Breakout contemporary Christian artist Kayla Berry has revealed her new album Soar is set to release on March 21, 2025. Fans can pre-order the album starting today at www.kaylaberrymusic.com.

Known for her passionate worship and dynamic vocal ability, Berry has spent years ministering through music, blending Contemporary Christian and Gospel sounds to encourage believers in their faith. Soar marks her first full-length project in 15 nearly years and is a culmination of the singles she has released over the past 18 months including the acclaimed track “Run & Hide”, which Berry co-wrote with Grammy Award winners Mitch Wong and Aaron Lindsey along with Kennedy Lindsey.

Berry, currently the worship leader at New Covenant Church in Harrisville, MS, grew up singing in the church her father pastored and began leading worship at just 18 years old. She was honored with the 2019 Mississippi Gospel Music Award for “Women In Gospel, Making Things Happen” and gained national recognition in 2020 for her contribution to MultiEthnic Record Label’s Christmas Time Is Here Again EP with the song “Mary Did You Know.” Now, Berry is completely self-releasing Soar as an independent artist and stepping into a new season of her musical journey.

Speaking about the heart behind the album, Berry shares: “I pray that this EP brings listeners to a place of remembering that our relationship with Jesus Christ is not only meant to be holy and solemn, but also fun-loving and lighthearted. Being in a relationship with Him produces an abundance of love, joy, peace, excitement, and so much more.

As you listen to these songs, my prayer is that you will find yourself in the presence of the most beautiful King of Glory where you can truly be set free.”

Bethel Music’s Emmy Rose announces the release of the live version of her powerful single, “TEND,” along with its live music video, now available. This stirring track invites listeners into a place of surrender and intimate connection with the Father, inspired by the words of Jesus in John 15: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.”

“TEND (LIVE)” beautifully captures the essence of God’s loving care and the tender process of spiritual growth. Through the metaphor of a gardener, the song speaks to the Father’s role in cultivating our hearts, leading us into deeper dependence on Jesus and a more profound relationship with Him. With its heartfelt and emotive lyrics, the song serves as a reminder of the grace and care with which God leads us into transformation.

Says Emmy Rose, “It has been a couple years since we released ‘Tend.’ What started as a personal prayer of my heart and a simple devotional song written with close friends, has come to take on a life of its own. It has touched and encouraged me to hear how this song has resonated with others.”

She adds, “As ‘Tend’ has sort of ‘bloomed’ over the years, we wanted to do it live in a new way. This reimagined version takes us on a fresh journey of surrender and letting God grow us in the way He desires. I pray it’s a blessing to individuals and the church in their walk with Jesus.”

Emmy Rose is best known for her features on Bethel Music’s “SIMPLE” (2022) leading “Tend,” “HOMECOMING” (2021) leading “Standing In Miracles,” “VICTORY” (2019) leading “Promises Never Fail,” and “COME UP HERE” (2023) leading “Inheritance.” She most recently appears on “WE MUST RESPOND” (2025) leading “He’s The One,” and has immersed herself in all aspects of worship within the church, including songwriting and leading worship for Bethel Church services.
