SEU Worship shares the title track from their upcoming album Move of God. SEU Worship is expected to release its new live project on June 14, 2024.

In a little under a decade, the 2-time GRAMMY-nominated, 3-time GMA DOVE Award winner, Joseph Habedank addresses who he is with his April 19th autobiography.

The lead track from the collection is the highly emotionally challenging song he co-wrote called “the basement” that signifies his 10 years of sobriety from drugs. “We are in the nucleus of an epidemic that needs a hand and a heart for those in constant pain,” says Habedank.

“I know the struggle and through my music and my testimony, I hope I can help bring people out of the darkness into the light and I feel this song reflects a lot of that.”

Other call outs “tell the devil,” “going with Jesus,” (featuring award-winning Bernie Herms) and “Jesus walked in,” (featuring Chris Blue) are a true sampling of growth as an artist in writing and musical development. “Working with Bernie was like being shot out of a rocket,” says Habedank.

“He offered such grace and brought out things in me I didn’t realize I had, but glad I know now,” he laughed.

Regimen Records is proud to announce the highly anticipated single release, video and “One Night Only” performances from Award Winning Contemporary Gospel legend Bebe Winans. On April 12, the Detroit native will deliver his newest offering appropriately titled “Father In Heaven (Right Now).”

Written and produced by Winans, “Father In Heaven (Right Now)” recounts the many ways in which he has witnessed and felt God’s hand on his life. The ballad serves as a reminder of celebration and testimony.

Along with the song, the Gospel great is set to deliver a new music video which perfectly conveys the essence of the song. Filmed over the course of four sold out performances across South Africa in January 2024, the official clip for “Father In Heaven (Right Now)” captures Bebe Winans on stage bringing his unique blend of Gospel, Soul and R&B to thousands of fans.

“I must say this song speaks to the core of my being,” the singer says of the song. “I’m so grateful to my Heavenly Father for everything. I hope it moves listeners to the point of surrender when it is released on April 12, 2024.”  In addition to the new single, Bebe Winans is ramping up towards the announcement of a series of special live shows taking place in July 2024.

Inspired by a recent performance at New York City’s renowned Apollo Theater, the singer/songwriter and radio personality will be appearing in Chicago – Country Club Hills Amphitheater on July 13, Washington, DC – Kennedy Center on July 24, and Westbury NY – Westbury Music Fair on July 27. Tickets will be made available on Thursday, April 11, 2024 via Ticketmaster. Additional cities and venues will be announced soon.

Over the course of his storied career, Bebe Winans has more than earned his place as one of the most respected voices in not just Gospel music, but contemporary African American pop culture. A member of the legendary Winans Family, he rose to prominence in the late 80’s and early 90’s as a member of the duo Bebe & Cece Winans.

The brother/sister team has sold millions of albums to date and garnered over 100 million streams across all platforms with their solo and group releases. Their 1991 album Different Lifestyles landed at the no. 1 position on both Billboard’s R&B Albums chart and the Top Gospel Albums chart.

In addition to his iconic (and still growing) discography – which includes the hits such as: “He Promised Me,” “Laughter,” “I.O.U. Me,” “Heaven,” “Addictive Love”, “Hold Up The Light” with Whitney Houston and many more, his voice has also served the Gospel community as host of the nationally syndicated BeBe Winans Radio Show.

Bebe Winans is a six-time Grammy Award winner, a six Stellar Award winner, a three-time Soul Train Award winner, a ten-time recipient of the DOVE Awards, and has taken home four NAACP Image Awards, as well as a NAACP Theater Award Winner for “Best Playwright” for the musical, Born For This.

Maurette Brown Clark secures her second #1 song on the Billboard Gospel charts this week with her latest smash single, “I SEE GOOD.” The empowerment fan-favorite song is lifted from her recently released fifth solo project, “HE LOVES ME.” The 8-song project is globally available now, via the Nettie’s Child Music/MNRK Nashville label imprint.

In celebration of her chart-topping success, Maurette Brown Clark stopped by the Kelly Clarkson Show to deliver a powerful and uplifting performance of her #1 song, “I SEE GOOD.” Maurette is currently featured in the March/April issue of REVO Magazine.

“Talk about a monumental week! Not only my first national daytime television appearance ever [on the Kelly Clarkson show] but doing it the same week that “I See Good” makes it to the top of the Billboard Gospel Singles Chart! So amazing! A couple of years ago I was contemplating moving away from music, but to have this all happen shows you what God can still do with a “yes”. I’m so grateful! Thanking my team for all their hard work. Let’s keep going! I see good!,” shares Maurette.

Maurette Brown Clark’s voice is one that sneaks up on you. It steals into your soul and, before you know it, you’re feeling everything she’s feeling. Her epistles of hope and encouragement are so indelibly linked to your own story that you can’t shake them, even if you tried. But you don’t want to.

“I SEE GOOD.” “I See Good” was written by multiple award winning artist Anthony Brown (Anthony Brown and group therAPy) and produced by Kenneth Shelton for KenHe Music. “I’m an encourager. Just like God encourages us with his Word, his promises, and his love. He sees us whole.

He sees us healed. He sees us delivered from sin. He sets us free from everything that may be holding us down – even if it’s ourselves. So this message is one that everyone can grab a hold of. I am hopeful that it will encourage more than just the Christian community, but people across every spectrum of the world,” mentions Maurette.

This past weekend, prior to taking the stage at a jam-packed Bridgestone Arena, 2x GRAMMY Award winner and multi-platinum selling artist Lauren Daigle was presented with plaques honoring recent RIAA Certifications. Her 2018 record breaking album, Look Up Child, was officially certified 2x Platinum.

The breakthrough album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart and solidified Daigle’s position as a mainstay on the charts. She also received a plaque honoring the Gold Certification of her single, “Thank God I Do,” which is the lead single from Daigle’s 2023 self-titled album. It marks her 6^th Billboard No. 1, making her the first artist to have two singles top the Top Christian Songs chart for more than 20 weeks.

Lauren Daigle is a two-time Grammy®, seven-time Billboard Music, four-time American Music, and twelve-time GMA Dove Music Award winner.  Since the release of her GRAMMY® Award-winning, 2x platinum-certified 2018 album Look Up Child, which included the 6x platinum-certified hit “You Say,” Daigle has been a mainstay on the Billboard charts.

When Look Up Child debuted at No. 3 on the Top 200 Albums chart, Daigle became the first female artist in history to simultaneously hit the Top 10 on both Billboard’s Pop and Christian Album charts. Her recent GRAMMY Nominated and Mike Elizondo-produced, 23-song, self-titled album’s debut single, “Thank God I Do,” gave Daigle her 6^th Billboard No. 1 and was recently certified Gold. She’s garnered over a billion streams and wowed crowds for years with sold-out US and international tours. Daigle continues to cement her status as a modern vocal powerhouse with a huge global fanbase.

Off stage, Daigle remains committed to investing her time to promote music education, work with at-risk youth, and provide care for children, the elderly, and those in need through The Price Fund, an organization she founded in 2018. To date, she has distributed over $2.5 million to 42 nonprofits around the world.

Today sees the release of ‘Let There Be Light’ – a documentary film that explores the pattern of abuse many young people experienced over a period of four decades under the leadership of Mike Pilavachi, founder of the Soul Survivor youth movement in the UK.

This short film highlights victims’ stories, alongside expert insight from experienced professionals discussing how cultures can develop that allow abuse of this nature, and the long-term psychological harm that victims can suffer as a result of it. As well as telling the inside story of Mike Pilavachi’s damaging behaviour while leader of Soul Survivor, ‘Let There Be Light’ also explores the lessons the global Church might learn for the future, in this key area of safeguarding.

Featuring Matt and Beth Redman, who were both themselves victims, the documentary also hears from Dr Diane Langberg (an international author who is recognised for her 50 years of clinical work with trauma victims), Dr Chi-Chi Obuaya (a UK consultant psychiatrist) and Dr Amy Orr-Ewing (a UK theologian with a passion to advocate for survivors of abuse).  The film calls for higher standards of transparency and justice in the Church of England and the wider church.

A safeguarding investigation commissioned by the Church of England substantiated claims made by victims of emotional, physical, and spiritual harm caused by Pilavachi’s abusive behaviours. The investigation uncovered a systematic pattern of coercive control by him – and confirmed inappropriate physical contact instigated by him, including wrestling with teenage boys and the massaging of young male interns in private. As one survivor commented, “He left a trail of broken, young male adults scattered all around the world”. 

After receiving hundreds of messages from survivors and observing a limited response from key leadership voices in the UK Church, alongside a groundswell of comments from the general public, the Redmans became aware that several media outlets were seeking to retell their stories.  This film provides an opportunity for Matt and Beth to tell the story themselves, drawing on the help of experts in this field.

Soul Survivor was a Christian evangelical charismatic youth movement in the UK. Initially founded in 1993, by Mike Pilavachi, its UK summer festivals, which ended in 2019, gathered up to 30,000 young people. Soul Survivor also held regular international events in countries such as Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the Netherlands.

Except for a brief resignation statement on social media in July 2023, Pilavachi, now aged 66, has not made himself available for comment. He currently still holds an MBE, an award given to him by the Queen for his services to young people and has not been subject to significant sanctions by the UK Church.

Commenting on the release of ‘Let There Be Light’ Matt Redman said, “This is a story that needed to be told. Close to 150 people spoke to the initial investigation into Mike Pilavachi’s conduct and that report substantiated claims of physical, psychological, and spiritual abuse.

For me, this is also a personal story. From the age of 13 I experienced that mistreatment firsthand – and it still affects me to this day. But we didn’t make this documentary to cast stones – instead, we want to bring light and hope to the situation, as well as to help the Church learn from what we and others have experienced.”

Beth Redman added, “We hope this film conveys just how much we love and believe in the body of Christ. Our prayer is for the healing of yesterday’s wounds – and a brighter, safer Church for tomorrow.”

Dr Chi-Chi Obuaya* added, “This is a really important project, and it will no doubt be a huge source of support for people directly and indirectly affected by this issue – both at Soul Survivor and in other similar situations.”
