Sometimes a song stops you in your tracks — not with flash or volume, but with truth. Whitney Fenimore’s latest release, Wrong About Jesus, is one of those rare songs. It doesn’t just sound good (spoiler: it sounds amazing) — it makes you feel something real.
This isn’t your traditional gospel track. Sure, it’s got soul — deep, rich, earth-shaking soul — but it also leans indie, groovy, and refreshingly modern. It’s like if Sunday morning met a vinyl-listening night with friends. The production is warm and vibey, layered with smooth horns, textured harmonies, and a rhythm that moves your feet before your brain even catches up.
And then there’s that voice.
Whitney’s vocals aren’t trying to overpower you. Instead, they invite you in. There’s strength, yes, but also a gentle vulnerability that’s impossible to fake. Her lyrics are like hearing someone whisper a prayer they’ve been holding inside for years. It’s not about drama. It’s about honesty.
Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Whitney knows the landscape of Christian faith — and the weight that can come with it. Wrong About Jesus isn’t a takedown. It’s a love letter to a new understanding — an exploration of faith that’s more inclusive, more compassionate, and more personal than the rigid structure many of us grew up with.
What if you were wrong about Jesus? What if the version you were taught didn’t quite reflect the love, the grace, the humanity he was all about? That’s the question at the heart of this song, and Whitney answers it not with anger, but with hope. There’s no fire and brimstone here — just open hands and open-hearted storytelling.
Having already made waves as a standout on The Voice, and earned praise from NPR, PEOPLE, and No Depression, Whitney Fenimore has been steadily building a career rooted in sincerity and artistic integrity. Her past singles have ranged from cinematic folk to intimate indie rock, but Wrong About Jesus feels like a moment. It’s bold, beautiful, and exactly the kind of song you didn’t know you needed until it played.
If you’ve ever questioned what you were taught, or if you’ve ever longed for a version of faith that feels like home — press play. This track won’t lecture you. It won’t preach. But it will sit with you, groove with you, and maybe even help you believe again — in love, in second chances, and in music that actually says something.
Whitney Fenimore is doing more than releasing songs. She’s telling the truth — her truth — and letting it shine through every note.
