Grammy Award-winning artist and Elevation Worship leader Tiffany Hudson has recently released her first full-length solo album, Hidden Here.
“This project is more to me than lyrics & melodies, they are a collection of memories and moments with the Lord that I pray is an offering, first & foremost, to Him,” Hudson, who released the debut album last week, wrote on Instagram.

“I also pray that you could discover the Lord Jesus in a way that won’t allow you to stay the same. That the Lord would draw you into a deeper level of consecration to himself,” she continued.
“I am beaming with gratitude for the many many people that contributed to this project. This project is a product of many beautiful people!”
Hudson recently told CBN News that she had not initially intended to pursue a solo career.
“I never had a desire to do my own projects or to write my own songs necessarily, but I felt like the Lord had invited me into this process,” she told the outlet, adding that she began writing the songs on her piano in 2022.
Hudson noted that the music on the album “felt more like a personal, devotional type of song that I would want to say to the Lord.”
Hudson shared that her time with God and sitting by the piano inspired her to create the melodies and lyrics on this album.
“I felt like I was in a season of creative drought. I would sit at the piano and feel like nothing I would write would be good, I just didn’t like any of it, and I felt like somewhere God had flipped the switch,” the worship leader explained. “He was speaking to me and putting themes on my heart, so then when I would sit at the piano, it felt like songs just came with such ease.”
After being inspired by God in those private moments, she would then bring “those little starts, whether it’s a chorus or a verse, to a group of co-writers, and then they (the songs) really come to life.”
Hudson told CBN News that she hopes the album would encourage people to draw closer to God.
“I would say my prayer is that these songs will lead people to a deeper devotion to Him,” she said, “I can only live for Jesus; no other life or no other person is worthy. It’s only Him.”
She also thanked Elevation Church for encouraging her to embark on this solo album journey.
“That kind of gave me the ability to say, ‘Let’s chase after this. Let’s see what the Lord wants to do to this song,'” Hudson shared.
Several worship leaders are featured on the album, including Steffany Gretzinger, Joe L. Barnes and Mitch Wong.
