Grammy Award-winning rock band Switchfoot debuts a new LP The Beautiful Letdown (Our Version) to celebrate their triple platinum album’s 20th anniversary. The new record features re-recordings of chart-topping hits like “Meant To Live” (160M streams) & “Dare You To Move” (235M streams) and more.

Alongside the album, Switchfoot also recently announced a massive 30+ date tour of North America, which is set to kick off at the tail end of Summer. This tour sees them playing major markets like Chicago, Boston, Orlando, Detroit, Seattle, and more and marks the first time the band will play The Beautiful Letdown from front to back in its entirety.

The underdog success story of the LP exemplifies Switchfoot’s iconoclast, grassroots approach, defying the odds of major labels and mainstream media. Produced by now legendary industry giant John Fields (Brandie Carlile, Jimmy Eat World, Ben Rector), The Beautiful Letdown was a ground-breaking achievement for the Southern California-based rock outfit – selling over 3M copies and garnering over 550M global streams.

When the band began the recording process in 2003, they had signed with a record label to release the collection of songs, preparing them for the biggest stages and audiences they’d ever known. But when their dream took a turn, and the record label dropped them, the rejection brought on fears and doubts like never before.

“Do we believe in these tunes? Are these songs still worthwhile? Ultimately, we came to the conclusion that the record label’s opinion didn’t matter. We believed in these songs. And no record company logo or opinion could take that away. We decided to do what we had always done: singing in spite of whatever opposition we might face, paving our own road, and finding a way forward,” lead singer and guitarist Jon Foreman reminisce.

The band released the record on an indie label where it garnered critical acclaim and immense industry support. From hearing their songs on the radio worldwide to debuting videos with MTV and Late Night TV – The Beautiful Letdown put Switchfoot on the map. It solidified them as one of the most iconic 2000s alternative bands. 

Drummer Chad Butler recalls, “Looking back, I realize the album was aptly titled – The Beautiful Letdown embraced a human story equally full of highs and lows.” 

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Beautiful Letdown, the band realizes just how important that rollercoaster was. “The journey of The Beautiful Letdown reminded us why we started playing music in the first place. It united us and gave us a deep appreciation for each other and the people that showed up to sing with us.”

Grammy® Award-winning Roc Nation artist VICTORY drops her highly anticipated sophomore album, “Glory Hour” today. The new album showcases the singer/songwriter’s distinct vocals and offers a deeply felt and earnest collection of songs that seek to uplift the soul in dark times.

Bluesy and soulful, VICTORY, who originally hails from Detroit, Michigan, brings the full measure of her talent to music that blends gospel, blues, folk, pop, and soul musical styles. 

From the start of her career, VICTORY has always been about finding fresh ways to express her truth, and though musically grounded in her unique R&B fusion style, “Glory Hour” is a bold and inspirational 18-track collection that marks her first official foray into gospel music. 

Produced by Kaleb Moten, VICTORY set the tone for the stylistically eclectic album and features singles “Just Like In Heaven” and “El Shaddai”, which has garnered 1.2M views and close to half a million streams.  VICTORY will also have special live performances starting May 11 on her “Revealed Tour” in Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle, San Francisco, and Nashville.

VICTORY wrote, recorded, and co-produced the new project at The Secret Place, the New Jersey-based studio she opened in early 2020, and penned her tunes on a baby grand piano. On “Glory Hour,” the singer-songwriter plays multiple instruments, from the piano on her ballad “Glory to God”;  to acoustic guitar on “Just Like in Heaven.”

The album also includes the choir and blues-infused “Rejoice,” and classic hymns such as “His Eye is On The Sparrow,” and “Great is Thy Faithfulness.” The victory was accompanied by an ensemble of musicians on tracks produced by Kaleb Moten, Space Jones, and Grammy® Award winner Stephen Blake Kanicka.

Says VICTORY, “My last album came out in 2018, and after five years of what felt like setbacks, I can now see that this journey was the necessary process for the cultivation of these songs.

With the new album, the listener will hear of the grace of God that carried me through every test and trial. May everyone be inspired with hope listening to ‘Glory Hour.’”

Drawing from an array of British artists, songwriters, and worship leaders come 10 homegrown songs marked by raw musicality and folksy vibes. Through this new creative multi-artist community is born a desire for revival – to hear voices all around the world singing in their local context.

The new album’s lead track, “Send the Rain,” encapsulates not only a unified prayer of faith for culture change but also propels the listeners forward into action. With every chorus chant there lies hope that God will fulfill His promises right where we stand today.

Songs From The Soil Launches, Serving both as melodies of pastoral care and prophetic challenge, these acoustic-led songs encourage the Church to write anew within its local contexts. Filled with emotion and folk sounds, these songs are united by one shared vision: to cultivate beauty in the context of local worship.

‘Refuge – Live’ is the latest song to be released by Luke Wareham. The song is part of Luke’s new live EP (coming June 23 rd ). ‘Refuge’ has been produced by Ollie Morris and is to be released on the 5th of May. Luke has a passion for writing songs that speak to people’s everyday life situations.

When speaking about the new live recording he says ‘our hope in recording these songs is that they will help people to fix their eyes on Jesus. The evening of worship where we recorded these songs was a special time when freedom was released in the room as we gazed at Jesus.

As we recorded the songs from the beginning we had 2 Corinthians 4:18 in mind and it has really spoken to me this year. It says ‘So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.’

‘Refuge’ is inspired by a journey of grief in Luke’s and his wife’s life through the experience of losing loved ones to terminal illness. He says that ‘we can walk through life knowing that we never go through our struggles alone, as we have a God who will never leave us. Jesus sees us, weeps with us, and longs to draw close to us.

As people listen and worship this song we hope that it would help to draw people near to God and trust in him. Co-writer Matt says ‘We are really excited about this song, mainly the truth behind it is that Jesus is our refuge, he is our rock, he is our hiding place. If there is a message we need to hold onto it is that.

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!”
