Melody Noel Debuts First Christian EP ‘Back To Praise’

Influence Music artist and creative director Melody Noel drops her debut Christian EP Back To Praise. 

After eight years of leading the independent label to great success — from earning 285 million lifetime streams across platforms, brokering a distribution deal with Capitol Christian Music Group to releasing Billboard-charting projects — Melody Noel is finally ready to make her own voice heard.

“It’s important to me that ‘Back To Praise’ is life-giving,” Melody Noel said. “We live in an era where everything pulls at our energy and focus, and my goal is to release music that helps redirect our hearts and minds to that which is praiseworthy.”

“Back to Praise” is a five-track EP with a soundscape resembling that of 2000s singer-songwriter artists such as Sara Bareilles, Vanessa Carlton and Natasha Bedingfield. Melody Noel’s debut Christian EP comes off the heels of Influence Music winning the “Chorus Award” (church worship album of the year) at the 13th Annual We Love Christian Music Awards for their album “Day & Night (Live at Influence Church).”

The EP starts with “Closer Than I Know,” a heartfelt anthem reminding us of God’s unwavering love and presence in our lives. The second track, “So Good,” proclaims God’s “simply breathtaking” ability to provide us peace when we open our hearts to Him. “Back To Praise” calls on those to continue praising God even when they are deep in the valleys of life. “God’s Got This” reassures listeners that God can handle all the  troubles we present to Him. “Beautiful Life” closes out the EP, reminding us to enjoy the abundant life God has given us.

After years of writing for secular pop artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Melody felt a pull to dedicate her craft to Christian music. This divine calling led Melody to co-found Influence Music in 2017, where she was instrumental in creating the worship collective’s iTunes no. 1 and Billboard no. 2 album, “Touching Heaven” (2018).

To date, Melody’s music has amassed over 228 million streams across digital platforms. Guided by the timeless creed “Soli Deo gloria” — “Glory to God alone” — Melody continues to write songs that inspire faith and encourage worship.

Elevation Rhythm Drops “Believe It” From Forthcoming Album

ELEVATION RHYTHM will release their new album Victory Lap on May 23rd. Fans can now pre-save the album and listen to the new song “Believe It. Victory Lap provides listeners with a roadmap for the Christian life after they make the transformative decision to follow Jesus.

“Every song has an element of triumph,” shares ELEVATION RHYTHM’s lead songwriter and producer Josh Holiday. “I wanted to introduce new sonics, and I think the best way to introduce new sounds is to do it in the studio, so that you’re not thinking about the crowd; you’re not thinking about the energy of a room. Instead, you’re thinking more about the sonic space.”

To create this environment, Holiday set up a makeshift studio in a nondescript room where the church holds staff meetings. With no audience and no prior rehearsals, ELEVATION RHYTHM set out to capture an album that was literally in the moment. Live and raw, many of the mastered songs were performed for the first time and recorded in one take. Victory Lap also boasts guest vocals from frequent ELEVATION RHYTHM collaborator Joe L Barnes, as well as Gracie Binion, Elevation Worship’s Tiffany Hudson, newcomers Zach Webb and Charles Weems, as well as GRAMMY nominee Blessing Offor.

“This life we live is a victory lap, but many people don’t walk in that freedom. They’re walking in defeat, not knowing the battle’s already won,” Holiday offers of the record’s dominant theme. “It’s like that moment after you’ve made the decision. The victory lap happens after you’ve won.”
