Continuing to drop new music at breakneck speed, Josiah Queen launched his latest single, “Make Heaven Crowded,” in Times Square where a rowdy crowd of 2,000 people gathered to form a makeshift choir and proclaim their belief in Jesus amidst the iconic lights and buzz of Manhattan. Queen crafted the fresh selection with former UNITED member Dylan Thomas and rising folk-pop artist Gable Price of Gable Price and Friends. The banjo-laced track challenges his generation to be bold in sharing their faith.

On the first verse, Queen offers a perspective-shifting thought from a nonbeliever who questions why Christians would ever follow a creed they never talk about. “I heard an atheist say, ‘No one really believes, ’cause if it was good news they’d tell everyone they see,’” Queen sings. The convicting idea inspires the anthemic chorus as the energetic 20-something declares, “Make Heaven crowded, billions of souls. Till every nation and tribe, every tongue will come home. I’m about it, call me a fool. I don’t care what they say, I will shout it. Make Hеaven crowded.”
Igniting a fresh evangelistic movement, the Tampa native then references Matthew 9:37 in the bridge: “…The harvest is great, but the workers are few.”

Alongside recent releases like “Demons” and “Judas,” Queen has been leading “Make Heaven Crowded” across his nationwide “Mt. Zion Tour,” which wrapped May 8 in Boston. He’ll resume the headlining trek in support of his sophomore effort this fall with a run of international dates, including planned stops in the U.K., France, Germany, Switzerland and more.
Emerging as a fearless voice for his generation since the introduction of his viral hit, “I Am Barabbas,” the burgeoning musician has swiftly risen among the genre’s ranks thanks to radio visibility, sold-out tours and multiple awards show nominations. Queen is currently up for three 2026 K-LOVE Fan Awards, including Artist of the Year, Male Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for “Can’t Steal My Joy,” his debut No. 1 collaboration with Brandon Lake.
