PLATINUM-certified, GRAMMY-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson will release her highly anticipated third studio album Stars on October 17, launching her newly announced nine-stop headline The STARS Tour in Nashville the following day (10/18). Across the 12 songs co-written by Wilson, the Kentucky native delivers a coming-of-age collection that blends the grounded grit of country storytelling with the faith-filled light that has guided her journey.

“This past year, I’ve spent so much time writing and praying through new songs while reflecting on the incredible story God’s been writing with my life,” shares Wilson. “’Stars’ is the sound of surrender — of letting go of my own plans and stepping fully into His. Every song is a piece of my heart and a reminder of His faithfulness. I can’t wait for you to hear it all on October 17. And I’m beyond excited to share that The STARS Tour is coming to cities across the country this fall — it’s going to be such a joy to sing these songs with all of you and celebrate this journey together!”

The STARS Tour – with special guest Jordan Rowe – will bring Wilson’s new music to life on stages across the country, starting October 18 in Nashville at The Pinnacle. Pre-sale for Wilson’s Hey Girl Nation begins today, August 13 at 10 a.m. local time, with general on-sale launching Friday, August 15 at 10 a.m. local time via annewilsonofficial.com.

Stars will also feature music from Wilson’s recent God Story EP, including the faith-fueled “Devil Is Too,” the soaring title track “God Story,” which is currently climbing the charts at Christian radio, the heartfelt “Twenty Three,” in memory of her late brother Jacob, and the road ready “’Til The Road Runs Out.”

The announcements of Wilson’s album and tour arrive during a landmark season for the award-winning artist who recently celebrated new career milestones: two billion career streams and an RIAA Gold certification for fan-favorite single “Sunday Sermons.” Wilson was surprised with these accolades during her final weekend on the road opening stadiums for Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem Tour. 

Wilson also headlined a benefit show on August 11, where she helped raise more than $100,000 for tornado recovery efforts across Eastern Kentucky for The Sheppard Family Foundation‘s direct work with families in London, Ky. and Laurel County as well as the region-wide Appalachian Tornado Relief Fun

Following her sophomore album REBEL in April 2024, which earned praise from Billboard for “fully fusing the two genres” and was hailed by People as a “trailblazing album​​,” Wilson has continued to bridge country grit with Christian conviction in a way that’s entirely her own.The record cemented Wilson’s reputation as “​​one of contemporary music’s freshest new voices” (People), blending country and Christian influences with a bold, authentic voice that resonated with fans across both genres.

PLATINUM-certified, GRAMMY-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson returned to her home state of Kentucky for a powerful cause, raising over $100,000 through a headline benefit concert at Corbin Arena in support of tornado recovery efforts across Eastern Kentucky.

Last night’s event was presented by Rural King, America’s largest privately owned farm and home retailer, and benefited both The Sheppard Family Foundation‘s direct work with families in London, Ky. and Laurel County and the region-wide Appalachian Tornado Relief Fund, organized by the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky and the Upper Cumberland Community Foundation. In May 2025, a deadly tornado struck Eastern Kentucky, and the Lexington, Ky. native felt called to respond with hope and help through music.

“As a Kentucky girl, this one hit close to home,” shared Anne Wilson. “I’m overwhelmed by God’s grace and the generosity He stirred in people’s hearts last night. Whether you bought a ticket, prayed over this event or simply showed up to worship together – thank you. These communities are still healing, but I know God is moving, and I pray this brings them one step closer to feeling whole again.”

Hosted by Lexington 98.1 The Bull’s DeAnn Stephens, the night opened with a performance of “REBEL,” and continued with selections from her brand-new God Story EP, including “’Til The Road Runs Out,” “Devil Is Too” and “23,” offering a message of faith, healing and resilience to the crowd deeply impacted by the recent tragedy.

“We are so thankful for the generosity of Anne Wilson and her team for creating such a wonderful event,” shared Kristin Walker Collins, CEO of the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky. “Anne’s talent is only outshined by her giving and joyful spirit, and everyone in attendance was so kind and uplifting of the Appalachian Tornado Relief Fund. The turnout was incredible, the music was fabulous, and it was all for a great cause.”

“Rural King is proud to have a strong presence in Kentucky and to support the communities our stores serve,” shared Phil Reiter, Rural King Vice President of Marketing and E-Commerce. “We were honored to partner with Anne Wilson, The Sheppard Family Foundation, and the Appalachian Tornado Relief Fund to help raise funds for the tornado relief efforts in Eastern Kentucky and to assist families as they work to rebuild their lives.”

The concert marked a heartfelt moment in a banner year for Anne Wilson, who just wrapped a two-weekend run on Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem Tour and was recently honored with two new career milestones: two billion career streams and an RIAA Gold certification for fan-favorite single “Sunday Sermons.”

Grammy-nominated breakout artist Forrest Frank made his biggest career chart debut this week with “c”, in collaboration with The Figs—meanwhile breaking records in Christian music.

“Lemonade” is currently No. 2 on several Billboard charts for its first charting frame, including the Hot Christian Songs, the Christian Streaming Songs, and the all-genres Digital Song Sales. 

It also tops the Christian Digital Song Sales—Frank’s second consecutive leading debut on the chart, following last week’s “God’s Got My Back”.  Most significantly, the song is also hitting No. 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 17 on the Recorded Music New Zealand (RMNZ) Hot 40 Singles.

Excluding holiday-themed singles, this makes Frank the only Christian artist to receive two Hot 100 charted hits—let alone at the same time.  This also marks the first time that three Christian songs have appeared on the Hot 100 at once: “Lemonade” (No. 77), Frank’s own “Your Way’s Better” (No. 68, after a No. 61 peak), and the Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll collaboration “Hard Fought Hallelujah” (No. 87, after a No. 40 peak)

“Lemonade”, “God’s Got My Back”, and the most recent addition, “Selah”, each were inspired by a skateboarding injury, leaving Frank in bed for two weeks with a fractured back. “Lemonade” was spawned by a video from Youtubers Bailey Gillen and Micah Yoder—better known as The Figs—attempting to recreate Frank’s style in a humorous way.  After seeing the video and asking for a collaboration, Frank released the song as an official single on August 1, 2025—from there, it received significant streaming and digital sale attention.

“Lemonade” marks Frank’s personal biggest chart debut since first appearing on the scene in 2017—including the RIAA triple-platinum pop hit “Sunday Best” (2019). “Lemonade” debuted at No. 1 on iTunes’ overall song charts. The song is also the biggest Christian song debut of 2025.

LOS ANGELES, CA — Beloved former child actress Parker McKenna Posey P/k/a Parker in the music realm is stepping boldly into the music scene with her highly anticipated debut album, Just a Girl. The project marks a new chapter in her creative journey—one that blends her Hollywood roots with a fresh, unapologetic sound.

Her latest single, “LA Boogie”, is a vibrant, West Coast-inspired anthem that takes Parker back to her hometown of Los Angeles. Equal parts nostalgic and empowering, the track captures the city’s signature energy while delivering a strong message of self-worth, independence and girl power.

“‘LA Boogie’ is all about loving yourself enough to walk away from what doesn’t serve you,” Parker says. “It’s a reminder to stop wasting time on losers and keep moving forward like the queen you are.”

Known for her breakout childhood role that made her a fan favorite, Parker has spent years evolving as an artist. Her upcoming album, Just a Girl showcases her growth—pairing catchy hooks and slick production with authentic storytelling about love, resilience, and finding your voice.

With “LA Boogie” as her latest release, Parker’s music era promises infectious confidence and a fearless attitude—part hip hop, part RnB, part Alternative, making it a perfect soundtrack for girls everywhere who are ready to level up.

Just a Girl is set to release later this year, with “LA Boogie” available on all major streaming platforms.

Just a Girl marks her official debut as a recording artist, promising a fresh perspective from a familiar face.

GRAMMY-nominated, Dove Award-winning breakout artist Forrest Frank has been taking social media by storm, sharing updates following a skateboarding accident caught on video in which he suffered fractures of the L3 and L4 vertebrae in his back.

Forrest Frank channeled his pain into creativity with his new viral song “God’s Got My Back” and documented the intimate and vulnerable process of crafting music from bed in videos that have amassed over 42M combined views. The song became Atlantic Music Group’s top U.S. streaming debut with 2M worldwide streams in just one week.

Next came “Lemonade,” a chart-topping collab that came out of organic and fun Instagram chats between Frank and The Figs, proclaiming healing and joy amid pain. The song quickly hit No.1 on both iTunes Overall Genre and Christian Songs charts.

Now, Forrest has shared that exactly 2 weeks after suffering these serious injuries, he has witnessed miraculous healing. He posted on Instagram that he was shocked to find one morning his pain was gone, and when he went for updated x-rays, he says there was no sign of fractures in his back any longer.

“I’m pretty much convinced God would’ve healed me day 1 from all these prayers, but He wanted these songs & this testimony come to life. Regardless, I’m here for it all…ruined for the ordinary. THANK YOU JESUS,” Forrest Frank posted on Instagram.

Frank recently opened up about the broader context of how he has seen God moving in his life while being on break following his completely sold-out “Child Of God II” Arena Tour. He says the Holy Spirit has been moving him to capture and share his journey in the music industry, and he hopes he may inspire others to give their lives to Jesus like he did.

Bethel Music recently gathered worship leaders, students, and alumni at Bethel Church’s College View campus in Redding, Calif., to celebrate a major milestone: 25 years since Brian and Jenn Johnson began leading the ministry that has become a global powerhouse in modern worship.

The special anniversary event also marked the kickoff of the 25th year of Bethel Music Worship School—the immersive training program that was founded a quarter-century ago, which continues to equip worship leaders worldwide.

The celebration honored the Johnsons’ visionary leadership and enduring impact on worship culture. Attendees paid tribute to Brian and Jenn’s decades of dedication.

Iconic worship leaders shared heartfelt acknowledgments, including CeCe Winans, who said, “Thank you for leading the world in worship for 25 years. You have been a blessing to my life,” Chris Tomlin, who reflected, “You’ll never know this side of heaven, but one day you’ll see in full the incredible impact,” and Darlene Zschech, who celebrated the Johnsons’ faithfulness and anointing.

Since officially debuting their music ministry in 2001 and releasing their first album, “Here Is Love” (2010), Bethel Music has become synonymous with modern worship innovation. Their expansive catalog includes 14 live albums, three studio albums, numerous singles, and over 70 music videos. Landmark projects such as “Tides” and “Revival’s in the Air” have topped Christian music charts in the U.S. and the U.K., influencing worshipers worldwide.

Also celebrating its 25th year, Bethel Music Worship School began as a small gathering in Redding and has grown into a flagship event offering immersive training in worship leadership, songwriting, theology, and spiritual growth.

This year’s Worship School marked its largest attendance ever, drawing more than 1,000 attendees from over 25 countries at the Redding campus, in addition to an expanded experience that allowed participants to join from anywhere through a dynamic online/livestream format. This record-breaking turnout reflects the expanding global impact of the Johnsons’ ministry and the enduring hunger for authentic, Spirit-led worship.

Says Jenn Johnson, “Getting to celebrate 25 years of our ministry and Bethel Music’s Worship School this year was so special and a week we will never forget. Worship has always been and always will be the heartbeat of our lives.

When you say yes to God and trust Him with your life, He will do far more than you could ever ask or imagine…and what a beautiful and wild ride these past 25 years have been. This Worship School was holy – we came with surrendered hearts and open hands, and we left in awe and wonder of all that God did. The presence of God marked us deeply and our lives are forever changed!”

Over the past two and a half decades, the Johnsons have played a foundational role in shaping the sound and theology of modern worship through their songwriting, leadership, and dedication to building up worship leaders and the global Church. From pioneering worship anthems sung around the world to developing a global collective of worship leaders, their ministry continues to influence millions.

Three-time GRAMMY Award-winning gospel trailblazer Tye Tribbett announces he is hitting the road this fall with the We Outside Tour. The 17-city tour brings together some of the most influential and emerging voices in faith and music for what is pegged to be an unforgettable nationwide run.

The We Outside Tour kicks off October 28 in Charlotte, NC, and makes stops in major cities including Atlanta, Brooklyn, Detroit, and Memphis before wrapping November 22 in Houston, TX. Joining Tye Tribbett on select dates are viral pastor and bestselling author Mike Todd and his musical collective Transformation Worship, making their first-ever national tour appearance.

Also joining the lineup is powerhouse gospel vocalist Kierra Sheard, bringing her signature vocal fire and faith-fueled energy to the stage. Gospel newcomer ANTHNY will open on select dates. Each night will bring audiences a blend of high-energy praise, bold worship, and transformational moments that reach far beyond the stage.

“This tour isn’t just about music—it’s a call to action,” says Tye Tribbett. “We’re stepping outside of our comfort zones, outside the church walls, and into our communities. I want people to leave these shows not just inspired, but empowered to live their faith out loud.” Tribbett adds, “My message is that the true believers in God are not only in the church. We’re outside. We’re boots on the ground. We’re serving, we’re loving, we’re helping people, we’re forgiving. The real church is outside. A lot of religious people only think godly thoughts in the church, but that shouldn’t be the case. Everything we learn in church is to equip us to be outside.”

Kierra Sheard adds, “I’m so honored and hype to be a part of this tour! I’m believing God to move in every city, every room, and every heart. I’m expecting freedom, healing, and breakthrough — and I can’t wait to worship with y’all!”

Pastor Mike Todd shares, “There will be nothing that has happened like what’s about to happen here. The energy, the anointing, the spirit-led moves, and more than anything, the one name that will be made famous: JESUS! We Outside, PULL UP!”
