Award-winning artist and songwriter Mac Powell announces his new album, I Love Jesus, releasing on October 25th. Fans can pre-save the new album along with his new song, “Good News,” which is available today. The title track is also his new radio single, impacting radio last week.

“My new song ‘Good News” reminds us of the simple gospel of the message that Jesus came to this world, and died for our sins so that we could have eternal life,” shares Mac Powell.

After a nearly three-decade career as the lead singer with the GRAMMY Award-winning band Third Day, Powell released his CCM solo debut in 2021, New Creation. This album produced the hit radio singles “New Creation” and “River of Life.”  When he began working on this new project, he wanted to return to basics. The album is filled with three and four-chord songs that remind the listener of what God has done in our lives and remind us of the love of Jesus and our love for him.

Powell continues, “With I Love Jesus I wanted to return to the simplicity of what I do. The gospel is a simple truth and I wanted to share that in simple songs that remind us of what God has done in our lives and remind us of the love of Jesus. I believe this is some of my best work and songs and I can’t wait to hear the stories of how these songs impact people’s lives.”

They have been asking for it, and I wanted to make sure that it was not only musically pleasing, but the message would cause someone to grow their faith in God.

When the band began the recording process in 2003, they had signed with a record label to release the collection of songs, preparing them for the biggest stages and audiences they’d ever known. But when their dream took a turn, and the record label dropped them, the rejection brought on fears and doubts like never before.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Beautiful Letdown, the band realizes just how important that rollercoaster was. “The journey of The Beautiful Letdown reminded us why we started playing music in the first place. It united us and gave us a deep appreciation for each other and the people that showed up to sing with us.”

 Curb Records recording artist Hannah Kerr reveals her sophomore album, As I Am. The pop-centric album opener and title track finds the singer/songwriter realizing the truly unconditional nature of God’s love. “As I Am” ultimately upholds the truth of God’s astounding grace: God sees our imperfections and mistakes and loves us in spite of them.

Wearing her heart on her sleeve, Kerr sings of her journey to accept that perfect love and see herself how God does, setting the tone for her fresh 14-track collection on the selection she wrote with Jonathan Gamble and Matthew Morrisey.

“This album is so special to me, and I can’t wait to finally share it with you,” Kerr enthuses. “I wrote these songs in the past few years as I’ve gone through seasons of change, fear, joy and growth. Through it all, I’ve learned that there’s nothing I can do to earn the love of God. He sees every detail of my life, and He doesn’t change His mind about me. He loves me AS I AM.”

Ke’Erron releases his awaited Integrity Music debut album, “Anything Can Happen (Live).” Recorded live in his hometown of Houston, Texas, the 10-song new record is filled with grateful praise. The essence of “Anything Can Happen” is even more impactful when one gets to know Ke’Erron and his story.

A few years back, The Trinidad and Tobago-born artist was diagnosed with two incurable diseases, yet he has been enduring his health hardships with the hope of Christ and a greater perspective of his purpose. The album’s title track was in fact written between the artist’s living room and the hospital, carrying the central message that God is still a miracle worker.

With “Anything Can Happen,” Ke’Erron created an album to raise people’s faith and share excitement in knowing God is working in our day. The new album features various artists (Leeland, Mayra Alvarez, and Evan Craft) and is sonically expansive and joyful, blending some CCM, gospel, and pop. “Anything Can Happen” embodies Ke’Erron’s devotion, creative energy, and contagious love for God and for life, no matter what is thrown at him.

The highly anticipated project, Loving You, which the Nelons have declared as their best work yet, releases today. The release of the project was uncertain following the tragic passing of Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, their daughter Amber, son-in law Nathan Kistler, their assistant Melodi Hodges, and the pilot Larry Haynie and his wife Melissa in Wyoming while en route to perform on the Gaither Family Cruise earlier this summer.

However, after much consideration, surviving member Autumn Nelon Streetman, the youngest member of The Nelons’, felt it appropriate to honor the family’s legacy by releasing the project on its original release date. Loving You, features the award winning and Hall of Fame group’s unmatched musical talent and unbounding faith. 

The project carries an added layer of significance with each song on Loving Youserving as a tribute to their life mission of spreading the gospel. Tracks such as, “Hands of an Unseen God,” “We’ve Always Had A Song” and “Moses” reflect the group’s unique ability to minister faith in the midst of pain while rejoicing in the power of divine intervention.

Additionally songs, such as the title track, “Loving You” and “That’s What Love Is” offers a simple yet needed reminder that love never fails. The ten-track album, an unapologetic celebration of The Nelons musical integrity and unwavering commitment to their faith, brings together a collection of timeless songs that will continue to inspire for generations to come.

“I had no idea how big an impact this album would have on my life, especially what I’m walking through,” says Autumn Nelon Streetman. “There is a song on this album called, “Hand of an Unseen God,” and the lyrics say, ‘In my weeping and rejoicing, When my world is good or when it falls apart, I’m held by the hand of an unseen God’ and I had no idea I would be walking through those lyrics right now.”

Ed Leonard, president of Daywind Records stated, “Kelly, Amber, and Jason were immensely proud of this recording produced by Jason, Gordon Mote, Wayne Haun, and Bill Gaither, and featuring their friends Joseph Habedank, N.T. Martin, and the Gaither Vocal Band. Please let it minister to you as it has to us as we face the loss of these amazingly talented people who lived what they sang about every day.”

Dusty Wells, director of artist & label relations at Daywind continued by saying, “Loving You is more than just a music project; it’s a testament to The Nelon’s’ enduring legacy and anointed artistry. From the moment we began working on this album at Daywind Records, I knew it was something special. Jason, Kelly, Amber, Autumn and our team looked for and listened to countless songs before narrowing it down to songs that we felt would minister in a very special way.

This project captures the heart and soul of who The Nelons are, not just as artists, but as people who have spent their lives pouring love into their music and their audience. Who knew that this project would be the last recording that they would bring to us. The project is a musical tapestry of hope, strength, peace and love and I know without a shadow of a doubt, it will help countless others on their own journey.

Yes, we will certainly miss Jason, Kelly, and Amber, but the music will live on…after all, they will always have a song.  This is undoubtedly one of their best works yet, and its impact will resonate for generations, leaving an indelible mark on their legacy.”
