I am so overwhelmed and can’t wait for the next venture!!”

Kate Stanford, a rising vocal tour-de-force in the world of Christian Music, is set to release her newest single YOUR HEART on February 14, on all major music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

YOUR HEART promises to be a divine love song just in time for Valentine’s Day. With lush harmonies showcasing her ethereal vocals and an upbeat sing-a-long chorus, the song celebrates God’s unstoppable and unconditional love, and our hope that the world will be transformed by His promises.

Kate shares, “YOUR HEART is a Christian love song about God’s unconditional love for us. No matter who we are, God will meet us with grace. He WANTS us to come as we are, He doesn’t need perfection. I believe that the ultimate love is God’s love, and to release this song on Valentine’s Day is a great way to celebrate that”

So just let him have your hard days

Every single time you feel afraid

He’ll take those battles that you can’t face

His Love makes it all feel light weight

Yeah that’s right

You know it’s true

The one thing he wants from you

He just wants your heart

Every single part

He knows where you’re at

Don’t hold nothing back

There ain’t no shame in being real

Cause He knows how you feel

You’re a living moving breathing

Work of art

And he just wants your heart

He just wants your heart

Kate continues, “We are all imperfect and inherently flawed humans. One does not have to be the “perfect Christian” to deserve God’s love. We deserve it all of the time at any stage in life.”

For YOUR HEART, Kate once again enlisted the talents of two-time GRAMMY nominee, writer/ producer Cindy Morgan, who previously produced several songs for the young artist. As their partnership continues to blossom, Cindy continues to mentor Kate’s songwriting and vocal talents, creating an unmistakable signature sound.

While music is always her passion, her drive doesn’t stop there. Kate balances her career with her education, as she is months away from graduating from the University of Texas. “I wrote YOUR HEART with the intention of singing it in the spring/summer time. I wanted it to be upbeat & to have a great groove – a “roll your windows down” kind of jam. I have upcoming shows both this spring and after graduation, and singing this will be a perfect way to celebrate!”

YOUR HEART tour dates:

03/24/2023 – Uxbridge, MA

03/25/2023 – Fairfield, CT

03/26/2023 – Tiverton, RI

YOUR HEART by Kate Stanford will be available to stream and purchase on all major music platforms February 14, 2023. KateStanfordMusic.com

Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors celebrate togetherness on their new full-length studio album Strangers No More – due out June 7th via Magnolia Records.

The new album was recorded in Asheville, NC at Echo Mountain Studios with producer Cason Cooley (Ben Rector, Ingrid Michaelson, American Authors) and Holcomb’s longtime bandmates Nathan Dugger (guitar), Rich Brinsfield (bass), Will Sayles (drums), and Ian Miller (keys).

Today’s news comes with the release of the album’s opening track “Fly” – a finger-picked folk song about the passage of time. It’s a gorgeous moment of reflection from a musician who’s learning to age gracefully, balancing the refined edge of his songwriting with a willingness to try new things.

Listen to the single HERE via your preferred DSP and watch the official music video HERE.

Strangers No More builds upon Holcomb’s spirit of collaboration that was sparked by 2019’s Dragons LP which featured co-writes with Lori McKenna, The Lone Bellow, and Natalie Hemby. For the new album Holcomb turned to several trusted and talented friends to write with including Hemby, Ketch Secor (Old Crow Medicine Show), K.S. Rhoads and Cooley.

Written on both sides of a global pandemic, it’s a record about the perspective of time, the rollercoaster of triumph and tragedy, and jubilation in the face of chaos. Holcomb and his longtime bandmates aren’t just reveling in one another’s presence after a long hiatus; they’re expanding their sound, too, finding room for timeless songwriting, modern-day Laurel Canyon folk, amplified Americana, and heartland rock & roll.

If Dragons was a rhapsody of life and family, then Strangers No More embraces a wider range of topics and textures. The songwriting is more introspective and universal this time around — “the kind of specific that applies to everyone,” Holcomb says — and the love songs that filled previous albums have been replaced by tunes that cover friendship, death, introspection, and Holcomb’s connection to his audience. “There’s a longer list of characters this time,” he adds.

Strangers No More offers an all-encompassing view not only of the places Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors have been, but where they’re headed next, too. From ageless folk music to atmospheric Americana to soulful rock & roll, the album marks an ambitious new chapter in the band’s story and is due out June 7th via Magnolia Music.

You can catch Holcomb on the road this month with his wife Ellie, dates and tickets HERE, and you can listen to “Fly” today via all DSPs HERE and watch the official music video HERE. Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors will be returning to Bonnaroo this year for a performance after the album drops and Holcomb cannot wait to share these songs live, so look for more tour dates this summer!
