You shelter me with Vindication.

When it seems all hope is gone, I’ll just carry on.

Vindication is a power-chorus disco song about falling from grace, living in the dark, and finding the guiding light that shelters you through it all. The chorus lands like a tidal wave — “You shelter me with Vindication” — over a groove that’s pure disco: four-on-the-floor, unapologetic, made to move. If you love the survival anthem of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive,” the disco pulse of Donna Summer’s “Last Dance,” or the gospel-funk of Kirk Franklin’s “Love Theory,” this one will feel like home.

This is a song about God — the guiding light that finds you when you’ve lived in the dark, the word you trust no matter how hard the fight, and the shelter that holds you when it seems all hope is gone. It first appeared on the Invincible album in 2016, released as a single in 2018. The song has lived a second life too — a smooth-jazz instrumental featuring Toronto saxophonist Colleen Allen, who carries the melody the way the vocal carries the words. Either way, it’s a song about never giving up: “Today will mark the start of a new life.”
