Today, Grammy-winning gospel singer-songwriter Jonathan McReynolds brings a fresh sound to the holiday season with the release of his first-ever Christmas EP, Red & Green, via Life Room Label/Capitol Christian Music Group/Motown Gospel. This collection features an eclectic blend of original songs, offering the perfect soundtrack for festive celebrations or cozy nights by the fire.

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. The cost and the benefit of being able to put on your red and green and get in the spirit of the season and remind yourself of God’s greatest gift to us gets higher and higher. 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”.

Soulful, powerhouse singer Chris Blue is making the most wonderful time of the year even more joyous with a two-song seasonal debut, Celebrate Christmas, out today on Gaither Music. This digital Christmas “twofer” features a soaring and soulful rendition of the popular holiday hit “Celebrate Me Home” and a silky, R&B-tinged reimagining of “The Christmas Song.”

“It’s been a joyous year for me, and I wanted to celebrate Christmas with everyone this season by singing two of my favorite holiday songs,” said Blue, winner of NBC’s The Voice. “It’s my gift to all those who have supported me and my music this year. I feel very blessed!”

This multi-track single comes on the heels of Blue’s chart-topping Gospel album, Foundations: The Hymns of My Heart, released this past June. The album reached #1 on the Gospel Album Chart, #2 on the Top Christian/Gospel Albums Chart and #158 on the Top Album Sales Chart across all music genres the week of its release. Since then, Blue has made appearances on television shows, performed the national anthem for the U.S. Diving Qualifying Olympics in his hometown, released a concert DVD and appeared in his own television special.

Blue’s reading of Kenny Loggins’ evergreen “Celebrate Me Home” opens as a tender, R&B ballad before it swells to an outpouring of seasonal euphoria with Blue’s dynamic vocals soaring skyward. His stunning take on “The Christmas Song” blooms from its elegant piano and voice opening to the walk-on-clouds soulfulness of a modern R&B-flavored pop track.

Blue would go on to become a worship leader. He came to national prominence as a fan-favorite and the winner of NBC’s Season 12 of “The Voice” back in 2017.

Composer, producer, and longtime music industry veteran Paul Wright III announces a new soundtrack and visual album for Reverie, The companion film was planned since the inception of Reverie toshowcase the deep, spiritual origin of the songs.

As a composer for film and TV, Wright has always imagined music visually as well as sonically and worked to convey his vision into both album and film. Although the visual album, which will also be available as one complete film, tells a complete story with scenes pulled from the daily human experience, each song is a life vignette that can stand on its own.

“The film is loosely autobiographical,” says Wright. “The visual album will be offered individually as a 7-part series as well as a full feature film that displays parts of everyday life people will be able to relate to.”

The soundtrack and visual album rollout includes video collaborations from industry staples and close friends of Wright including Kim Fields, Fred Hammond, Jekalyn Carr, Mr. Talkbox, Tommy Sims, Maurette Brown-Clark, Percy Bady, and others.

Adding to the launch, five songs from Reverie have been chosen as features for the upcoming film Bucket Wish from writer/director Ericka Nicole Malone, who also wrote and produced Remember Me: The Mahalia Jackson Story for Hulu, where Wright served as composer and music supervisor.

Whether it’s a job, a dream, a hope, a relationship, or an expectation of how our path was supposed to turn out.

When I Found You is about finding restoration and hope in God. It’s about healing and understanding that God is our strength and comfort when we want to pick up the pieces and rebuild. I hope this song provides peace to anyone who listens.”

Matt Redman releases a brand-new Christmas EP titled “In Excelsis,” his first seasonal project since 2016. Noticing that Christmas worship has tended to lean heavily toward classic heritage songs, he introduces two originals on this new project. “Matthew 13:52 talks about, ‘someone who brings out new and old treasures from the storeroom,’” Redman shared.

“I truly love Christmas carols, but I also love to challenge myself and others to brings some newly created songs of worship around the Christmas season… this project is an attempt at that.”
