Ariel Fitzpatrick’s “Shadow” Due Out Tomorrow

Montreal’s rising gospel artist Ariel Fitzpatrick is poised to make waves with her new single “Shadow”, released September 26 via Motown Gospel. With her faith always at the core, Fitzpatrick invites listeners into a space of refuge, drawing them under the metaphorical “shadow” of God’s protection.

What makes “Shadow” so compelling is how Ariel continues to break molds: she merges deeply devotional storytelling with contemporary production that feels modern without sacrificing spiritual depth. It’s part of a trajectory from her past singles — “Angels,” with its soft R&B leanings, and “Under the Sun,” a Caribbean-touched cut inspired by Romans 1:20 — each exploring worship through different musical lenses.

Ariel’s journey has been shaped by more than studio time. Her growth as a creator on social media is remarkable: in less than a year, she’s amassed over 2 million followers by combining musical moments with short-form content. She didn’t start in conventional showrooms, she grew up singing in church with her sister, and has performed in communities across Quebec, including Cree First Nation areas.

“Shadow” is more than a single, it’s a statement of intent. As she leads into an October album launch, Ariel Fitzpatrick is proving that gospel music can be both spiritually anchored and sonically adventurous. Expect a body of work that uplifts, challenges, and connects across generations.
