Although recording sessions for his first album began in 2023, David Sutton says the songs on Let Kingdom Come were in his soul for some time. It was a formality when he entered the studio to cut them.

Let Kingdom Come was officially launched on October 19 at First Assembly of God in Newleigh, Manchester. It comes four years after Sutton made an impression with audiences as a finalist in the Jamaica Festival Gospel Song Competition.

“It’s truly a duality; some of these songs have been in me for years and the assignment I believe God gave me to work on this project came in 2022. So, this is well over two years of hard work, planning, sacrifices, and growth all leading to this moment,” he told the
Jamaica Observer. “A part of me is glad it’s finally here, but another part of me knows the work is only just getting started.”

Let Kingdom Come contains 11 songs (with an intro and interlude) including
The Lord Reigns, Revive Your Church and Daniel 7 (Exhortation).

Going into production, Sutton was familiar with most of the musicians who worked on the set, such as Jo-Daniel Wilson, Kevaughn Stewart (keyboards); Gregory Morrison (bass); Lejay Marriott (drums); Damel Swaby and Zaire Green (guitarists).

Sutton made his recording debut in 2020 with Our Response, which was done for the gospel song competition.

Much of his vocal and musical development took place at Goshen Assembly Church in his native St Elizabeth, where his parents, Bishop Glenroy Sutton and Reverend Charmaine Sutton, are pastors.

He credits his older sister Yanique with introducing him to the work of contemporary gospel acts like Tye Tribbett, Israel Houghton, Kirk Franklin, Jermaine Edwards, Kevin Downswell, and DJ Nicolas. Listening to their songs, and watching their performances, he said, helped prepare him as an 18-year-old for the Jamaica Festival Gospel Song Competition.
