LO Worship Announces Full-Length Live Project Releasing September 19

LO Worship, a collective of musicians formed through Sadie Robertson-Huff‘s Live Original ministry, is excited to announce the release of their highly anticipated debut album, Songs For the Anxious Heart, on September 19th. The first single from the album, “The Perfect Love of Jesus,” featuring Aodhán King (formerly of Hillsong Young & Free), is released today alongside the album’s pre-order.

Recorded live in Monroe, LA, at The Hub, these songs were born out of the collective’s personal experiences with anxiety, grief, and fear. Songs For The Anxious Heart is a complete listening experience showcasing God’s faithfulness amidst life’s worries and trials.

The honest lyrics and spirit-led melodies speak directly to the heart, offering peace, purpose, and connection through worship. The recording also features pastoral moments from founder Sadie Roberston-Huff throughout the album.

Launching the first single of the project with Aodhán King, “The Perfect Love of Jesus” offers a beautiful reminder that we can’t outrun the love of God. His grace embraces us and reminds us of our identity as a loved and chosen child of God.

“So many of us struggle with trying to earn God’s love and approval, and this song reminds us that His perfect love chooses us, protects us, and covers us all of our days,” shares Kaylea of LO Worship. “We cannot mess it up. We hope this song reminds people of the grace, goodness, and love of God! It’s easy to continue our Christian life and forget how far God has brought us. This song brings us back to the love of God and reminds us that it’s the reason we are here today. It’s everything to us.”

Franni Cash Embraces Her Inner ‘Wild Child’ On Debut EP

Performer, vocalist and songwriter Franni Cash releases her first solo EP, Wild Child, today with four new songs including her latest single, “Koolaid.”  This reintroduction has been more than a year in the making, a personal and musical journey that follows her sudden departure from the multiple GRAMMY nominated band she co-founded (We The Kingdom) nearly fifteen months ago. But she had her reasons.

Franni Cash traveled West from Nashville where she turned the page on an exciting new chapter, taking the time to ground herself and settle into the person she was meant to be. When she returned to Nashville, Franni hit the studio revitalized and ready to create music that was purely hers.

The result are four poignant and infections songs that do not shy away from her turmoltous past but do not dwell on where she has been, instead reveling in freedom and optimism for the future. She first opened up with her first solo effort, “Wildflowers” earlier this month. The song has an infectious, banjo-driven country groove and is a gentle, but powerful story of personal discovery, a reoccuring theme found throughout the rest of the EP.

“I want this music, what’s out now and what’s still to come, to be relatable, to feel inclusive,” says Franni Cash. “Most of all I want my music to mean something. I want to feel that when someone listens to these songs, they feel the same freedom I felt creating them.”

“Wildflowers,” was co-written with Austin Cain, Andy Cherry, and David Leonard, and opened a new creative relationship with producer Cameron Jaymes (Rachel Platten, Alana Springsteen) which encouraged Franni Cash to explore her musical influences. The follow up, “Koolaid,” was co-written with Justin Wilson and sees her break from the past without apology and explores the negative effects of organized religious.

“Misfit,” co-written with Natalie Hemby is a moment of confidence which immediately dispels the hypocrisy of Christian culture. Closing out the EP is the heartfelt “Anywhere” which was produced and co-written with Franni’s father, Ed Cash. The song is a message of grace that Franni hopes to extend not just to herself but to others.

The Archers Reimagine Career-Defining 1975 Hit “It Wouldn’t Be Enough”

Breathing new life into a fan favorite five decades after its original release, GRAMMY-winning sibling trio The Archers present a fresh rendition of their career-defining single “It Wouldn’t Be Enough.” Releasing June 27 from New Day Christian Distributors, the reimagined live track—showcasing the tenderly emotive lead vocals of Janice Archer Cruse—opens with a gentle pop groove that gives way to an impassioned, worshipful chorus.

Following its original release, “It Wouldn’t Be Enough” became a hit at both Christian and Southern Gospel radio for The Archers, who were among the leaders of the Jesus Music movement and pioneers of the emerging Contemporary Christian music scene of the 1970s.

Penned by Don Aldridge, the genre-spanning single is one of multiple standout tracks on the trio’s 1975 Light Records debut, Things We Deeply Feel—a project boasting such top Hollywood studio players as Leland Sklar (bass), Toto’s David Paich (keys) and Hal Blaine (drums).

“‘It Wouldn’t be Enough’ is definitely the breakout song of our career,” states Tim Archer. “Its success led to a dramatic increase in bookings and appearances for us, multiplying our ability to share the redemptive message of the shed blood of Christ and what He did for us on the cross. It has always been a concert anchor and a fan favorite, and to this day, it is our most requested song.”

“Our cousin, Don Aldridge, was far away from God and ‘It Wouldn’t Be Enough’ was the very first song he wrote after he gave his life to Jesus—and what a song it still is today,” says Janice Archer Cruse.

“It’s an honor and privilege to sing these lyrics and tell all who listen, once more, what Jesus did for us. His sacrifice on the cross and His blood shed means we never have to pay the price for our sins because He covered it all, once and for all! No matter what we ever do or don’t do in this life, He established our worth and our value in that moment. This is one of the greatest messages any Gospel singer could ever sing.”

“I’m hoping when people hear ‘It Wouldn’t Be Enough,’ it will remind them of the incredible value of Jesus’ sacrifice for our salvation and freedom,” adds Steve Archer. “At times in our society we are consumed by want and we are willing to pay a great price for material things.

The greatest wealth we could accumulate would not be enough to purchase a single drop of blood that Jesus shed for our salvation! The song reminds me to have a spirit of thankfulness and gratitude.”

“It Wouldn’t Be Enough” arrives on the heels of The Archers’ “Legacy Medley,” which released in April and highlights five of the group’s greatest hits. Both tracks will be featured on The Archers’ highly anticipated full-length 50th anniversary recording, Legacy Live, which is slated for release later this year.

Produced by Tim and Cynthia Archer and co-produced by Steve Archer, Michael Blanton and Janice Archer Cruse, The Archers’ Legacy Live is poised to propel the group’s captivating familial harmonies and genre-defining pop sound back to the forefront for a new generation.

Dean continues to travel and sing with Phillips, Craig & Dean as he embarks on a new season of solo artistry.

Dan Bremnes Debuts Vulnerable ‘The Hero’ EP

Dan Bremnes explores what it means to be human on The Hero. Vulnerable and self-aware, the award winner searches for the champion within, bravely probing the things that often hold us back from courageous action as he wrestles with his past and celebrates his growth on the abbreviated, yet powerful, set.

From the rock bottom honesty of “Started With You” and the autobiographical nature of “Call Your Name” to the adventurous spirit of “Cortado” and the gentle ease of “Sweet Spot,” The Hero finds Bremnes taking stock of all the moments that led him to a place of peace, joy and gratitude.

The whimsical “Sweet Spot” is the only track out of the four-song batch that wasn’t released in advance of the full EP. Bremnes recognizes a divine touch throughout ordinary days on the breezy, carefree confection, as he explores a playful falsetto across a celebration of life’s simplest moments.

Today’s initial collection serves as the first of three volumes of music Dan Bremnes is slated to release in succession and lays a solid foundation for the songs to come.
