Sensational Gospel Artist Rume returns with her debut EP, Of Christ, after releasing her first single, Faithful, earlier this month.
Rume is thrilled to share this EP with the world. She indicated the following about the EP:
Of Christ, EP contains songs that have themes centred on Christ. The songs are timely for Believers in the world right now as they remind us to focus on Christ, the author and finisher of our faith.
The first song, Faithful, speaks about the believer’s joy regardless of their situations because God is always faithful and good to us. Hence, we can tell others about how Faithful and Constant the God we serve is!
Thy Will Be Done speaks about God’s plan for Jesus to die for us so that we can have eternal life. It is also a prayer that more than our ambitions, hopes and dreams, God’s will is above ours and must be fulfilled in our lives.
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus is a fantastic classic that reminds us to shift our focus to who matters: Jesus. Life will keep happening, but as long as we look to Jesus, we can rest in the knowledge that He is in control.
Fill This House speaks about the Believer needing and enjoying the presence of God. It suggests our surrender to God as living sacrifices and our promise to place Him in the center of the life he has given us.
Collaborating with renowned Music director Emmanuel Awipi and record label boss and songwriter Mama Tee, Rume hopes this EP will encourage people during the trials and tribulations the world is facing and seeks to remind people to continue to hold on to Jesus.
Gospel Music Sensation, Rume Releases Long-anticipated Ep “of Christ”
One thing that makes CalledOut Music stand out is its versatility. His range is evident in his first Afrobeats project and fifth EP. In ‘RADICAL’, CalledOut Music takes a deep, personal, and intimate dive into the conflicted motions of Christianity.
Every detail of this experience was carefully planned – taking listeners on a song-to-song journey from the day a person turns their life over to God, to the struggles and victories they face, to the final reward they receive.
The EP is composed of the first track “Loved By You,” an introspective song that explores the enduring nature of God’s love, and five other distinct tunes, “Day By Day,” “Coming To Pass,” “Greatest,” “Never Die Gang” and “Ready.” The intentionality of each track will make it difficult for listeners to pick favorites.
“The overall message that I would love people to take from this EP is that it’s okay to live radically for Christ, it’s okay to love God intensely; to lean into Him, and grow in Him.”
CalledOut Music and Hillsplay have truly crafted a magnetic EP that all listeners can find happiness and comfort in. Giving credit where credit is due, he shares that his father was instrumental in the creation of this project.
“Some of the songs on the project were birthed from conversations with pops!,” he says. “Till this very day, my dad shows me what it means to be Radical. I can’t explain how big a role he has played in my life, so much that He made a young Samuel dedicate his whole life to Jesus,” he continues.
Calledout Music Unveils His Newest Musical Project, a 6-track Ep That’s an Ode to Authentic Freedom – ‘Radical’
The new project is inspired by the collective’s love for the hymnal tradition and their passion to reignite fresh songs in line with this rich Church heritage. It features six songs that are all meditations on how Christ compels us to love him by loving one another.
Recorded live in one take as friends gathered around a piano and an acoustic guitar, the project sought to incorporate an element of “call-and-response” at its core. This detail is meant to encourage listeners to actively participate in singing, and to do so particularly in community. “It’s a beautiful river of friendship and melody, winding down the hill from the wellspring of Scripture,” said Andrew Osenga, founder of Anchor Hymns.
“The Beauty of The Heart of Christ” is rooted in 1 John 3:16, “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us […]” encouraging listeners towards a response of mercy and generous living out of the abundance of God’s love.
Leading school assemblies followed by evening, full-production concerts coast-to-coast, Indiana-based pop/rock band Attaboy releases the danceable pop track “Golden”.

“‘Golden’ is a call to light up the darkness wherever you go,” says Payne. “As a band, we get to shine light into dark places when we perform in public schools where students are hurting and in need of hope. We want ‘Golden’ to put a smile on your face and inspire you to break through the darkness and light up your world.”

5X GRAMMY® Award-winner Brandon Lake has released his highly anticipated 16-track new album, COAT OF MANY COLORS, today across all digital and streaming platforms. The new project features already-released tracks including, “PRAISE YOU ANYWHERE,” which broke streaming records on Amazon Music and earlier this week hit number one on the Christian Audience Chart.
Also included is “TEAR OFF THE ROOF,” in which the music video depicts scenes from the hit TV show The Chosen showcasing Jesus’ miracles at work. The album cover features Lake donning his very own coat of many colors inspired by taking “rags” and turning them into “riches.” The coat was designed by Greg Lauren, the nephew of the legendary Ralph Lauren.
“In many ways, we are all wrapped in a coat of many colors – we are clothed in the Father’s love and in his pride for us, and every one of us is his favorite,” Lake explains.
“We see in the story of Joseph’s life that he was misunderstood, he had dreams that got him in trouble, and he had to go through the process of trusting his dreams and being faithful to God. Joseph went from a pit to a palace, and this album explores that theme heavily.”
