FAITHFUL’s live album ‘Go And Speak’ features recordings from the 2021 livestream event where members of the FAITHFUL community creatively shared God’s faithfulness to women throughout Scripture.
The FAITHFUL Project is a collection of stories, music, lyrics, and art created and curated by many of today’s thought-provoking and influential female Christian artists and authors. ‘Go And Speak (Live)’ encourages women by inspiring them to spread the Gospel of Christ, just as they have been doing for millennia. Whether it is through song or deed, FAITHFUL remind us that we all have a voice in the Kingdom of God.
The live album was recorded in intimate settings at Nashville’s Ocean Way Studios, as a group of artists gathered in the room singing along. ‘Go And Speak (Live)’ encapsulates the energy and excitement of what the Lord is doing in our time. Featured on the Today show, this unprecedented collaboration between artists and authors has led to a stunning collection of poetry and resonance through song.
After their 2021 EP ‘Let’s Have Church’ touched many hearts around the nation and beyond, this album is the culmination of years’ worth of conversations amongst the Californian worship team about life, theology, society, and values.
‘Pour Your Spirit Out’ encapsulates who Thrive Worship are at their core: people who are earnestly and honestly seeking the Lord whilst wrestling with questions and seeing through a window dimly. Yet, their hope remains strong and is expressed with songs that are deeply personal and speak of glimpses into eternity – where the unthinkable awe and wonder of the Lord on the throne, the incredible hope of the Gospel, the unimaginable joy and love we have in Jesus – shines through.
‘Pour Your Spirit Out’ seeks to lead the Church in worship that transpires with the Spirit and the truth. With this new album, Thrive Worship hope not only to encourage but to create worshippers. Worship leader Corbin Phillips concludes, “We hope this project offers something ancient and sacred and yet something new and refreshing by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Red Rocks Worship announces the release of Things Of Heaven: The Other Side, their new project that offers alternate versions of the songs from 2021’s Things Of Heaven. Listen HERE to the project. Taking six songs and completely reimagining them without any pre-production, each new recording was captured in an intimate setting with the group offering their own ideas, giving them an opportunity to organically collaborate like never before.
Red Rock Worship’s Kory Miller shared, “From the beginning to the very end, it was very collaborative. We didn’t create any demos to get the ball rolling, we just put our whole band in a room and said, ‘Ok, let’s start from scratch and let’s see what happens. And they came up with some fire ideas. It was just so good.”
Red Rocks Worship made sure to include their stand-out song, “Breakthrough,” which has more than 33 million streams life to date, along with the raw title track, which was performed with Elyssa Smith from Upperroom. Additionally, each song is accompanied by one-take videos capturing the depth and emotions of each song. Two of the videos are below, “Things Of Heaven” featuring Smith and “Echo Holy.”
To share their songs, Red Rocks Worship launched their first-ever headlining tour, Things Of Heaven Tour, this week, touring Texas and Oklahoma.

Selah release their awaited international EP, ‘One Name’, on Friday 29th April. With tracks from all over the world translated into English – from Brazil to France, India and Indonesia, to the Netherlands and Sweden – Selah honour international songwriters and artists whose songs glorify the Lord with their new project.
The concept of ‘One Name’ was birthed in a conversation with Integrity Music President Jonathan Brown as Selah’s Todd Smith shared his desire to champion nations to worship with homegrown songs. Growing up in a Missionary family in the Congo, Africa, Todd remembers times of worship vividly: “I would go to villages with my father and people would sing songs such as ‘It Is Well’ and ‘Amazing Grace,’ but when their choirs started song they wrote, a different passion would arise.”
Amid societal and ecclesiological division, Selah hope to inspire reconciliation in the Body of Christ. Sonically, ‘One Name’ encompasses a wide variety of genres as a reflection of the cultural diversity of the nations represented through these songs. ‘Glory Hallelujah’ and ‘Jesus Victorious’ display big power vocals whilst ‘So Beautiful’ and ‘God of Ages’ are tender and gentle. The title track, from India, is marked by an undeniable colourful energy whilst ‘Crying Holy’ sounds like Swedish pop songs that have had such a big influence musically in the USA. With ‘One Name,’ Selah desire to see the wide-ranging beauty of the Kingdom of God infiltrate English-speaking churches.
New Day Records group The Sound comprised of Rob Mills and his two sons, Levi and Jacob, released their brand-new, full-length album God Is Real today, April 29, 2022.

God Is Real features ten tracks produced by Barry Weeks. The Sound commented on the making of the album saying, “When we began writing our second album, we asked ourselves this question: ‘In what ways do we experience the presence of God in our lives?’” The group’s thoughtful pondering of this question is precisely what lead to the songs brought to life on this album.
The title track off God Is Real was released April 1, 2022 and the group professes in the chorus, “There’s no way to deny the difference that He made inside of me.” The chart-topping trio continues to proclaim that God Is Real throughout the remainder of the album.

Today, Multi-award-winning and platinum-selling artist UNITED releases their brand-new album “Are We There Yet?” Recorded between Orange County, CA and Sydney Australia, the highly anticipated 15-track project includes previously released singles “Know You Will,” “Sure Thing” and “On Repeat,” which have collectively received over 50M global streams to date. In anticipation of the new album, UNITED unveiled three brand new songs from the compilation, including “Blown Away,” “God Song,” and “Show Me Your Heart,” along with a music video for “Blown Away” earlier this month.
“‘Are We There Yet?’ embodies the feeling of ‘all this future,’ says UNITED’s Joel Houston. “It is heavily entrenched in realizing, re-ideating, and repositioning heaven with songs birthed from a place of knowing that this part of the story is not the main part, and we have the gift of joy that is heaven no matter what our human experience is now. It’s hopeful, it feels like the sun going down on a really long day, and excitement about what tomorrow could bring even though the sun hasn’t come up yet. The journey of the album is set between the sun setting and rising. What you’re leaving behind and what you’re about to step into.”
Adds Houston, “Wherever we are in this journey of life, we have eternity ahead of us, and may find ourselves often wondering when we will make it. ‘Are We There Yet?’ explores the challenges, heartache, and magnificence of this life of faith, and the jaw-dropping, overwhelming wonder of the grace of God.”
In conjunction with their new album, fans can catch UNITED on the multi-city co-headline Tomlin UNITED Tour that kicked off in San Diego to a packed house and has since played for thousands of fans in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Miami and Dallas.
