Paul David inspires with "Affirmation" anthem feat. Justin Ryan

Minneapolis-based multi-instrumentalist and composer Paul David is back with his latest single, "Affirmation," featuring the vocals of Justin Ryan. This is a song that feels like both a prayer and a promise, celebrating hope, resilience, and the quiet courage of ordinary people.

With soft songwriting and stacked sounds, "Affirmation" unwinds gracefully. The quality of Paul David's musicianship is evident at every turn, tender textures collide with heartfelt melodies, and Justin Ryan's emotive vocals anchor the song's contemplative mood. They add up to the kind of intimate and universal mood that must be built together.

 "Affirmation" is an exhortation to persevere, a musical mantra designed to lift and bring comfort. Both verses feel like an echo of the human need for comfort when times are confusing, perfectly melding the warm embrace of folk-influenced storytelling with a timeless, deep well of singer-songwriter craftsmanship.

Paul David, who also leads a modest day-to-day life, keeps his music authentic. His music doesn't follow trends so much as it makes space for honesty. The production feels intentionally sockless, favoring imperfect grace over perfect finish. Paul David and Justin Ryan invite you to find stillness in the storm with "Affirmation." It's a song from their soul that whispers with power, an anthem of resilience, gratitude, and the conviction that even in the darkest moments, light will always find its way through.
