Naomi Raine (formerly of Maverick City) releases Portuguese version of “Be Glad” featuring Sued Silva; recording took place in New York

The Christian music scene celebrates a release with global reach. Naomi Raine, the Grammy-winning American singer and former member of the acclaimed collective Maverick City Music, presents the Portuguese version of “Be Glad” in an unprecedented collaboration with Brazilian artist Sued Silva.

The recording was completed in New York City, marking an important moment in Naomi’s journey. As she steps into a defining new phase of her solo career, the project reflects her intention to broaden her creative vision and connect with different cultures. Choosing New York reinforces the international nature of the release and represents a meeting point for diverse expressions of faith through music.

Joining Naomi’s powerful vocals is Sued Silva, one of the most searched names on Google in 2025 and one of the leading emerging voices in Brazilian gospel music. Sued adds emotional depth and her unique artistic identity to the song, delivering a Brazilian interpretation filled with authenticity and sensitivity.

The Portuguese version of “Be Glad” maintains the spiritual strength of the original composition, now enriched with vocal nuances that bring the message closer to Portuguese-speaking audiences. This collaboration represents an important milestone for both artists, strengthening the connection between international gospel music and Brazil’s dynamic Christian music scene.

The release will be available on all major streaming platforms on December 9, along with exclusive visual content that captures this remarkable artistic encounter.
