'Expectation,' the highly anticipated new single from Elias Dummer - Juno and GMA Canada Covenant Award-winning singer/songwriter and co-founder of The City Harmonic.

Penned by Dummer and Ben Cantelon (Kari Jobe, The Belonging Co) and co-produced by Brent Milligan (Colony House, David Crowder Band), 'Expectation' is the first release from Dummer’s upcoming full-length project, 'The Work Vol. II'.

Penned by Dummer and Ben Cantelon (Kari Jobe, The Belonging Co) and co-produced by Brent Milligan (Colony House, David Crowder Band), 'Expectation' is the first release from Dummer’s upcoming full-length project, 'The Work Vol. II'.

This song is a powerful, passionate, ballad anthem. The song takes all the qualities of Elias as songwriter, singer and musician and puts it onto a great new single. I have been a big fan of the work of the band City Harmonic and have followed the work of Elias closely since he started making solo music, and as an artist he seems to just be getting better and better.

This song has the anthemic feel in it's chorus which we kind of expect from Elias, but here is a man who is on a personal mission to tell the world how he feels. He says “I cannot shake this desire that burns deep in my heart to see and know the reign and rule of Jesus in my life and in the world". This comes over in his music from the moment you press play, it comes over in all his songs, but even more here. This is the first track from Elias for his upcoming new full-length project, 'The Work Vol. II' and it's the perfect way to start.

Elias Dummer co-founded and fronted one of Canada’s most acclaimed worship bands, The City Harmonic. As the group's principal songwriter, he helped pen such hits as 'Holy (Wedding Day),' 'Mountaintop' and 'Manifesto' Dummer released his solo debut, 'The Work Vol. I', in 2019 and was named Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the 2020 Covenant Awards. In addition, his debut single, 'Enough,' spent 26 weeks on Billboard’s Christian Airplay chart. With more than 65 million lifetime streams to date, Dummer's music - both as a solo artist and with The City Harmonic - appeared on charts in more than 30 countries around the world in 2020 alone. His next project, 'The Work Vol. II', a collection of Psalm-like songs evoking moments of worship and lament, is set to release later this year.
