CAN YOU IMAGINE?, the new album from GRAMMY Award-winning group Elevation Worship, has topped the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart this week. Their 16th career project, which is also their 7th album to hit No. 1, was released on May 19th and offers eight new live songs that were created to reignite the hearts of believers.

Additionally, “More Than Able,” the album’s first single, also tops the Hot Gospel Songs chart this week. The powerful anthem, led by Chandler Moore and Tiffany Hudson, sings the theme of the entire project: 

“Can you imagine with all the faith in the room / what the Lord can do? / It’s gonna happen just let the Way Maker through / He’s gonna move / Anything is possible / Who am I to deny what the Lord can do? / You are more than able / Who am I to deny what the Lord can do?”

Sharing more about the project, Elevation Worship singer and songwriter Chris Brown explains, “We want someone to listen to this album and know that God is still writing their story. Our hope is that these songs will stir an awareness of His goodness.”

Featured in an exclusive with Billboard about the album’s immediate success, Brown says, “We’re blown away by the response to our new album and how it’s pointing people to Jesus. It’s reminding us that He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine in and through our lives.”

Brown and other members of Elevation Worship will be sharing their new songs as well as a few fan favorites when they appear live on “Fox & Friends’ All American Concert Series” Friday, July 14th. You won’t want to miss this very special concert event as they worship in New York City this summer. 

GRAMMY-nominated rock band NEEDTOBREATHE is set to bring their “high-energy, infectious” (Music Row) live show to arenas across the country this fall with “The CAVES World Tour.” The first leg of the tour is set to kick off October 13 in Savannah, GA, and will feature alternative rock band Judah & The Lion as special guests. 

Tickets will be available starting Monday, June 5 with an Insider presale. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning Friday, June 9 at NEEDTOBREATHE.com.

NEEDTOBREATHE has built a “massive live following” (Rolling Stone) and developed a reputation for their energetic “southern groove” (New York Times) and “some of the best vocal performances, instrumentation, and stage presence” (Toronto Star).

The tour will support NEEDTOBREATHE’S ninth studio album CAVES, which is set to release this fall. The collection will feature a new batch of songs “that will be brimming with anthemic arena-worthy sounds” (American Songwriter).

“CAVES is the most ambitious album we’ve made so far, and it really feels like a new chapter for us as a band,” said NEEDTOBREATHE frontman Bear Rinehart. “We can’t wait to take this new energy to our fans on the road and perform these songs live. It’s going to be special.”

Pete Price, the award-nominated singer-songwriter, has just released his latest single and accompanying music video titled “Common Ground.” This timely release comes at a moment when political division in America has reached new heights, with the nation more polarized than ever before.

The lyrics of “Common Ground” carry a powerful message of unity and togetherness, urging Americans to leave their partisanship behind and strive to find a middle ground that can bring the nation together once again. The inspiration for the song comes from the tragic events of the Kent State Massacre in 1970 and the unity that briefly followed the aftermath of 9/11.

Pete Price said, “We can’t wait for another tragedy to bring us together. We need to find common ground in our everyday lives and learn to communicate with each other again. Politics should not be the only thing that defines us as individuals, and we need to learn to respect each other’s beliefs and opinions.”

The powerful music video for “Common Ground” was directed by Price. It features a diverse group of people coming together in a peaceful demonstration, urging listeners to put aside their differences and find ways to work together effectively.
