As an RIAA Platinum-selling act, for KING + COUNTRY’s live shows continue to wow sold-out crowds across the U.S. and internationally, in places like Australia, Germany, and New Zealand.

The duo’s remarkable journey has included chart-topping hits, collaborations with top artists like Dolly Parton, Jordin Sparks, Michael W. Smith, and NEEDTOBREATHE, and the recent success of Joel Smallbone’s directorial debut “UNSUNG HERO,” which grossed over $20 million at the box office in April 2024.

Jordan Smith is beloved for his many gifts — the velvety expanse of his vocals; his emotive songs, one of which was recorded by Celine Dion; and his southern-gentleman humility, evident from his victory on Season 9 of “The Voice” a decade ago. (He remains the highest-selling artist ever to compete on the smash television talent show.) But at his core, he will always be a gospel singer.

Now the accomplished, Harlan, Kentucky native invites listeners to church with a dynamic collection of gospel standards on his first album with Gaither Music Group, The People’s Hymnal, out February 21, 2025, with its pre-order LIVE now. The record, his fifth studio album and sixth overall, comes nine years after releasing Something Beautiful, his acclaimed 2016 David Foster/Stephan Moccio co-produced, pop-leaning debut.

Ahead of the full album release next year, Smith has released today the record’s first single from The People’s Hymnal–a smoldering rendition of “How Great Thou Art.”

“I grew up in a little church in the Appalachian Mountains,” Smith writes in the record’s liner notes. “If there’s a cloth I’ve been cut from, songs like these are the thread. They are my inheritance.”

“How Great Thou Art” finds Smith singing from the heart in a slow-burn setting with a soulful band leaving ample space for him to stretch out vocally. “It set the tone for the album,” he says. “When Tommy [Sims] brought me the arrangement, I couldn’t have dreamed how great it would be — this up-tempo version with long, soaring notes.”

Smith has been praised for his octave-skipping prowess and his pitch-perfect delivery; and within this glorious, modern vintage backdrop he shines majestically. Other album standouts include “The Blood,” “Oh Happy Day,” “What a Friend Medley” and “His Eye Is on the Sparrow.”

The People’s Hymnal, out February 21, 2025, is co-produced by guitarist-producer extraordinaire Colin Linden (Lucinda Williams, the McCrary Sisters, also the primary music producer, songwriter and musician for ABC’s hit show Nashville) and Tommy Sims, who co-wrote Eric Clapton’s GRAMMY-winning song, “Change the World” and has worked with everyone from CeCe Winans to Bruce Springsteen. 

It is a contemporary gospel, pop-tinged album that showcases the dynamic breadth of Smith’s vocals with a collection of stirring arrangements that are familiar yet reimagined.

Smith first gained national recognition when he won season 9 of the singing competition “The Voice” in 2015. Shortly after, he made history on Billboard’s Christian Charts by being the first artist to hold the top two positions concurrently. Smith’s first album debuted at No. 2 in sales in the iTunes Store.

In 2018, his song “Ashes” was recorded by his idol, Celine Dion, for the Deadpool 2 soundtrack. He has been honored by his hometown as a Kentucky Colonel and named “Kentuckian of the Year.” Recently, Smith placed third in the esteemed American Song Contest.

RIAA Platinum-selling, Dove Award-winning Katy Nichole releases “When I Fall” today.

After notching three back-to-back No. 1 hits at radio with singles from her record-breaking, Centricity Music debut album, Jesus Changed My Life, “When I Fall” is the first single revealed from her upcoming sophomore album (title and release date TBA). The new song has already become a soundtrack for millions on TikTok and Instagram.

Earlier this year, Nichole began to share cell phone video clips of herself singing the chorus of “When I Fall.”

Hearing how the lyrics and melody that came directly from her own experience of calling out to God from a place of brokenness were resonating and encouraging millions of people on social media (see https://www.tiktok.com/discover/katy-nichole-when-i-fall), she knew that she had to properly record the song and release it to the world. To date, clips of the song have been viewed more than 200 million times on TikTok alone and shared by over 100 thousand other creators on the social platform.

“‘When I Fall’ was a song I wrote out of complete desperation. I just wept at my piano, and I cried out feeling so mentally, spiritually and physically drained,” remembers Nichole. “The words I sang were what I was praying in that moment. So tired of trying to just be OK, I decided to be honest with myself and with God, and God met me exactly where I was.

I felt so much peace bringing all that I am to the feet of Jesus. Whether it be joy or sadness or just my frustration, I knew I could talk to Jesus about anything, and he would love me through it.”

Quoting Psalm 27:7-8, Nichole continues, “This verse reminds me to be persistent and unwavering in my prayer. Because the Lord is listening and in His presence is where I will find everything that I need.”

Produced by GRAMMY-nominated Jeff Pardo, “When I Fall” comes after Nichole’s RIAA Platinum “In Jesus Name (God of Possible),” Recording Academy-highlighted “Hold On” and “God Is In This Story” singles all hit the top of radio charts. Along with these songs, the Jesus Changed My Life Deluxe edition of Nichole’s award-winning debut album contains seven additional tracks and four originals, including her hit single, “My God Can (feat. Naomi Raine).”

Known for his signature voice and heartfelt lyrics, McReynolds delivers a unique take on Christmas music with entirely new compositions that capture the spirit of the season.

McReynolds shares, “Christmas comes at the end of the year. And sometimes that year took a lot out of us.

I wanted to make some original music to reflect that.”

In conjunction with the EP, McReynolds is readying to embark on the Red & Green tour, a six-city concert series starting December 1 in Chicago and concluding December 21 in Atlanta. This tour offers fans the opportunity to experience McReynolds’ original Christmas songs live, creating an unforgettable holiday experience.

Adding to this exciting period, McReynolds has signed with Motown Gospel/Capitol Christian Music Group, marking a significant milestone in his career. “We’re thrilled to welcome Jonathan to Motown Gospel/Capitol Christian Music Group,” said the label’s Co-Presidents, Brad O’Donnell, and Hudson Plachy. “Jonathan is a special talent that we’ve admired for some time, and we couldn’t be more excited to be his partner.”

They say that timing is everything.  Well, that time has come for the popular worship band, Fusebox.  Persevere Entertainment Group, INC., is thrilled to announce the return of Fusebox with today’s release of, “You Will” – the band’s first new music in twenty years.  Back at the helm for Fusebox is Dove Award-nominee and founding member, lead vocalist/songwriter, Billy Buchanan.

After backing Grammy Award-winner, Rebecca St. James (along with her brothers, Joel and Luke, of FOR KING + COUNTRY, singing behind her) for many years, Fusebox was eventually signed to Elevate Records (distributed by Capitol CMG) as their flagship artist. 

Fusebox released two rocking worship albums with Lost in Worship in 2002 spawning the hit song, “Every Move I Make”, before following its success up with the 2004 record, Once Again, whose title track was a ‘Top 5’ hit.   Even though “You Will” marks the group’s first new music in two decades, it picks up right where they left off, proclaiming that not only is the band back, but they are sounding better than ever!

Buchanan co-wrote “You Will” with his wife, Jamie. The beautiful ballad serves as a timely reminder of God’s faithfulness. When asked about the highly anticipated new single as well as the band’s extended hiatus and return, Buchanan says, “For the last 20 years, I’ve continued to make my living playing music. I’ve released 12 solo albums.

I’ve also been serving on the worship team at my church, singing, playing acoustic and bass guitar.”  He continues, “I recently attended the Dove Awards and saw a lot of old friends. Surprisingly, many of the musicians who were making music during Fusebox’s heyday are still relevant today. I was really encouraged, and immediately made the decision to put out new Fusebox music”.
