Curb | Word Entertainment recording artist Meredith Andrews released the official music video for “Ábrenos Los Cielos,” which can be viewed below. Andrews released her first all-Spanish album of the same title earlier this year (May 21).
“What’s so beautiful about speaking to someone in their mother tongue is that they then have this kind of comprehensive understanding, and it speaks to them on an emotional level—not just on an intellectual level where they’re simply trying to translate a song,” Andrews explains of the opportunity to record a Spanish album. “I’m just thankful that I get to offer that to people. It’s such a beautiful language, and they’re beautiful people. I’m really honored that I get to do this.”
Ábrenos Los Cielos shares with fans Andrews’ love for God and her heart for His people, and will remind listeners not only of God’s enormity, but of His love. The 11-song album contains not only translations of previously released songs, but two brand new tracks – “Espacio Te Haré” and “Sostienes El Mundo” – as well. The album also contains five feature artists, including Seth Condrey on “Ábrenos Los Cielos (Open Up The Heavens),” labelmate Blanca on “Millones de Santos (A Million Saints),” Lucia Parker on “Fe y Asombro (Faith and Wonder),” Julissa on “Más y Más (On And On),” and Miel San Marcos on “Se Abre Sobre Mi (Open Over Us).”
Three-time GRAMMY nominee and American Idol alum Danny Gokey released a new live video for “Stand In Faith” which can be viewed below. The track is featured on Gokey’s latest album, Jesus People.

I AM THEY releases the official music video for “Promises,” which can be viewed below. The track was featured on the band’s 2020 album Faithful God.
It’s been more than two years since I AM THEY – made up of Hein, Abbie Parker, (vocals), Brandon Chase (vocals, guitar), Justin Shinn (keys), and Nicole Hickman (drums) – released “Scars,” the chart-topping and K-LOVE Fan Awards-nominated single from their 2018 album Trial & Triumph. With Faithful God, there’s a redefined sense of what it means to hope for the future. Even the band’s moniker speaks to their belief in promises held together by trust, that God is pointing the way forward. From the beginning, the glue that’s held them together has been their ministry focus, caring more about who’s receiving the message than who’s delivering it.

Cory Asbury)” HERE and watch the official music video below. The original version of “Come What May” serves as We Are Messengers’ current radio single and offers the first taste of new music from the K-LOVE Award-winner’s forthcoming third studio album, Wholehearted, which releases on 10/15.
Featuring We Are Messengers’ signature life-changing lyrics and arena-ready hooks, “Come What May + (feat. Cory Asbury)” declares that the character of God is unchanging regardless of our circumstances. “In the past year, we’ve all collectively been forced to concede that, despite our illusions and devises, we do not get to control the world around us,” shares front man Darren Mulligan.
Mulligan adds, “‘Come What May’ is a song that not only acknowledges this reality, but revels in the fact that we have a God that loves us and is worthy of our faith, hope, and trust no matter what circumstances we are facing. It’s a celebration of freedom of not having to fabricate a false reality to ourselves and those around us and a declaration of the goodness of God.”
The Dove-nominated band performed the original version of the track and a host of hits when they made their Red Rocks debut on Aug. 3. They shared the iconic stage with Casting Crowns as part of “Live at Red Rocks.” This fall, the band will once again hit the road on TobyMac’s “Hits Deep Tour” before joining Newsboys for the “Step Into The Light Tour.”
