Coming off a support gig opening for Chuck Ragan last night, Divided Heaven has shared a new single called "The New Hallelvjah," featuring UK singer Sam Russo.

The Jeff Berman-led project released Oblivion last year on A-F Records.

Speaking of "The New Hallelvjah," Berman states:

Some days I look in the mirror and think that I aged 10 years in these past 3. The personal trauma and our collective trauma feels so heavy at times that I feel stuck. "The New Hallelvjah" is a smile on the face of trauma; a celebration of life. I’m grateful to still be playing music. I’m grateful to be in love. Sam Russo feels the same way, so having him on this track makes the smile that much bigger. Plus, Sam is incredibly handsome, charming, and… British.
