Christian pop singer-songwriter Josh Wright stepped back into the spotlight with a powerful release, LEAD, that draws faith, perseverance, and hope after navigating deep personal tragedy and a spiritual resurgence. Now, Wright is poised to release the deluxe version of the album with six additional tracks on October 10th.

“ LEAD (Deluxe) takes the album deeper—three new songs and three spoken stories that make this the most personal project I’ve ever released. It’s more than music, it’s the heart behind it,” explains Wright. The singles “The Fall” and “I’ll Take You There (Feat. Wendy Moten)” have already garnered features on EARMILK, The Word is Bond, Jesus Freak Hideout, The Christian Beat, CCM, and more.

Wright imparts, “This deluxe edition is structured almost like a road map: the introduction, the journey, and the invitation. It starts with God calling me to write this record, walks through the highs and lows of faith, and arrives at the greatest decision we can make—to follow Christ. That’s the heartbeat behind LEAD (Deluxe).

My hope for this release is simple—that no matter where you find yourself, at the beginning, the middle, or the end of your journey, there’s something on this album that meets you there. These songs and stories are mile markers, and I pray listeners find their own story inside them and take the next step with Christ.”

With over seven million streams, a successful debut radio single, and international worship leadership spanning the U.S. to Israel, Wright has already made a significant global impact. His collaborations include “Still Standing” featuring Stars Go Dim, and two acclaimed versions of “I’ll Take You There”—one with Wendy Moten and another with Mr. Talkbox, known for work with NSYNC, TobyMac, and Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic.”

Wright’s performance résumé includes sharing stages with Christian music greats like CeCe Winans, Michael W. Smith, Natalie Grant, Riley Clemmons and Danny Gokey, as well as mainstream acts including Jelly Roll, Brooks & Dunn, and Walker Hayes.

A Top 20 male finalist on Season 12 of American Idol, Wright has performed the National Anthem for the Vice President of the United States at Nashville’s Curb Event Center, and was personally selected by Belmont Songwriting Faculty Chair to join Dolly Parton as a featured up-and-coming artist representing the future of Christian music for the grand opening of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Born on a small cattle farm in Celeste, Texas, Wright was first recognized for his voice at the age of two in his local church. Raised in a music-filled household where hymns and Southern Gospel classics echoed throughout the evenings, he overcame the absence of a formal music program in his hometown to pursue piano, voice, and songwriting. Wright went on to graduate valedictorian and earn a Bachelor of Music from Belmont University, where he studied songwriting and music business and was featured in seven prestigious university showcases.

Wright’s journey has not been without heartbreak. At 17, he lost his father to cancer just days into his senior year of high school. Years later, shortly after rising success on American Idol, tragedy struck again when his younger brother Jordan died in a car accident. Wright stepped away from music to heal and deepen his faith, attending Discipleship Ministry School in CeCe Winans’ living room, which later became his home church, Nashville Life Christian Church, where he now serves as a life group and worship team leader.

Wright’s recent accolades include finishing 2nd place in the 2022 International Songwriting Competition in the Christian category for “What You Could Do With Me”, sync placement for “Christmas Dream” on The Young and the Restless, and recognition as a top content creator for Recapture Livestream, the #1 TikTok agency in America.

Beyond music, Wright is also a successful entrepreneur. He is the founder and CEO of The Wright Group, a gold, platinum, and diamond award-winning residential real estate team based in Nashville, and served two years as the HOA President for his community. Additionally, Wright is a worship leader at Nashville Life Christian Church and a key voice in its mission to “Follow Jesus and Build Leaders.”

Now based in Brentwood, Tennessee, Wright continues to write, lead worship, and create with renewed passion. His life and music proclaim that joy is a choice, Jesus is the only answer, and God’s perfect love really does cast out all fear. With his eyes set on pleasing God and his feet firmly planted in faith, Wright believes the best is yet to come.

In the song, Franni Cash challenges the idea that one must look and act a certain way to be worthy or loved.

As Franni tells it, “At its heart “Church Clothes” is about the freedom of knowing we don’t have to put on a facade to come into God’s presence or to be loved by Him. He doesn’t care how polished or put-together we appear—He loves us right where we are. I hope and pray that when people hear “Church Clothes,” they feel the same freedom and joy I’ve experienced by laying down my efforts to impress God or people and allowing myself to be fully loved by Him. It’s liberating, and I can’t wait for you to hear it.”

Bethel Music’s Kristene DiMarco releases her latest EP, “Memorandum,” on all major streaming platforms today. Accompanying the release is the official music video for the focus track, “Stay In The River,” premiering today as well.

“Stay In The River” invites listeners to remain in the river of God’s presence, where His kindness and love continually wash over us. It reminds listeners that surrender is not something to fear, but a place of trust, where His friendship gently shapes and softens our hearts.

“One of the themes that kept surfacing was surrender,” says Kristene DiMarco. “This letting go. Don’t be afraid to let go. Stay in the river. Stay under the water. Let Him do what He wants. Let Him soften all those hard edges.”

The five-track project follows her previously released single, “Song For My Children,” which also appears on the EP “MEMORANDUM.” This latest offering from Kristene DiMarco features songs that were written individually, but reveal a common thread woven through them: humility and surrender. Through raw honesty and tender worship, Kristene DiMarco invites listeners into the kind of closeness that only comes through surrender – where letting go becomes the doorway to deeper closeness with the Holy Spirit.

Recorded in the intimacy of her own home, “MEMORANDUM” carries the weight of legacy and the warmth of family, with every lyric anchored in Scripture and personal testimony. Songs like “Stay In The River” and “Letter To Doubt And Unbelief” speak to the ongoing journey of softening hearts, leaving behind unbelief, and embracing the flow of God’s Spirit.

“When I wrote these songs, I wrote them as individual songs. I didn’t think they would all end up on the same project,” KristeneDiMarco said. “But the further we moved forward with it, the more I began to recognize a theme running through them. And really, that theme is humility. If you asked me, ‘What has God taught you?’– well, I just turned forty this year. And the main thing I feel I’m walking away with after four decades of life is this: God is after surrender.

He’s after us laying down our lives. And it’s not because He’s selfish or demanding, as if He just has to have everything. It’s because surrender equals proximity to the Lord. The more you lay down, the more you let go, the closer you can get. The closer you draw to Him, the more you experience His Spirit. And that’s what life is really about.”

At its core, Kristene DiMarco’s “MEMORANDUM” is less about striving and more about overflow – a reminder that our truest calling is simply to come, drink deeply of His presence, and let rivers of living water flow from within. With humility as its center, this project is an offering of friendship with God, shaped by surrender and marked by His nearness.

After taking the past year off from touring, brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone are stepping into what they describe as a “new season of passion and purpose.” Known for their cinematic sound and powerful storytelling, the duo says “World on Fire” is more than just a song; it’s a rallying cry to live fully alive and on fire for God.

 Thrive Worship completes their deluxe collection of singles released this summer, “The One Who Saves” and “Prison Break,” now joined by the brand-new track “Jesus Song.” The series of singles, paired with kaleidoscopic imagery of a lamb, dove, and lion, presents a unified view of the different beautiful perspectives of Christ.

“We’re living in a time when people are searching for truth, hope, and stability,” shares Thrive Worship. “This song (‘Jesus Song’) reminds us that all of those things are found in Christ alone. It re-centers us on the unshakable reality of the gospel: Jesus has already conquered sin and death, and He reigns forever. In a world full of uncertainty and distraction, this song calls the church back to the foundation—lifting the only name that truly deserves all glory and honor.”

The deluxe single opens with the new song, “Jesus Song,” which was born out of a desire to capture the fullness of Jesus—who He is, what He has done, and what is still to come—offering listeners a complete picture of His life, death, resurrection, and promised return. The second track, “Prison Break,” reflects on the resurrection and the freedom we experience in Christ. Lastly, the song “The One Who Saves” is a powerful declaration of the saving work of the Cross, the holiness of Christ, and the worthiness of Jesus for all our worship.

They add, “Our prayer is that this song would lead the church into deeper worship and a greater awareness of the fullness of who Jesus is. That it helps believers not only remember the cross and the resurrection but also look forward to His return with anticipation. Ultimately, we want it to stir up unity in the Church—so that when we sing, we join together with ‘a billion hallelujahs’ as one voice, giving all glory to the Lamb of God.”

Through “REDISCOVERY,” Zahriya Zachary reflects on her journey with the Lord over the past three years, with each song representing a thought, discovery, or moment she’s had with God. With a pop-forward sound and vertically focused lyrics, the album is filled with messages of hope and honesty, unveiling the hard truths of surrender while highlighting the joy and freedom it brings.

Says Zahriya Zachary, “I wrote ‘Stay’ as a song of reflection and coming to the realization of how near Jesus is. It is a waking to the knowing that He is in every single moment of my life. When I think about the way that Jesus stays with me in every season, I cannot help but give Him everything. This song has again and again brought me into the wonder of how I follow a God who is so patient, caring and ever present.”

Internationally acclaimed worship leader and songwriter Matt Redmanunveils his first-ever “live-studio” album, Life & Breath, today via Integrity Music. With a career spanning 20 albums and exceeding one billion U.S. streams, Redman’s latest release seamlessly blends honor with joy, merging profound theological concepts with accessibility in an intimate live studio recording.

“In the past, I’ve made live records with a congregation and studio albums, but for this project, I wanted to try something different—a ‘live studio’ record. Recording at Gold Pacific Studios in Nashville allowed us to achieve the precision of a studio while still capturing the energy and breath of a live worship setting.”

At the heart of the record is its title track, “Life & Breath,” a modern hymn that walks listeners through the grand narrative of creation, redemption, resurrection, and eternity. Matt Redman explains, “I’m really into that hymn-style song right now, because the multi-verse structure gives you so much space to unpack the story and heart of God. With ‘Life & Breath,’ I wanted a song that gives a big-picture view of who God is and what He’s done, pointing us toward the eternal future with Jesus.”

Matt Redman also highlights “Let Me See Jesus / Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”—a deeply personal song that he says embodies his conviction about the true role of a worship leader. “‘Let Me See Jesus’ stems from the belief that our job isn’t just to help people sing—it’s to help people see,” he reflects. “The song admits, ‘I’ve sung so many songs, cried out at the top of my lungs, but my heart is reaching for something deeper, something more.’

That’s still where I find myself today, even after decades of writing songs. There’s always more of Christ to see and know.” Charity Gayle joins Matt Redman on a stirring new version of the track, adding even greater depth to its cry for a renewed vision of Jesus.

“The God We Love (Nicene Creed)” is another standout song, a modern musical interpretation of the 1,700-year-old Nicene Creed. Created in collaboration with CityAlight’s Jonny and Rich, the song took five months of careful work—Zoom calls, audio notes, and over 250 messages—to honor the timeless text while bringing it to life for today’s worshippers.
