Love is in the air and Red Street Records’ Cade Thompson has penned a honest and tender-hearted love song titled “Dear Future Wife”.
Written as a letter to his future spouse, the intimate lyrics make listeners feel they are stumbling across Thompson’s personal journal.
“Maybe you are feeling broken / But I know you’re beautiful / And the God who loves us both Is gonna make you whole” See full lyrics below.
The 20-year-old opened up about the song, saying, “I wrote the song Dear Future Wife last year in the middle of quarantine. If I am honest I think about my future wife a lot. What does she look like? Have I met her? How can I be a better man for her before I meet her? I think a lot of people can relate to those same questions regarding relationships. I can get distracted by the temptations of this world and this song is an anthem to help me keep the fight to become the best man I can be for my future wife. Through this song I hope listeners will be reminded that the waiting is worth it, as you trust God with your journey.”
“Dear Future Wife” is produced and arranged by Jay DeMarcus, Red Street Records founder. DeMarcus’ has brought a musical diversity and expertise to the track that perfectly completes the song. “Dear Future Wife” is a must-hear track for anyone looking to fill their heart with a little extra love.

Protek Illasheva follows up the success of his ‘Counter Culture’ album which had appearances from the likes of Vector and MI with the Amapiano-driven ‘Wahala for who no get Jesus’.
‘Wahala for who no get Jesus’ is proof that secular music and gospel music can be cross-pollinated safely and easily. This theme has been the major message of the new school gospel act.
Protek proves to be in tune with trends as he continues to hold down his place as leader of the hip millennial Christians.
‘Wahala for Who No Get Jesus’ reinforces the established fact that Jesus is the only way, the truth and the light.

Alternative phenom Alex Henry Foster (AHF) releases today (Feb. 12) the first video, “The Son of Hannah,” from his live triple-vinyl / double-CD and concert film Standing Under Bright Lights that is set to release April 16 and is available to preorder now from Hopeful Tragedy Records.
Premiered yesterday by both BrooklynVegan and Prog Magazine, “The Son of Hannah” video was recorded live in front of a sold out Club Soda (July 2019) while AHF headlined the Montreal International Jazz Festival. The concert was named one of the top five events not to be missed by Canada’s national TV/Radio broadcaster CBC.
Premiering the Standing Under Bright Lights lead single last week, American Songwriter reveals that “‘The Son of Hannah’ is an intimate reflection on keeping faith in moments of great despair…Propelled by a deeper turmoil, Foster maneuvers from his delicately sinister oration into something more captivatingly honest, and raw, sorely declaring He left me with nothing / No words, no direction to set myself in / But he gave me everything I’ve ever needed…Taught me to feed a spirit of my own / To carry my voice beyond morning views / And to leave the past behind.”
“The Son of Hannah” is also featured on multiple Spotify Playlists, including Loudwire’s “Weekly Wire-This Week’s Best Songs,” “Best Of Rock” (along with Foo Fighters, Five Finger Death Punch, Adelitas Way, Breaking Benjamin and more), plus Post Rock, Dark Folk, Progressive, Noise Rock, Sad songs for hopeful nights and others.
From Montreal and now residing in the highlands of Virginia, Foster’s full production, 11-piece band concert, Standing Under Bright Lights, was originally set to release October 8, 2020, which would have been his late father’s birthday. Instead, Foster decided to utilize the extra time the worldwide pandemic would give him to produce the recording and concert film.
The resulting project features “The Son of Hannah” along with every song from AHF’s debut solo album, Windows in the Sky, which hit No. 1 multiple times on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, staying in the Top 40 on the chart for a full year after its release. The songs from this celebrated album were re-invented for the live recording as the band performed along with a movie projection produced by Foster. Almost 2 hours and 30 minutes long, the concert at which Standing Under Bright Lights was recorded is now considered among the best concerts throughout the 40 years of the Montreal International Jazz Festival.
Following the release of the album, Foster and his band are preparing to tour internationally with 23 dates in Europe set to begin in May, pandemic allowing.
The full Standing Under Bright Lights track listing follows:
1) The Son of Hannah
2) The Pain That Bonds (The Beginning Is the End)
3) Winter Is Coming In
4) Shadows of Our Evening Tides
5) The Hunter (By the Seaside Window)
6) Snowflakes in July
7) Summertime Departures
8) Lavender Sky
9) The Love That Moves (The End Is Beginning)
