Mack Brock releases new music with a single titled “The Best Is Yet To Come” featuring Pat Barrett. The track is available now to download or stream and can be heard below.
Brock shares the heart behind this new song in a post to social media:
I’m an optimist. It’s one of the reasons I love January… it brings anticipation and expectation for the new year ahead. But to be completely honest, this past month was one of the hardest Meredith and I have faced in a long time. In January, we lost three people that were very important to us. Three people that we loved dearly and it’s been really difficult to navigate. It’s been a bad start to the year. And when what’s in front of you is so bad, its hard to find things to look forward to… And yet, when we look at the heart of Jesus. Who he is. The promises he has made. I can trust that even when it’s dark, He promises that He is the Light of the world. When heartbreak tempts me to become hopeless I force myself look towards the Light. The best is ahead – even if it doesn’t look like what we anticipated or what we thought we wanted. God knows our name. He knows our needs and we can believe we have something to look forward to. The Best Is Yet To Come is a song has been hidden in my heart for months now – constantly reminding me to rest in His goodness to me. I love that I can share it with you now. I hope it encourages you to do the same.
GRAMMY®-nominated and GMA Dove Award-winning David Leonard – artist, songwriter, storyteller, and producer – announces the release of “Every Hour,” the debut single with his new label partner Sony Music/Provident Label Group. Available now at all digital outlets, a performance video for “Every Hour” is also out and can be viewed below.
“‘Every Hour’ was birthed when I was leading worship at my dad’s college, where for the past 30 years he was a pastor and where I started leading when I was 15,” Leonard shares. “My father was leaving to become the pastor at my home church, so during one of his last gatherings at the college, he asked me to lead worship. I was doing Matt Maher’s “Lord I Need You” and out of that song a spontaneous moment happened, which is special because I’d never written a song that was birthed out of the same place that taught me how to lead worship. It was really cool to have it come out of that moment and space.”
Finishing the song with Josh Baldwin and Stefan Cashwell, Leonard recollects, “Just like everybody else, through these last couple of years, I’ve really realized that the need for God is great. For me, I tend to try to make reminders and try to live in the space of constantly trying to remember, and this song has been that for me. It’s become an anchor point that I’ve been able to fall back on and I’m really proud of it.”
David Leonard has been playing, singing, writing, and recording music since college when he and his friends formed the band Jackson Waters. He later performed with NEEDTOBREATHE before recording as one-half of the critically acclaimed and GRAMMY-nominated duo All Sons & Daughters. Leonard is also a GMA Dove Award-winning producer (Confio/Jaci Velasquez) and creative partner in The Creak Music (Ben & Noelle Kilgore, NEEDTOBREATHE, Brandon Heath, All Sons & Daughters). His songwriting credits include “Great Are You Lord,” “Christ Be All Around,” “All The Poor and Powerless,” and “God Who Moves The Mountains.” He released his solo project The Wait in the spring of 2019 with much acclaim from critics.
GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter, producer and critically-acclaimed artist Brooke Ligertwood drops the second single “Nineveh” from her forthcoming live solo album “SEVEN” which is now available for preorder. Out today on all digital platforms with an accompanying live performance video, “Nineveh” is written by Ligertwood along with Pastor Steven Furtick and is a narrative journey through the Biblical book of Jonah that concludes with a personal, individual challenge. The piano-driven anthem soars into “God have mercy” refrains that were written into the song from its genesis specifically for a choir to sing – a vision that comes to life through a powerful live ensemble of voices in both the audio and video recordings.
“When Pastor Steven Furtick messaged me in the spring of 2021 and said he and I should write a song called ‘Nineveh,’ the ‘world’ of this song immediately sprung to life in my spirit and we began and completed this work a relatively short time later,” says Ligertwood.
Ligertwood adds, “It is a rare and deep joy to be able to write a song that closely examines a narrative of scripture while simultaneously inviting the listener to allow the scripture to examine them. ‘Nineveh’ is one such rarity and I feel honoured to have co-written it with a songwriter and thinker I immensely respect – it was a joy from beginning to end.”
After six mainstream albums with Sony Music under maiden name “Brooke Fraser” and in parallel, 17 years with Hillsong Worship, which she still currently leads globally, Ligertwood is combining her two decades of experience as an artist/producer and her passion for serving the church with her new solo offering under Capitol CMG.
Recorded live in Nashville, TN, “SEVEN” consists of entirely brand-new worship songs written by Ligertwood and husband/longtime collaborator Scott, Jason Ingram (who co-produced the album with her), Pastor Steven Furtick, Brandon Lake, Phil Wickham and friends. It features a band composed of gifted musicians from the breadth of the modern worship movement (Hillsong, Bethel, Vineyard, Elevation), a 30-piece choir, and a collection of stunning new prayer-soaked songs written and arranged in line with Ligertwood’s singular vision with Jesus at the center.
“Nineveh” follows on the heels of “A Thousand Hallelujahs” which continues to impact audiences around the world. The debut single from “SEVEN” has amassed over 1.7M global streams in just two weeks since release. Already No. 2 on Multitrack’s Top Songs chart, the live performance video has also garnered more than 645K views to date. Ligertwood’s full-length album is set for release on February 25.

Two weeks ago, Elevation Worship, the multi-GRAMMY® nominated, multi-GMA Dove Award® winning, and Billboard No. 1 charting group announced the March 4th release of their upcoming album, LION, alongwith its first single, “Same God.”Today, the group drops the project’s second single, “What I See,” accompanied by a live video. Listen to the song and watch the video HERE.
Led by Chris Brown, “What I See” is an upbeat song they’ve been singing at church for a while now. As the second track on the album, it starts off with energetic guitars and as Brown shares, “The song is a heart-pounding wake-up call that all things are possible with God and resurrection is still happening today!” The group also announced today that they will be kicking off their spring arena tour, Elevation Nights, on April 26. Each evening will bring the experience of Elevation Church to arenas, featuring a message from Steven Furtick and music from Elevation Worship. Tickets go on sale to the public on February 9. For more information, visit ElevationNights.com.
In the last two years alone, Elevation Worship has broken barriers for the worship genre, celebrating multiple No. 1 songs at radio, three nominations for the 2022 GRAMMY Awards, two 2021 Billboard Music Awards (Top Christian Artist and Top Christian Song), and four 2021 GMA Dove Awards. The new album follows the highly-acclaimed Graves Into Gardens (2020) and special collaboration project Old Church Basement (2021) with Maverick City Music. It was the groundbreaking songs on these albums that paved the way for the musical diversity that is represented on LION, their 14th album, a musical blend that creates intimate moments of worship to high-powered anthems.
Brown adds, “This project was written and recorded at different times over the last year and really covers a broad spectrum of moments captured in our church worship. Some of these songs really surprised us in the writing rooms, which led us to some very special moments in recording them – both in the studio and live in church. The process of making this album has been unlike any other we’ve had. And I hope every new song touches hearts in a powerful way.”

The guys in All Creatures release their next track titled “[close to me]” now available (DREAM Records) on all digital service providers. The track was produced by Neon Feather and follows the release of their debut radio single “[wonder working]”, which is now closing in on 10 million combined total listeners. The group talk about their new track.
Close To Me is written through the eyes of Jesus and as a snapshot of that moment when the rug gets pulled out from under you. We often look for Jesus in the skies, in the pews and in the culture, but in that moment of being brought to our knees, which is also a posture of prayer, we find that Jesus has always been there, closer than our tears, and all that we need is found when we turn towards him, reaching out.” – Chris Cron, All Creatures
The best way to describe how All Creatures began is by saying God had a plan. Chris and Ben had been striving for years as solo artists, with not even a thought of starting a band or becoming CCM artists. When the two found themselves in a writers room together, all of that changed. It became clear that all of the experiences (failures and successes), and heart for people that Chris and Ben shared fit together in a way that only God could make happen. Now armed with Ben’s production wizardry and Chris’s vocals, All Creatures are poised to become your new favorite band, with their fresh perspective, every-dad compassion and youthful exuberance for life.

Hammond, LA — Titus Showers first made his mark in Gospel as the lead singer for the two-time Stellar Award-nominated family band, The Showers. He stepped out with his debut solo EP WHO in 2019 that debuted at #1 on Billboard Top Gospel Albums Chart. Returning from the success of his 2020 single “It’s Gonna Be Alright”, the Billboard award-winning artist has released a new single to radio – “Name On It”.
“Name On It” is the precursor to his forthcoming self-titled new album TITUS SHOWERS. The beautifully crafted and powerful song is produced by Lucius Hoskins and written by Hoskins and Showers. Showers and Hoskins celebrate God’s blessings for his people through expressive and elevating lyrics – “I’m speaking life, I’m speaking to the mountain, claiming my promise, It’s got my name on it.”
“The Lord gave me this song in the middle of this pandemic to bless the people of God all over the world,” Showers explains. “I encourage you to heed the words of the song because God has something tailor-made for you. No one can claim it or take it away from you because it has your name on it.”
“Name On It” is impacting Gospel radio now. The album will release via A&P Records and be available on digital outlets on April 22, 2022. “Name On It” has the anointing and brilliance to add to Showers’ impressive career that boasts over 1 million YouTube views, two #1 Gospel albums, a #1 radio single, and five career top 30 songs. Evidence as Titus Showers continues to claim his promise of being a beacon of light and hope through music.

New York, NY — Singer-songwriter Sarai Korpacz has written and co-produced “Light,” her latest faith-promoting single featuring an accompanying video shot by Minnesota-based Cinematographer Anthony Darst. The single dropped on February 2, 2022.
“Light” emerged as Korpacz began contemplating both John 8:12 and Matthew 5:14 — two of the New Testament’s most oft-quoted scriptures. In the first, Jesus states “I am the light of the world.” In the second, He says “You are the light of the world.” Korpacz’s song offers her personal interpretation of these two references. She explains, “In essence, we reflect Jesus’s light to the world as He shines in and through us. He is the origin of the light. Also, the Bible tells us to go into all the world and preach the gospel — hence the train imagery.”
Korpacz is referring to the video’s railroad setting, a standout location in Fountain City, Wisconsin. Paired with the single’s music and lyrics, the shots of vacant tracks and barreling trains evoke journeys, travel, and missionary efforts. “I pray the song does that — reaches people of every nation tribe and tongue so they can know that God loves them. For those who believe, we are called to be a light in the darkness.”
The song is infused with Korpacz’s usual upbeat warmth — the signature style displayed in her earlier singles, “Harmony” and “Eden In Me.” While not originally intended as an ode to the islands, “Light,” her latest work, ultimately includes some distinct reggae undertones that come into play and transform the flavor of the music.
Throughout the writing process, Korpacz embraced flexibility and gained new insight, collaborating with music producer Claudio Perini, leading her to create a charged and bright sound. The reggae evolution came as an unexpected but welcome surprise. Korpacz reiterates, “Music is universal and I hope people will put on their dancing shoes and feel at liberty to dance to this music.”
Collaborator Natalie Lukkenaer, an accomplished professional singer from the Netherlands can be heard the backing vocals. Find the song and video today, February 2, 2022, on streaming platforms and at saraikorpacz.com.
