Today (May 31), prolific singer-songwriter (and lead singer of GRAMMY-Award winning rock band, Switchfoot) Jon Foreman releases his new LP, In Bloom. Co-produced with James McAlister (Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Sufjan Stevens), the 12-song collection was crafted to accompany a drive down the California coast on a sunny afternoon.
‘In Bloom’ was not the album Jon Foreman set out to write. After Foreman’s “departures,” album, which was written in response to the tremors of 2020, he intended to release another album titled “arrivals,” but the attempt to create it kept running away. He was chasing a destination as it moved further and further away. Yet throughout the creative block, new and different songs were coming to him. Ones that didn’t quite fit with the record he set out to create.
So, Foreman decided to humbly begin on this new road that seemed to be offering itself to him. He embraced the unknown while fresh songs poured effortlessly out of his mind. Letting the music lead the way, Foreman felt the melodies and lyrics were coming to him like flowers, delicate and intuitive. Rather than fighting for control, Foreman created a collection of music that mimics nature and the flow of life: never arriving, but always becoming.

Featuring appearances from singer-songwriters Joy Oladokun and Abby Holliday, “In Bloom” was written in the present, moment by moment, and embraces mortality, limitations, and the ever-present mistakes of the everyday. The record sees Foreman lean into the everchanging garden that he is and that he’s becoming.
“‘In Bloom’ is the album that I wasn’t trying to make. It’s a flower that came to me, unasked. ‘In Bloom’ is an album that celebrates the unexpected gift of the moment. The cover photo and the songs themselves feel like gifts. This record is full of honest, humble, surprises that came to me while I was busy chasing a different arrival.
Rather than obsessing over a future, static destination, may this album represent an entirely different pursuit: to stay present to the present to the ever-present gift of the moment along the way. Like a wildflower, may these songs bring you beauty and joy as you travel along your journey.”
Today (May 31), Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist Crowder releases ‘The EXILE,’ via sixstepsrecords/Capitol Christian Music Group. Incredibly perceptive and timely, the twelve tracks make up the second album in a three-part trilogy that started with ‘Milk & Honey’ (March 2022).
Two tracks — “Grave Robber,” which is Top 5 at CCM radio and climbing, and “— [DASH]” lead this chapter of ‘The EXILE.’ Recorded in conjunction with GRAMMY Award Winning producer team Ben Glover and Jeff Sojka, this record ranges from traditional bluegrass instruments to innovative urban beats; clever, intricate musicianship to quirky sonic elements; the creativity is enjoyable and compelling. ‘The EXILE’ is a recipe for a genre-bending revival.
The album features GRAMMY-Award winning Buddy Miller on a track titled “All My Tears,” a song originally recorded by Julie Miller and Emmylou Harris.

The full collection is a journey, boasting more traditional-laden songs like “STILL” and “Somebody Prayed”, while also featuring “Lord of All,” “Rinsed in the Blood” and “Unstoppable,” which pushes production boundaries in all of the right ways.
The Texas native headlined Winter Jam this year, and he is set to cap the bill at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in August. He also will be touring with MercyMe as part of the “Together Again… Again Tour” this Fall, and Crowder will headline the “Air1 Tour” in November.
The GRAMMY-nominated gospel group, HighRoad, is set to deliver their new album with songs, Straight From the Heart, on May 31st.
The 10 track album features a selection of heartfelt and inspiring songs, including the standout track, “Working on a Building.” This song is a collaboration with some of the most beloved names in Gospel music, such as Karen Peck, The Nelsons, Kim Hopper, and Kenna Turner West. Together, they bring a fresh and soulful sound to this classic song, making it a must-listen for gospel fans everywhere.
Another highlight on the album is “Only In the Cross,” featuring the celebrated gospel artist Scotty Inman. This track delves into the profound meaning of redemption and grace, with Inman’s rich vocals adding depth to the piece. It’s a powerful song that resonates with the essence of the gospel message, making it a poignant addition to this already exceptional album.
The entire project, with additional tracks such as, “When I Lift Up My Head,” “That’s What Love Is,” and “Sing a Hallelujah” captures the spirit of faith, community and perseverance that Gospel music is known for.

Genre-bending acoustic quartet Act of Congress brings its unique blend of pop, folk, gospel and bluegrass to The Hymns That Made Us, a full-length album available at digital and streaming outlets everywhere and through Centricity Music’s new distribution arm, Residence Music.
This self-produced album, The Hymns That Made Us, was mixed by four-time GRAMMY Award winning Ryan Freeland (Bonnie Raitt, Ray LaMontagne) and reimagines timeless classics that invite listeners to worship with thanksgiving, confession, prayer, lament and praise.
“The Hymns That Made Us is our tribute to the timeless songs that have become the soundtrack of our lives; the triumphs and tragedies. We hope you love this album!” collectively exclaims the band consisting of Connie Skellie (violin, vocals), Adam Wright (mandolin, vocals), Chris Griffin (guitars) and Tim Carroll (bass).

Among the 10 hymns selected by the band members for this album is “Christ the Solid Rock,” which has proven especially poignant for Skellie as she teaches her kids that their identity is anchored in Jesus and not in their circumstances. Both of her sons were born with an incurable eye disease.
Carroll and his family lost their home in a catastrophic fire last year and have found comfort singing, “Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, ‘It is well, it is well with my soul.’” Carroll found a new depth in the beloved “It Is Well” after reading the story of hymn writer, Horatio Spafford, who lost everything in the Chicago fire of 1837.
“I became a believer during college while studying guitar. Hymns were unfamiliar to me, but I would use those timeless melodies as practice,” says Griffin, who leads worship at the nation’s second largest church, Church of the Highlands. “‘Come Thou Fount,’ in particular, was a song I would sit on my front porch swing and play, exploring alternate chord progressions and harmonies. Along the way, the lyrics, Teach my heart to sing Thy praise, really sunk in.”
“The songs we’re writing now and the album we just released have so much to say about who we are and what we believe,” sums up Wright, who shares lead vocals with Skellie. “I want people to see authenticity. I want them to feel served. I want them to find the joy we feel in this music.”

There will be many more projects in the works with a few of the featured artists.”
The group was founded in 2018 in Atlanta, Georgia, with the aim of breaking down racial and denominational barriers in Christian music. In 2021, Maverick City Music received a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for their album “Old Church Basement.”
In 2023, the group received four Grammys for Best Gospel Performance/Song (“Kingdom” feat. Naomi Raine & Chandler Moore), Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance (“Fear is Not My Future” feat.
