Christian hip-hop pioneer Eddy Puyol unveils the official music video for “Breathe Again,” a visually compelling companion to the song from his album Run tha Funk Back for a Good Time. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Will Thomas, the video embraces a worship-centered tone, inviting viewers to slow down, reflect, and recognize breath itself as a daily gift.
“Breathe Again” reimagines Puyol’s 2005 single “Breathe,” originally released as the lead track from his influential hip-hop worship album In Rare Form. The project earned worldwide distribution in 2006 and was one of the first Christian hip-hop worship albums, helping establish a new lane where rap and worship intersect. UK outlet Cross Rhythms praised the song as “a pioneering hip-hop worship turntable hit, a gem that balances R&B, rap and worship perfectly,” and the track climbed into the Top 5 on Cross Rhythms City Radio.

More than two decades later, “Breathe Again” revisits that foundation with renewed depth and perspective. Where the original leaned on raw turntable textures and hip-hop elements, the updated version layers lush R&B tones and polished pop production, featuring soulful vocals from Gospel neo-soul artist Lisa McClendon, delivering a radio-ready sound equally suited for late-night listening or intimate moments of worship.
“When I first wrote ‘Breathe,’ it was my prayer in that season,” says Puyol. “With more life lived and perspective gained, ‘Breathe Again’ reflects thankfulness—acknowledging breath as something we’re given every day.”
The video mirrors that evolution. Instead of a traditional performance, it focuses on emotionally resonant imagery—nature, prayer, and quiet moments of reflection—inviting viewers to connect with God.
With “Breathe Again,” Puyol bridges his pioneering hip-hop worship roots with a refined, modern vision, giving longtime supporters and new listeners a reminder of the sacredness in something as simple as breath.
The official “Breathe Again” music video is now available on YouTube. The single is streaming on all major digital platforms.
