In October 2021, we brought you the first volume of Young Pop Renegades, and now in 2023, WE’RE BACK! “Young Pop Renegades Vol. 2” releases May 19, the product of many months of work by 13 different artists who are all independent, passionate–and most of all–incredibly talented and underrated.
Matthew Parker, The brainchild of Pop/EDM, the idea of this project is to create a small community of very talented young pop artists who can collaborate together and be a bit of a “who’s who” of our independent pop circle.
Volume 2 sees most of the artist lineup returning from the first album, but also quite a few new faces, including Mykyl, GLADDEN, CieMie, Ike Smith, and Logan Martin. This year’s album continues the tradition of the “mega collab” as we call it, a massive collaboration with all 13 artists on a single song, and it is once again the final track on the album.

In January of this year, 10 of the 13 artists on YPR 2 were able to meet up together in Nashville for a few days of writing songs for this year’s album, and it was an incredible time of hanging out, writing together in person, and getting to know each other face to face for those of us who weren’t already friends. It was also a great opportunity to boost that sense of community and collaboration that Young Pop Renegades is all about. We came up with some great songs and I think you’ll agree!
Pop/EDM artist Sam Bowman says, “It was such a blast to work with these twelve guys on the newest Young Pop Renegades record. This album isn’t just a sonically unique project that pushes the creative envelope even more than our first album did, but it was another chance for me to write and create with some good friends. We’re beyond proud of what we’ve made, and we can’t wait to share it.”
What would happen if we began to believe that God could do the miraculous through us? Can you imagine what might happen? These are the questions GRAMMY® Award-winning collective Elevation Worship asks on their anticipated 15th career project, CAN YOU IMAGINE? With these eight new live songs, they are poised to reignite the hearts of believers.
“More Than Able” was the album’s first song to release, a powerful anthem led by Chandler Moore and Tiffany Hudson, followed by “Trust In God (feat. Chris Brown),” which weaves in lyrics from the hymn “Blessed Assurance” with modern language resulting in a declaration of choosing to trust God.
Both songs were accompanied by live performance videos and along with today’s album release, the group dropped their latest video for “Jehovah,” which can be viewed below.

“We want someone to listen to this album and know that God is still writing their story,” Elevation Worship singer and songwriter Chris Brown explains. “Our hope is that these songs will not only point people to the wonder and greatness of God but stir an awareness of his goodness and how lovingly he’s involved in the details of our lives.”
Concertgoers this spring were able to hear a few of the new songs from CAN YOU IMAGINE? during the “Elevation Nights” spring tour with Pastor Steven Furtick, which just wrapped earlier this month. The spring leg brought in more than 75,000 attendees, with their Toronto tour stop breaking records as the largest ticketed Christian event in Canadian history.
Since the “Elevation Nights” tour began in the fall of 2021, it has visited 32 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada, each stop sharing an unforgettable and life-changing evening with more than 311,000 in attendance to date.
It was recently announced that three new summer dates were added before the fall leg begins on Oct. 3 in Miami. Visit ElevationNights.com for the most updated tour schedule.

Sharing more in-depth aboutSURVEY: Part 1, the ever-creative Cook states, “I love the idea of surveying the landscape of one’s life, ideas of God, emotions, faith, hopes, disasters, fears, joys, the list goes on and on.

She went on to break another record when the LP reached 100 weeks at No. 1 on the Top Christian Albums chart, which is the greatest number of weeks that any artist has spent at the top of any individual album chart. Similarly, “You Say” is the longest-running No. 1 to appear on any weekly Billboard chart. Born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Daigle is a two-time Grammy, seven-time Billboard Music Award, four-time American Music Award, and ten-time GMA Dove Music Award winner.
Off stage, Daigle remains committed to investing her time to promote music education, work with at-risk youth, and provide care for children, the elderly, and those in need through The Price Fund, an organization she founded in 2018. To date, she has distributed over $2.5 million to 42 nonprofits around the world.

ICF Worship’s latest project is called “Miracles” – a title chosen to communicate the Swiss band’s conviction that God still wants to do signs and wonders today and among us. “We want to strengthen the faith of the Church to hold on to the promises of God,” says band leader Dave Kull.
Introduced with a brand new song inspired by Psalm 46, “Above All Else,” ICF Worship’s new EP speaks directly to the hopeless atmosphere that can easily tempt us to despair.
It sets up the scene for the 5-track EP, a collection of celebratory songs around the theme of God’s miraculous power and encouragement for the Church to lean into His goodness and faithfulness. With “Miracles,” ICF Worship prays to inspire their listeners to follow God wholeheartedly and run the good race, as Kull concludes: “Whether you’re in a season of victory or facing a difficult challenge, [may] this album remind you of God’s ability to do the impossible.”
