Katie Linendoll announces the debut of her music career with her EP, “Jericho Battle Cry.” She is well-known for her illustrious career in tech and TV, but she is elated to kick-off this journey combining her faith and love for music. Linendoll takes pride in living a faith-filled life as a devout Catholic and is excited to share her passion for Christian music through this self-funded EP.

Katie Linendoll is an Emmy Award-winning TV personality, consumer technology expert and one of the leading women in the field of technology. As one of the most in-demand technology experts worldwide, Linendoll has hosted multiple shows on top networks with frequent appearances as a contributor for major media outlets including The Rachael Ray Show, The Weather Channel, CBS Sports Radio and many more.

Although this EP marks Linendoll’s first step into the Christian music industry, she is not foreign to the music world. Her dad is a drummer, and she has taken voice lessons for over 15 years. In addition, she has dabbled in guitar, piano, music theory and various music software programs. With her professional life on television, she has always been drawn to the pre- and post-production of music, producing select music projects over the years.

With everything Katie puts her hands to, whether in her personal or professional life, she works hard and doesn’t take short cuts….which is also true for the start of her music career. She had the opportunity to collaborate with some of the best professionals in the industry, bringing her lyrics and ideas to life. She said, “The goal is to evangelize, to inspire and give back.”

“Jericho Battle Cry” is based on the Biblical Battle of Jericho, when the Israelites were trying to take command of the fortified city of Jericho from the Canaanites. The Israelites marched around the city once a day for six days. On the seventh day, God commanded them to march around the city seven times and then to sound their ram’s horns. With infallible courage, they blew their horns and sounded a battle cry! And as God never fails, the walls of Jericho came crashing down.

Linendoll shares, “As I also come from a proud military family, this song contains equal parts Americana, vigor and scripture: ‘Be clothed in the armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the treachery of the devil’ (Ephesians 6:11). So, whether you’re alone in your room, driving in your car, working out or traveling, I hope and pray that you turn this song up and feel inspired.”

For Katie, she simply desires to inspire others with her music, even if it’s only one person…similar to the way other artists have inspired her. She said, “If I can do that, then I have accomplished what God has led me to through my love and passion for music.”

Additionally, 50% of all net proceeds from the EP and merchandise will be donated to a cause close to Katie’s heart. For “Jericho Battle Cry,” the organization is Bugles Across America — a non-profit organization that has created a network of volunteers who provide Buglers who sound “Taps” live for Veteran funerals at no cost. Since 2000, they have participated in over 250,000 Funeral Missions and over 2 million hours of volunteer time.

Linendoll is hosting a new CCM series called FAITH: Soundcheck on SiriusXM that aired this week. The limited series will air LIVE with re-airs for the following three weeks. Some of her guests will include For King and Country, Sanctus Real and Matty Mullins of Memphis May Fire.

GRAMMY nominee Tauren Wells releases his live album titled Citizen Of Heaven (Live). The project includes 15 audio tracks and 4 videos that were recorded during his album launch event in January 2020 at Lakewood Church in his hometown of Houston, TX.

“My favorite thing about creating an album is anticipating what the live versions of the songs will become,” says Wells. “Having a song come alive for the first time in the writing room or the studio is a crazy feeling, but there is a different energy and excitement when the song comes alive in a room full of people! We captured all that fire on this new LIVE album, and it is a full-on heatwave! You’re about to dance, cry, laugh, and worship all at the same time so be prepared. The people in the car next to you are going to be really confused!!”

Citizen Of Heaven (Live) is available now to download or stream.

The result is a story of joy, pain, love and loss, with Grace becoming one of Price’s most inspirational and moving projects to date.

 Joyous Celebration brings a message of hope and positivity with their milestone 25th album released today.

This is the first album from the revered gospel ensemble under Universal Music Africa and with a distribution deal with Motown Gospel in the US. It is released in time for Easter celebrations and with the dark shadow of the Coronavirus pandemic that continues to ravage families and leave people destitute hanging heavily.

Even in dire circumstances like this, MTN Joyous Celebration has not lost its fire, if anything, the recording proves that their music remains a dependable balm that goes a long way to soothe troubled souls. Still We Rise speaks to the indomitable human spirit and its resilience in the face of adversity.

The recording was conducted without choir master Lindelani Mkhize on stage due to ill health, but he still led from behind the scenes ensuring that the performance remains spirited and uplifting.

The 16 track Still We Rise is led by singles Ndezel Uncedo and The Victory Song that set the tone for a rapturous experience.

Ndenzel Uncedo led by Esethu Mngxuma is taken from the Methodist church Xhosa hymnbook. The rousing traditional hymn is delivered with impeccable rhythm and gusto. It is about finding refuge in God at a time of difficulty, pain and loss.

It is sung by believers who recognize that they cannot get through life on their own, it is only with the grace of God that they can survive troubles. The song resonates with the challenges of today. Ndenzel Uncedo has already garnered over 180 000 views on YouTube in less than a week.

Packed with high energy from the first note, The Victory Song is a manifestation of God’s unfailing love. Led by the consummate performer and singer Bonginkosi Mthombeni, the track boasts generous doses of spunk and groove.

The swashbuckling dance routine by Bonginkosi is a throwback to the heady days of Michael Jackson and James Brown’s nifty footwork. The Victory Song is not only apt as acknowledgement of how far the ensemble has come, but sets the tone for the future.

The energy is kept up on tracks like Sebenza Ngami, Ka Mehla, Elakho Liphezulu, Ngiyanikela and Grace and Mercy.

Pastor Jabu Hlongwane returns to the stage with Sofana Naye while Pastor Mthunzi Namba delivers a powerful testament of unshaken faith with In Christ We Stand.

Some of the new faces that inject a new energy to the band are Thobeka Ramaloko who shines on the keyboard fuelled Bonginkosi Ngazo and Nwabisa Meth is a class act in Camagu Ngonyama rooted in Xhosa rhythms tinged with jazz. Kholiswa Ganca dazzles in the exuberant Cela, while Bongiwe Madela dazzles in Jesus is Lord Medley and Nozipho Phiri is infectious on Thank You Lord.

Still We Rise boasts the musicality and dexterity that MTN Joyous Celebration has been known for. It doesn’t shy away from African influences that are masterfully fused with modern sensibilities.

Enthuses Mkhize: ‘We are proud to present this album marking 25 years of MTN Joyous Celebration. We have a new recording home at Universal Music, we have been injected with a new energy and we are enthusiastic about the future. This album has everything for everybody, it will leave all our supporters and fans sated with the holy spirit delivered in song, praise and worship. Even when I wasn’t on stage to conduct the choir due to ill health, everything came together so perfectly and the excellence we are known for remains unmatched.’

Still We Rise was recorded under strict Covid-19 lockdown protocols at Joburg Theatre without a live audience.

MTN Joyous Celebration 25 premier show takes place on Friday, 2 April 2021 at Joburg Theatre with a limited audience and observing Covid-19 lockdown protocols. Tickets will go for sale on Webtickets soon.
