“I believe there is something musically and inspirationally for everyone on this album – it’s full of hope and encouragement that I think we can all use right now,” Danny Gokey shares. “In the writing process and also in choosing the title, I was inspired by the life of Jesus and how His presence has been a staple throughout history. He was a figure that brought the broken, the hurting, and those that had lost their dreams together in a unifying way, and that’s something I inspire to do. Musically, I got to explore some new things and cross some genre borders. I’m excited for listeners to hear the collaborations with the special guests featured on the project, including Gospel, Latin, and even a little rap. It’s something I love doing and hope to do more of in the future.”
Jesus People features songs with artists such as Koryn Hawthorne (“We All Need Jesus”), the Spanish song featuring Christine D’Clario (“Cristo Es Necesario”), and Angie Rose (“Do For Love”), and the album’s flagship song, “Stand In Faith,” just went for adds at radio, becoming the most-added single in the genre. Most of all, throughout the project Gokey’s songs touch on love, gratitude, and truth.
“Jesus said they would know us by our love,” states Gokey, one of the repeating themes on the album. “What is love? Love is patient, love is kind, love is long-suffering, love does not envy. It does not seek self. I think the best way we can show love is by living love. People can say, ‘I love you’ all the time, but I can tell through your actions how you actually feel. I think love is the key. Love is what fuels and changes things and really, meets people right where they’re at with no strings attached.”
Last week, Gokey’s newest single “Stand In Faith” went for adds at radio and was the most added single in the genre. This song will appear on the forthcoming album. Jesus People follows his widely successful 2019 release Haven’t Seen It Yet. That project produced the newly certified RIAA-certified Gold single of the same name, which was his second Gold-certified career single and his fifth radio No. 1 radio.
In step with many of the messages from his songs, Gokey continues to give back to the community as he has from the start of his career, which began during his time on “American Idol” during Season Eight as a Top 3 finalist. His foundation, Better Than I Found It, is a nonprofit organization established to support and encourage other non-profits who are making a difference in their community. Gokey’s foundation partners and walks alongside other organizations to help them move to the next level for the most impact.

With a chorus that toasts the ups and downs of life, “Dance To It (Luca Schreiner Remix)” provides a soundtrack to every high and every low. “To the love, to the pain, to the memories we made, to the past, to the dreams, to the future unseen, we can dance to it,” Reeves sings.
“So many of my songs are lyrically driven, but this one is just a feel-good song,” Reeves shares of the fresh track she co-wrote with Cameron Jaymes and Nick Bailey. “It doesn’t say much, but it speaks the language of the soul, which is dancing.”
“Dance To It (Luca Schreiner Remix)” pumps up the volume on Reeves’ original version of the song found on her latest LP, Life Love & Madness, which debuted in the Top 5 of the iTunes Singer/Songwriter album chart when it released last fall. Today’s premiere of “Dance To It (Luca Schreiner Remix)” follows the recent unveiling of “Not My Style (R3HAB Remix),” which quickly racked up one million streams on Spotify in just one week, upon release.

With production assist from the legendary Tony Berg (Paul McCartney, Phoebe Bridgers, Kimbra), interrobang promises Switchfoot fans old and new a fresh, never-before-seen take on the modern rock mainstays.
“interrobang is the culmination of the past 20 years. The most musically ambitious and challenging album we’ve ever made, during the most challenging year we’ve ever lived through, interrobang could not have been made at any other point in our career,” Switchfoot shared in the album announcement. “We’ve talked a fair bit about the ‘how, where, and who’ of this album (tracking live as a band at the legendary Sound City, with Tony Berg producing). But we haven’t talked much about ‘why’ we made this album. Our goal for this album was to make a record that only WE could make. An album so uniquely our own that is unlike anything we’ve ever made before.”

My love for gospel music is because of the timeless records that they’ve created. To have them both on a song together with me is truly a dream come true. I believe that the joy that this song brings me, will be shared by listeners around the world. No matter what happens in life, we share a promise, God will never let us go, He has a hold on us!”
