Bethel Music announces the release of a new collaboration with Jenn Johnson feat. CeCe Winans, “HOLY FOREVER.”. Listen to the song. “HOLY FOREVER” is a powerful anthem declaring the holiness and greatness of God — the name above all names. Inspiration for the track came in the summer of 2023, when CeCe Winans joined as a guest at Bethel Music’s annual Worship School. CeCe and Jenn Johnson leading “HOLY FOREVER” together was a moment that marked the week, and the hearts of all attending.

Says Jenn (also co-founder of Bethel Music), “Getting to lead ‘Holy Forever’ with CeCe last summer was truly a dream come true for me. Little girl Jenn would have never believed all these years later I would get to lead alongside one of my heroes. This song has been so special to me, and it was even sweeter getting to lead it with CeCe. It marked a moment for all of us that week, and I’m so excited we finally get to share it with everyone.”

Fresh off the heels of his landmark 50th career #1 hit with “Don’t Lose Heart” in 2023, celebrated Christian music icon Steven Curtis Chapman returns with an upbeat and nostalgic new release, “Do It Again“.

Collaborating with “The Dream Team”, which includes his longtime producer, Brent Milligan, Ben Shive and his sons Caleb and Will Franklin Chapman of the band Colony House, who co-wrote, co-produced, and played on the track, Chapman continues to innovate and inspire with his latest single.

“Do It Again” resonates with Chapman’s signature blend of heartfelt lyricism, captivating melodies and a “snappy beat that makes ya wanna get up and dance!”… ala “The Great Adventure”, “Dive”, and “Live Out Loud.”

The song, inspired by a potent quote from writer G.K. Chesterton that has had significant impact in Chapman life, explores themes of God’s enduring love and the idea that He never gets tired of doing over and over again the things that show us His love, His grace and His goodness. As the lyric says, “Maybe every morning when the sun breaks thru / God’s saying ‘I’ll do it again’”.

The collaboration between Chapman and his sons underscore a family bond and creative synergy that shines through in every note. Before becoming artist in their own right, Caleb and Will Franklin played in Steven’s band and toured with him from 2007-2011. “I love the energy and fun my boys helped bring to this song. It’s the perfect summer song to crank up loud and sing along to!” Chapman shares in a post on his social media.

Bob Thornton, Program Director at KXOJ Tulsa, states, “It takes a masterful songwriter and someone who has walked with the Lord long enough to find the beautiful illustrations Steven has woven into Do It Again and the modern feel Steven and his sons bring to the track is over the top.. this is what the summer of ‘24 needed!”

Chapman is currently gearing up for two tours this fall starting in September.

Judge and Jury Records’ rising rock / metal artist Caleb Hyles globally releases “UNPARALYZED” featuring Teerawk (aka Trevor McNevan) of Thousand Foot Krutch to digital and streaming outlets today (June 28).

Written by Hyles along with Teerawk, Dustin Bates (Starset) and Cody Quistad (Wage War), “UNPARALYZED” was masterfully recorded by a trio of renowned, hit-making producers: Howard Benson (Skillet, Flyleaf, Seether, Daughtry), Joe Rickard (Breaking Benjamin, RED, Theory Of A Deadman), and Neil Sanderson (Three Days Grace).

“Our Earth, our family, our longing to strive for ‘better,’ all this noise can be paralyzing. This fear can be controlling,” says Hyles. “We have been dreaming of waking from this cycle ‘unparalyzed.’ Now, we can shape the world through love. We can make a difference for the last, the lost, and the least.”

“I think anyone can relate to moments or seasons in life where you feel ‘stuck.’ Being held back or feeling stuck too long can feel paralyzing,” notes Teerawk. “I’ve had times where I felt like that and, in the moment, would’ve given anything to feel ‘unparalyzed.’ The realization that we’re not alone and were created for much more than this, is vulnerable yet freeing.”

The new single follows Hyles’ release of “Darkness Before The Dawn (Feat. Lacey Sturm)” and “Never Back Down (Feat. Manafest)” that have collectively received nearly three million views on YouTube alone.

sixstepsrecords/Capitol Christian Music Group’s Sean Curran will release his first full-length studio project, Basic Faith, on August 9th. Today two new tracks from the upcoming debut are available along with the pre-order. Listen to the title track and his version of “He Who Is to Come,” which was previously released on Passion’s latest album, co-written by Curran with Cody Carnes and Kristian Stanfill.

“Jesus came to do more than get us into heaven, He came to get heaven into us,” shares Sean Curran about this album. “The idea that God wants to be discovered in our everyday lives is weaved throughout this album. I think we can tend to build in our imagination a world where we only relate to God in spectacular settings, but that is not where we spend most of our time.

That’s why I like the word ‘Basic.’ It’s less about simple or easy, and more akin to something like fundamental or foundational. Often we want something from faith that it isn’t trying to give us. Faith isn’t about knowing what’s around every corner, it’s about trusting WHO is leading the way.”

Although this is his first full-length studio project, Curran has established himself as a thoughtful and creative songwriter since his first record deal at 22 years old with the Billboard chart-ranking band Bellarive. Since 2018, he has been part of the sixstepsrecords family delivering a long list of songs such as “Bigger Than I Thought,” “Glorious Day,” “1000 Names” and most recently “He Who Is To Come.” Known for his unique artistry, Basic Faith captures new styles and sounds that will give the listener a path to take them back to the fundamentals of their faith.
