The Sunday Service era's studio artifact: Jesus Is King commits fully to gospel — choirs, organs, no profanity — but the songs arrive as sketches, with "Follow God" the only one that locks. The conviction is audible; the craft that made his earlier reinventions land mostly isn't. A fascinating pivot documented at demo quality.

Sunday Service performed the songs "Water" and "Everything We Need" live prior to release. The album features guest appearances from Clipse, Ty Dolla Sign, Kenny G, Fred Hammond, Ant Clemons, and Sunday Service. The album features production from West, Benny Blanco, E*vax, Finatik N Zac, Francis Starlite, Labrinth, Mike Dean, Pi'erre Bourne, Ronny J, Timbaland, and Warryn Campbell, among others.

West began recording in August 2018, originally announcing the album as Yandhi. The album missed two initial release dates in September and November 2018 under its original title, before being delayed indefinitely. In August 2019, West's wife Kim Kardashian reannounced the album as Jesus Is King but it missed two planned release dates for late September 2019. The album's release was simultaneous with that of a concert film of the same name. Upon release, Jesus Is King received mixed reviews from music critics. Some noted the consistency throughout and praised it in comparison to West's previous solo album, while other critics expressed negative feelings towards the lyrical content. Jesus Is King debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and became the first ever to take all top ten spots on both the "Hot Christian Songs" and "Hot Gospel Songs" charts. The album broke another record by simultaneously topping five separate charts in the United States: the Billboard 200, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, Top Rap Albums, Top Christian Albums and Top Gospel Albums.
