The wait is finally over as Worship leader/ Author and Showgear Records Recording Artiste; Folabi Nuel releases his much anticipated 15-track sophomore project Hunger: From Our Hearts to Yours in Lagos, Nigeria on 06 November 2020.

The project, which comes on the heels of Folabi’s widely acclaimed lockdown EP titled Songs from my Bedroom, was recorded live in two locations, Lifepointe Church (Lekki, Lagos) and David’s Christian Centre in (Festac, Lagos), capturing a genuine atmosphere of community worship.

Fans of Folabi Nuel are already raving about this landmark project having tasted a few singles (Omemma, How to Love & Yeshua) off the album over the last couple of months.

According to Folabi, “this project is anchored on the scripture “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6). Every song creates room for you to pursue God and makes you hungry for more of Him.”

From Yeshua which speaks about the power in the name of Jesus and is currently a favourite with close to half a million views on Youtube and has been translated to Spanish, to Satisfied which is a simple prayer for more of God, to Water Ft. PITA which is simply a request to be full of God to a point of overflow, to Everyday Ft. Freke Umoh which is a song of gratitude and thanksgiving.

Without doubt each and every song from this project leaves you refreshed. No wonder they have received great praise and admiration from notable personalities such as Pastor Feb Idahosa, Pastor Godman Akinlabi, Victoria Orenze, Tim Godfrey, Wilson Joel etc.

Folabi has come a long way since his debut album Good God which featured the likes of Florocka and Yamaha ambassador, Wole Oni and topped the gospel charts in Nigeria. He has featured as an headline act at the global celebration of music in Lagos, Make Music Lagos for 3 consecutive years. He has also shared platforms with Travis Greene, Nathaniel Bassey, Tim Godfrey, Dr. Tumi, Phil Thompson, Maranda Curtis, TY Bello and a host of other gospel greats.

On the heels of a Billboard Music Award win and American Music Award nomination, four-time GRAMMY award-winning Australian duo and Curb | Word Entertainment recording artist for KING & COUNTRY releases its first full-length Christmas album A Drummer Boy Christmas, available. To coincide with the release, the duo will be premiering the official music video for the Christmas classic “Little Drummer Boy” – a song that has become a staple in for KING & COUNTRY’s live performance. 

Joel Smallbone, one half of for KING & COUNTRY, shares his thoughts on the album release:  

“This album has been 8 years in the making. It all started in an old factory on a dreary 2012 autumn’s night where we dreamt up our rendition of ‘Little Drummer Boy.’ And from that day to this, and with a load of Christmas tours, singles and EPs under our belt, we’ve fallen in love with this miraculous season and it’s been written into the band’s DNA. 

“So, when the hardship of 2020 took hold of the world, we thought that it would be the imperfectly perfect year to put together our first ever full-length Christmas record. And what a recording journey it’s been and an international one at that, from producers (Matt Hales) in Bath England, to string orchestration (Davide: Coldplay) in Copenhagen, to recording with our live band in Nashville, or mixing in London – this album has truly been a global creation. “

“And therefore, it’s with great reverence and pride coupled with the hope that Christmas 2020 will be the most redemptive and joy-filled celebration of the greatest hope mankind has ever known – the birth of Jesus Christ, that we present to you A Drummer Boy Christmas.”

A Drummer Boy Christmas debuted on the iTunes charts at No. 4 overall, and No. 1 on the Holiday chart. Check out American Songwriter’s feature story on A Drummer Boy Christmas HERE.

Joining for KING & COUNTRY on their milestone 13-track album are the award-winning band NEEDTOBREATHE – featured on “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” and rising star Gabby Barrett – featured on “Go Tell It On The Mountain.” The collection also features two original Christmas songs entitled “Heavenly Hosts” and an emotionally moving ballad from Joseph’s perspective entitled “The Carol of Joseph (I Believe In You).” Known for their explosive and unique live rendition of the Christmas staple “Little Drummer Boy”, Joel and Luke Smallbone of for KING & COUNTRY implement that same energy into the totality of A Drummer Boy Christmas.

In tune with the holiday spirit, for KING & COUNTRY’s recent drive-in concert in Spring Hill, Tennessee raised over $50,000 dollars for The Well Outreach, a local food pantry and meal distribution initiative. The duo’s upcoming tour A Drummer Boy Christmas will support The Salvation Army along with their Rescue Christmas initiative, and will see for KING & COUNTRY performing safe, socially distanced concerts under the stars. Concertgoers can bring new, unwrapped toys that will be collected by representatives from the local Salvation Army and distributed to families struggling during the holiday season.

Today, sixstepsrecords/Capitol CMG’s Passion presents their first ever Christmas album, Hope Has a Name, on all digital platforms. This special holiday offering was recorded in studio at Passion City Church in Atlanta. Hope Has a Name features Passion worship leaders Kristian Stanfill, Brett Younker and Melodie Malone along with friends Crowder and Chidima.

“We have wanted to create a Christmas album for many years, but just haven’t been able to find the time as normally we are in full planning mode for Passion Conference,” shares Passion’s Kristian Stanfill. “With so many things being canceled and changed this year with the onset of COVID-19, one of the few blessings has been time. We had more time to dream, write and create what it would look like to make a Christmas record. The heart of this whole project is an invitation to come and find everything you need in Jesus. Come if you’re broken / Come if you’re searching / If you need healing / He’s where you find it (lyrics from ‘Hope Has a Name’).”

“Although it is a daunting task to make new Christmas music, we wanted to write songs that help tell the Gospel story of God with us – stepping into our lives to rescue us – songs that explode in worship in wonder and awe,” continues Passion’s Brett Younker.

With this year bringing so many uncertainties across the globe, Passion felt this was the perfect time to create a special project to help listeners express their love and devotion to God during the holiday season. Passion teamed up with others in the worship community for co-writing and production including Jacob Sooter, Matt Maher, Jeff Pardo, Sean Curran, Stefan Cashwell, Kirby Kaple of Housefires and Aodhan King and Ben Fielding of Hillsong Worship. Hope Has a Name features five original songs and two classics including the reimagined “O Come All Ye Faithful (His Name Shall Be)” with a new bridge
