[Album] I Love Jesus – Mac Powell

Award-winning artist and songwriter Mac Powell has released his new album I Love Jesus today celebrating the simple gospel message of what God has done in his life.

“With I Love Jesus I wanted to return to the simplicity of what I do,” shares Mac Powell. “The gospel is a simple truth and I wanted to share that in simple songs that remind us of the love of Jesus.”

Excited about this album and believing this could be his best work to date, Powell returned to the simplicity of what he does with three or four-chord songs sharing this core message. He stripped away the pressure of trying to make something fit into an ideal of what would be a hit single or a trend and returned to what he loves to share. The 11-track album features the released songs “Like It’s Nothing,” “Good News,” “Keep On Keepin’ On” and the title track.

Powell also contributed to the design of the album’s cover artwork, another example of his passion for art. Last year, he released his first book, The Soul Shines Through—The Surprising Spiritual Influences on Modern Artists. This full-color volume reveals often unknown secrets about the lives of well-known artists such as Van Gogh, Picasso, Warhol, and Chagall.

Inspired by many museum visits over the years and research, it was co-written with Keith Ogorek and reached the Top 10 in Religious Arts and Photography on Amazon.

I Love Jesus is Powell’s second solo CCM project after his acclaimed three-decade career as the co-founder and frontman of GRAMMY-Award-winning rock band Third Day. His solo debut, New Creation, landed at the top of the Christian & Gospel chart, and produced the hit radio singles “New Creation” and “River of Life.”

Powell is currently on “The Awakening Tour” followed by the “United We Worship” tour with Danny Gokey, Tasha Layton, and Seph Schlueter.

“Making music should be fun. Especially when I have fewer records in front of me than behind me,” shares Martin Smith. “You have to have a stronger conviction that it’s worth going through the process and that you believe you have something to ‘say’. After covid, a blanket of ‘sadness’ seemed to rest on everyone. My hope and prayer is that when you listen to this music you find the courage to break free from that. That you find the courage to dance again, to lift your head, to laugh at yourself, to find JOY again.”

Martin Smith has penned many of the church’s most loved songs while shaping the modern worship scene. The former frontman of the top-charting band Delirious? and multi-GMA Dove Award® winner has toured worldwide in his vast career, performing in arenas and stadiums to millions of people, including Glastonbury Festival’s main stage. 

He has also toured with Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams and most recently opened for Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes on their “The Blessing” European tour. Smith has also appeared in Nashville for both the “Worship Together” conference and at Bridgestone Arena for “The Send” conference.

“Everybody has a story… a testimony… Some may not be as dramatic as others. Most are not ‘Damascus Road’ experiences, but everyone has a story… and that story needs to be heard, to encourage someone else on their journey.  We hope the songs on this new album will encourage listeners to share their unique story of how God worked in their life.  It could be THE story someone needs to hear,” states group founder, Gerald Wolfe.

“Greater Vision’s Your Story is nothing short of a masterpiece! Gerald and the guys know how to pick songs, and these songs are each created and chosen with such care. The production, led by Trey Ivey and Gerald Wolfe, is absolutely top-notch. This project beautifully weaves the message of Jesus into each note and lyric, touching on the stories that resonate with us all. 

Your Story is bound to reach countless hearts, reminding us of the hope and love found in Jesus. It’s an album that not only inspires but also invites listeners to reflect on their own stories in light of His grace. This project is true first class, HEART Music. We are so honored to help get this music out to the many who need to hear it,” states Dusty Wells, Director of Artist Relations.

Aodhán King Surprises Fans With Release Of Debut Album ‘Beyond Us’

Singer/songwriter and worship leader Aodhán King made a surprise drop today, unveiling his first solo full-length album titled Beyond Us. The project features 13 captivating tracks, including his latest singles, “Thank You So Much Jesus,” “WITHOUT YOU,” and “PRAY YOU NEVER LEAVE.” Beyond Us, distributed through Anotherland Records and Capitol Christian Music Group, features guest artists, including Paul Klein of LANY, Grammy award-winner Lauren Daigle, English singer/songwriter Griff, and Camp Hideout’s Jenna Raine.

In Beyond Us, King draws on his own experience of navigating life’s unpredictability. He reflects on the years spent learning, unlearning, making mistakes, and facing countless moments of indecision. The album was born out of King’s personal challenges, including moving countries alone in the middle of a pandemic, the disintegration of his church community, and the unraveling of all that he once considered certain. Through these experiences, King came to a deeper understanding of faith, realizing the vast difference between his own human logic and the boundless wisdom of God.

Stream Full Album Below

“So much of life feels out of our control,” King shares. “There’s an infinite gap between our logic and that of God, but through creating this album, I’ve discovered the power of abdication from my own will and the freedom that comes from leaning into His boundless wisdom and love that surpasses all understanding. It’s way over our heads, beyond us in every way, yet in reach should we choose to trust Him.”

A pivotal moment for King occurred in early 2022 while visiting Dublin, Ireland, where his father encouraged him to explore the Vale of Avoca. The tranquil confluence of two rivers inspired King to reflect on his own faith journey. The meeting of the waters became a metaphor for what it means to know God—a collision, purification, and redirection.

This transformative experience led King to pivot from a previous project and begin work on Beyond Us. Through his music, King hopes to create a sacred space where people can come together in worship, with their questions, doubts, and affections for Jesus.

Stream & Enjoy

“God’s extravagant love and kindness aren’t just beyond me, they’re beyond all of us,” King explains. “This album is my attempt to unite us under a God who is greater than anything we could ever imagine and to invite everyone into a space of worship, surrender, and community.”

Beyond Us brings together a diverse range of voices and perspectives, with King co-writing and producing with some of his closest friends including Ben Tan, Jason Ingram among many others.

While Beyond Us is Aodhán’s first album as a solo artist, he has found success in the music industry by being in the two-time GRAMMY-nominated band Hillsong Young & Free, garnering over 1.2 billion streams in North America, multiple #1 singles, and performances at over 225 live events worldwide.
