's performances at the Satellites Festival, where enthusiastic responses from thousands of young worshippers convinced her it deserved a wider release.
Based in Brighton, England, Limebear has become one of the UK's leading Christian artists, amassing more than 150 million global streams and leading worship across five continents. Her career includes a No. 1 song on the Billboard Christian Airplay chart, a GMA Dove Award nomination, multiple Step FWD Awards, and appearances on major BBC programs. With her new partnership at Decca Records, Limebear begins a new season of ministry aimed at reaching an even broader audience through faith-filled music.
