AOH Music, (vocalist Brianne Nealon, drummer Jimmy Meier, and guitarist/producer Jack Garno) completes its debut EP, Live At Ocean Way Nashville, with the release of the project’s third track, “Light of the World,” on May 12.

Recorded at the historic Ocean Way studios in Nashville and accompanied by a string quartet, the band performed each song live while it was recorded and filmed.

“The Holy Spirit moved within the musicians that night, and it was captured inside those recordings,” the band says. “God created this Earth for us to live and live abundantly, sharing in His overflowing love, grace, and goodness.

He calls us through the Great Commission to be the light of Christ to those around us. Our testimonies have power and allow Christ’s light to shine through in all situations (Matthew 5:14-16). Jesus is the only one who can change hearts and renew minds.

Through Him and by Him all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). Out of Christ’s Holiness and Love, He exposes the darkness and makes it known to us. ‘Light of the World’ is a reminder for us to LOOK UP to the Lord in all situations, to turn our eyes upon Him, for Jesus is the world’s light!”

Katie Arrington, a rising star in the world of Christian music, has released her EP on all major streaming outlets. The EP, which includes six songs, showcases Arrington’s talent as a singer and songwriter and her deep faith in God.

Arrington’s journey in music started in her youth group and church choir, where she began singing and playing guitar. She started writing her own worship songs at 14 and played them for her local church. After taking a break to pursue her education and start a family, Arrington started leading worship again regularly in 2018.

As she gained confidence as a solo performer, more worship songs flowed out this season as a worship leader.

Despite having no formal music training, Arrington’s experiences leading worship have taught her everything she needs to know about music. Her lyrics are deeply grounded in Scripture, and her style ranges from folk to hymn-like songs.

Matt Redman inspires Arrington as a songwriter, and Audrey Assad’s beautiful, contemplative style of worship songs has also shaped her development as a musician.

Arrington’s first single, “Blessed Is the One,” debuted at No. 2 on CRC Weekly, and “My God, My God” debuted at #1 on CRC Weekly. Three of the songs on her EP received honorable mentions in the 2022 SongDoor competition.

The EP features six songs, including “Blessed Is the One,” “Home,” “Perfect Trinity,” “My God, My God,” “Our Blessed Redeemer,” and “As I Lay Down to Rest.” Each song is closely connected to a passage from the Bible, and Arrington’s lyrics are deeply grounded in God’s Word.

Arrington’s willingness to delve into difficult topics in her music sets her apart from other Christian music artists. Her songs reflect the wide range of emotions captured in the Psalms, and almost all of her songs are directly linked to a passage from the Bible.

Arrington’s music is a source of comfort and hope for listeners.

“I strive to be faithful to share the songs God has entrusted me with,” said Arrington. “My hope is that my music will be a source of comfort and hope for anyone who listens to it.”

Since its release, Where The Glory Is, has surpassed 9 million streams in the United States alone. Listen to Narrow Road – Acoustic Sessions

“This acoustic EP is so special to me,” shares Josh. “Playing songs like this, broken down in these acoustic forms, is when I feel like my most authentic self and I think they have become the truest form of me as an artist. Getting to share them in this way is special because, for most of these songs, this is how they were written.

They started just me and an acoustic guitar, so to keep them in that vein and play them in the original way that they came out, feels authentic to me and to the songs. That’s why I’m really excited for people to hear these broken down, raw versions of these songs.”

Josh Baldwin is a songwriter and worship leader who joined the Bethel Music Collective in 2014. Josh is known for his songs “Praises”, featured on Bethel Music’s Have it All, “You Deserve It All”, from his solo project Rivers, and “Stand in Your Love”, a song featured on Bethel Music’s album VICTORY (2019) which reached #2 on the Christian Billboard charts. His latest album, Where the Glory Is (2022), is a reflection of his journey with the Lord and a return to the roots of pure worship.

This album’s lead single, “There Is Freedom”, reached No. 21 on the Billboard Hot Christian Adult Contemporary chart and No. 30 on the Hot Christian Songs chart and the album has received over 9 million streams across digital platforms in the US.

He has appeared on numerous Bethel Music albums including VICTORY (2019), Peace (2020), Homecoming (2021), and most recently on Come Up Here (2023) with his song “Time and Time Again”.

Today Brooke Ligertwood, GRAMMY®-Award-winning songwriter, producer, and worship leader releases, SIETE (LIVE), a special Spanish EP featuring songs from her critically acclaimed album, SEVEN (LIVE). This Spanish EP features five songs from her 2022 album and includes special guest Brandon Lake on “La Roca Tiene Meil (Honey In The Rock) [Live].”

“I first worked with my friend Toni Romero in 2005 when he first translated one of my songs into Spanish and then coached me in the studio singing it in this beautiful language that my heart knew but my mind and tongue did not,” shares Brooke Ligertwood.

“In the years since we’ve worked on a ton of translation work together, so it made sense that when it came to translating some of the songs of SEVEN into Espanol, I would turn to Toni and his team, including recording a choir in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I hope all our Spanish-speaking friends are blessed by this EP we’ve poured so much love and care into. To God be the glory!”

Ligertwood’s critically acclaimed 2022 album, SEVEN (Live), has garnered more than 120 million global streams since its release. The lead single, “A Thousand Hallelujahs,” from that album has amassed more than 30 million global streams and made four international Top 50 viral charts.

As a prolific songwriter, Ligertwood’s songs have more than 1.5 billion global streams and have been translated into over 15 languages.

Her songs have topped the CCLI chart with two No. 1 songs and several Top 25 worship songs that have been sung around the world like “What A Beautiful Name,” “Who You Say I Am,” “King of Kings,” “Hosanna” and more. With her songwriting, she has been honored with a GRAMMY Award, one RIAA Platinum-certified single, and two RIAA Gold-certified singles.

Along with the full Planetshakers band, the voices of thousands attending the conference are heard loudly rejoicing, expressing their heartfelt worship in the nine-minute-plus anthem. The song pushes the emotive, dynamic boundaries of worship.

“When you are thinking about the encounters with the Glory of God that you read about in the scriptures, and then you are thinking about now – what would that sound like?” asks Harrison in an Instagram post.“There’s an awe, the glory is here,” answers Ham in the post. “That is the kind of feeling that we wanted to capture.”

“Every time we sing ‘Show Me Your Glory,’ it’s like Bam! God is there,” expresses Sam Evans. “It’s a breather, it’s a space for people to go ‘I’m encountering Him, I’m hearing Him.’”

“Just as Moses would not go anywhere unless God’s presence accompanied him, we have that same heart’s cry,” says Pastor Russell Evans. “At this year’s conference, people from all over Australia and the world came together with that common passion.”

The new track follows the release of Planetshakers’ first radio single of 2023,

“The Rock,” goes for adds and is meant to bring hope and encouragement to people around the world. Featuring Hunt on lead vocals, “The Rock” was co-written by Hunt along with GRAMMY-nominated and Dove Award-winning Jordan Sapp (who also produced the track) and Krissy Nordhoff.

Taking the new music and fan favorites on the road internationally, Planetshakers’ Show Me Your Glory tour stops in Krakow, Poland (June 21), Amsterdam, Netherlands (June 23, 24), Le Blanc-Mesnil, France (June 25) and Manila, Philippines (July 22) before traveling to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for back-to-back sold out events July 28 and 29.
