Fawaz showed in an Instagram video that he records his own rough vocal and feeds it into Suno, which rebuilds it as a polished R&B-style performance. The article describes his work in general, not this track.

About this song
Like a Prayer (Afro House) is an electronic dance version of Madonna's 'Like a Prayer', credited to the Australian DJ and producer Josh Fawaz. It came out as a one-track single released on 11 May 2026, with the copyright line held by Hallwood, and Apple Music lists Fadi Fawaz as its producer.
Rolling Stone Australia reported on 24 July 2026 that Fawaz had shown, in a behind-the-scenes Instagram video, how he uses the generative AI platform Suno: he records his own deliberately rough vocal and Suno rebuilds it as a smooth R&B-style performance. He has said he uses AI as a tool. The same article says Spotify credits for his Madonna cover were later updated to name AI vocals and AI drums. Mixmag Australia notes that Hallwood Media was among the companies that invested in Suno in November 2025.
