Grammy-nominated artist and worship leader Leslie Jordan releases ‘All That I Need To Know’, a 6-track project collating songs that she helped write and were previously recorded by other artists.

The concept of this new EP shines with Leslie Jordan’s generous heart and open-mindedness. After almost ten years of being a part of All Sons & Daughters, she has been thriving in the writer’s seat since 2017 championing others to carry the songs they’ve written together.

But, as she explains, “occasionally there are songs that stick to me as well […] this is a collection of those songs.” ‘All That I Need To Know’ centers around the message that God is a safe place. Leslie embraces the doubts that come with the unrest we have all been facing since the birth of humanity, but especially in the last couple of years. She shares her journey of discovery that the Lord remains safe and unchanging through it all: “Looking back through my life, I know I can trust who God is,” she adds.

‘All That I Need To Know’ is made up of songs that deal with the nature and character of God; his goodness, consistency, presence, faithfulness, and power, as they are seen throughout scriptures, history and our lives. Each theme is developed on a sound bed of soft and detailed folk, with the artist’s smooth vocals rounding it off. Sonically, Leslie’s desire is for this project to not take up too much room, neither going too high or too low, but for these songs to be “good companions for where you are and where you’re going,” she concludes. With her new project, Leslie also reminds us that if God is a safe place, so should his people be. So should our music be. ‘All That I Need To Know’ seeks to create space for people to exist and belong without demanding anything, but simply allowing listeners to be and be reminded of who God is in the process.

Leslie Jordan – All That I Need To Know is available now.

You Find a Way, the powerful new album from Jenn Bostic is available Friday, July 15th. This will be the follow up album to her 2019 EP Take My Hand Part 1, which debuted at #11 on the Christian/Gospel iTunes chart. This project is a collaboration and passion project between Jenn Bostic and Grammy nominated songwriter and producer Lauren Christy (Avril Lavigne, Bebe Rexha, Dua Lipa, Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry).

Jenn and Lauren met after Bostic’s viral international hit Jealous of the Angels, which honors Bostic’s late father. Lauren became a mentor, collaborator, and friend to Bostic, with songwriting sessions being a beautiful way for them to share their faith. Stand out tracks from the album have already been creating a buzz, including Jealous of the Angels/Amazing Grace, a re-release of the hit, which reached Top 40 at Mainstream AC, and Top 10 on the Southern Gospel Chart. The latest single Leave it at the Cross is currently being played on 15 Christian Radio Stations around the US.

The music video release for the title track of the album is set to release Friday, July 22nd, which will be celebrated during the first leg of Bostic’s album release tour. Not only is she celebrating the birth of this album, but Jenn and her husband Michael are expecting their first child in November, making this year and the release of this album extra special.

Bostic has twice been named “International Touring Artist of the Year” by the British Country Music Association, and has won five (5) Independent Country Music Association Awards including “Best Songwriter,” “Best Musician,” and “Overall Winner.” She performs sold out shows across the US and Europe including venues such as the Ryman Auditorium, Grand Ole Opry, and Lincoln Center.

San Diego-based collective Awaken Music, from the 10,000 member, multi-campus Awaken Church, releases its sophomore, full-length album, Move Of Heaven, to digital and streaming outlets everywhere today (July 15) via The Fuel Music.

Produced by GRAMMY Award-winning Stephen Blake Kanicka (Kanye West, for KING & COUNTRY) and mixed by David Cook (Chris Tomlin, Shawn Mendes), Move Of Heaven pushes the artistic envelope with a modern pop sonic landscape mixed with spiritual warfare anthems. Leaning deeply on faith to drive action, Awaken Music intends to bring the body of Christ together when circumstances could otherwise drive them apart.

“The idea behind Move of Heaven is really to engage with God and believe that He is going to invade earth and affect change for all of us as believers,” says Awaken Church Executive Pastor Mike Yeager. “It’s a warfare album. We want all of our songs to really encourage people to move toward the front lines of the spiritual battle at hand.”

Ripe with honest and encouraging lyrics, the album features the Worship Leader-premiered lead single “Come What May,” the Awaken Conference-inspired “Revive Us” and focus track “Peter,” which is a first person account of Peter’s interaction with Jesus, his despair in failure and triumph in God’s restoration.

Along with the music, Move of Heaven expands on the concept of spiritual battle in its visual components. In addition to Awaken Music releasing stylized performance videos for each song, its new album’s cover is derived from the painting The battle of Marciano in Val di Chiana by Giorgio Vasari.

Yeager, who has a PHD in structural engineering and spent time in Florence, Italy studying cultural heritage and structural assessments of buildings and monuments before joining the Awaken Music team, shares how in the back of Vasari’s original fresco painting, there is a small green flag that says “cerca trova,” which means “seek and you shall find.” The wall of this painting is rumored to have been placed in front of, with an approximately six inch gap, the unseen painting by Leonardo da Vinci, The battle of Anghiari.

“Many believe Vasari left a clue to this hidden painting with the flag, alluding to the priceless treasure behind the depiction of battle. The idea of treasure and beauty waiting just inches past a war is much like the experience of Christians,” Yeager notes. “That’s one of the beauties of the Christian life, especially for us at Awaken Church. We talk a lot about ‘the battle’ and ‘the fight,’ but the paradox is that the more we’re engaged in spiritual warfare, the more we actually find rest.”

Exploring that paradox, Awaken Music’s Move of Heaven is a project that is meant to impact culture and inspire changed lives. “God is active, so the church and the music should be as well,” Yeager emphasizes.

The debut album from singer, songwriter, and performing artist Ryan Ellis is out now (Provident Label Group/Sony Music). The self-titled project (listen HERE) features six songs from his 2021 EP, Episode I (“Heart Of The Father,” “Keep My Eyes Up”), along with seven additional tracks such as “Son Of David” featuring Brandon Lake and his new radio single “All My Praise.”

The entire project, which showcases Ellis’ giant vocals and musicality, is a mood-lifting ride of truth, vulnerability, and encouragement. “What I want people to take away from this project is a deep relationship with the Lord,” he says. “I want them to be able to have conversation starters, to be able to jam out in the car but at the same time be thinking about heart stuff. I would love to be able to empower them wherever they feel in life, to empower them to take risks and be creative and go deeper in all relationships.”

Ellis is able to share his musical talents live on the Kingdom Tour: Maverick City Music x Kirk Franklin while performing with Housefires, which runs through the first week of August. Click here to find a tour stop near you.

Equippers Worship is proud to announce the release of their album Still Waters & Shadows (DREAM Worship).  The Aukland, New Zealand worship team for Equippers Church recently started pre-orders for the album that also saw their new track “Fall Afresh” release as both an instant gratification and an individual single release to all digital service providers. Songs from the album were produced by Joshua Huirua, Kepz Tumai, and Kenan Stephenson.

“Still Waters & Shadows is a collection of worship songs that were largely inspired by Psalm 23. We felt led to this passage of scripture and we trust that God has a purpose for these songs. We have loved singing some of these songs with our church and we are so excited to share them with everyone. We pray that these songs help to connect people with Jesus.” – Kenan Stephenson, Equippers Worship

Still Waters & Shadows is available now.

Melanie Penn releases her sixth studio album with the long-awaited music video for the feature track, “Follow You.” The beautiful and unique video began as a concept from Aaron Craig, the founder of We Are Films, who is also Penn’s long-time cinematographer and video producer.

He suggested filming the video in Iceland and Penn was immediately on board. The two-day shoot embraced the vivid contrasts of climate and geography, while sparkling glaciers, rugged mountain ranges and hot geysers made an impactful background for the video. When you add in Penn’s beautiful vocals and lyrics, it really becomes a work of art.

“I’m so excited to bring you a video that was months in the making. From the start, we knew we wanted to capture a journey through the wilderness—something all of us can relate to from the last two years,” said Penn. “May this video bring you a painting in motion for ‘Follow You,’ and bring you comfort as you follow where God leads you.”

Fans will be able to view the “Follow You” music video at Spirit TV, The Christian Beat, JubileeCast and NRB TV will play the video on July 18, 21 and 22.

At the same time, the video has such a great connection with the song that was co-written by Penn and the song’s producer, Ben Shive. “Follow You” spotlights the musical message describing how we deal with the emotions of our heart that can eventually become an open door from God. Like a pillar of fire/That lights my way/Your love leads like a cloud by day/It’s Your voice I’m listening to/If You say “go” I will follow You/
I’ll follow You.

Penn’s journey with the songs and music of her new album, More Alive Vol. 2, comes with heartbreak, since the music was written during the long Covid era when she was caring for her father’s battle with cancer, who eventually passed away in 2021. However, it is evident that the strength of Penn’s faith poured into her songs.
