All age worship movement Worship For Everyone are back with a new single just in time for Pentecost!
‘Move’ drives home that the Holy Spirit is accessible to all, reflecting Worship For Everyone’s heart to unite the Church around a new way of experiencing corporate worship.
‘Move’ is a song filled with fun and energy, painting a beautiful picture of the reality of God’s Spirit in our lives.
This time, Worship For Everyone’s Nick and Becky Drake take a back seat as the song is led by the couple’s daughter, Daisy Drake, alongside Noah Smith. The new single is full of 80s synths and drum fills, mixing old school tones with relatable and fresh vibes. With ‘Move’, the UK-based movement bridges the gap between generations and challenges the barriers between what is considered ‘for children’ and ‘for adults’ to instead build the family of God.
Seattle-born alternative band Citizens introduce their second single off upcoming album, ‘Imagination’. This song comes from a raw situation, staying true to Citizens’ true and relatable songwriting that reached deep places in their audience’s souls.
Frontman Zach Bolen explains that the last words spoken to him by a person he really cared about before dying were painful ones, all because they weren’t seeing eye to eye. ‘Imagination’ is a response, “I wrote the most ‘I don’t want to fight anymore’ song I could think of, one that could inspire them to look past the anger and find the kid in them again,” says Zach.
There is a magnetism in the chorus of this song, pulling listeners out of nowhere like a twisting rollercoaster ride that you don’t want to miss out on. And while the inspiration comes from a heavy place in life, this song is the protest against it all, full of happiness and hope.
But Citizens also play with the perception from the very title of their new single – challenging the thought that differing beliefs and opinions are threats to Christianity. ‘Imagination’ seeks to reconcile the ever-present divide of humanity, bringing us back to a place of relationship with one another and with the source of our inspiration, Jesus.
Citizens dare their audience to dream beyond what they can see, to ask questions, dance in the mystery, and stand on a hope that will not disappoint them. “‘Imagination’ is easily one of the most exciting and instantly infectious songs that we’ve ever written,” Zach adds. With their second single, Citizens inspire us to reconsider our perception of the Divine with music that pushes the boundaries of what “Church music” usually sounds like.
GRAMMY award-winning music collective Maverick City Music and 16-time GRAMMY winner Kirk Franklin will bring the injustices around mass incarceration – and the voices of 1,300 inmates – to center stage with the release of their collaborative album KINGDOM Book 1, out June 17th via Tribl Records / Fo Yo Soul Entertainment / RCA Inspiration. Today (June 3), “Bless Me” is available now ahead of the full project.
Maverick City Music’s newest single “Bless Me” is an infectious celebration of the bounties of life as they already are—taking the time to recognize the blessings already bestowed upon you rather than those you lack. As countless unyielding voices refrain, in stacks of traditional gospel harmonies, “we’ve got everything we need.”
Drum lines, snare rolls, and energetic horns call to mind the image of a football field or a pep rally, drawing a connection between these two spaces of celebration and powerful community. Rapid-fire hi-hat rolls and 808s frame the song with an unmistakably modern punch. More than anything, “Bless Me” evokes the electric, invincible feeling of being surrounded by your people and strengthened by their love.
“Kingdom,” the first song from the Maverick City Music x Kirk Franklin collab stayed atop the iTunes video chart (all genre) for almost two weeks. The album ‘Kingdom Book 1’ — a collaboration with Maverick City Music x Kirk Franklin brings the topic of mass incarceration into the forefront — and it’s out Fri. June 17th, the 7th anniversary of the shooting at the Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC (a native town of two Mav City members). The collective recorded the album with more than 1300 inmates at the Everglades Correctional Facility in Florida.

Nigeria gospel singerLilian Nneji has just released a new single titled “E Get Why“.
Speaking on this song, Lilian Nneji says, this song illustrates those things God does for us out of his love and care which we ordinarily do not merit. It is a song of Thanksgiving to God for the amazing and uncountable blessings he has daily deposited on us his children. Which of his blessings can we really count? None! His marvelous works upon the earth cannot be quantified.
We need to be extremely thankful to God because if not for his goodness over our lives many would have mocked us in one way or the other but his blessings and favour has been our shield all the way.
God loves us so much and it is expedient that we love him right back just as he has loved us. Oh give thanks to the Lord for he is good and his mercies endureth forever. Psalms 136:1
