FAITHFUL Releases “Harbor” Off New Album

FAITHFUL releases their newest single, “Harbor,” an acoustic song with delicate harmonies and lyrics inspired by an excerpt from Psalm 46: “Be still, and know that I am God.” With disruptions all around, we are invited to find stillness and refuge in God.

“It’s a good gift in friendship to study words and melodies together as we did in the FAITHFUL project when we wrote this one; to play with these creative blocks like colors and shapes and to see how the Spirit of God makes something beautiful out of our collective efforts.” “Harbor” reminds listeners to cling to Jesus in the clamor of business, inviting everyone to live in the peace of Christ.

Ke’Erron Releases “Chances” Ft. Evan Craft

Worship pastor and recording artist, Ke’Erron (Sims) releases his first single – a live recording – with Integrity Music. Titled “Chances,” the new song is a moving testimony of God’s unfailing love and forgiveness in the artist’s life and the lives of others. It was written with Mitch Wong and one of Ke’Erron’s dear friends, Evan Craft, as they shared stories of God redeeming relationships with their fathers.

The latter also features on the release. Growing up, Ke’Erron’s dad was in and out of jail and battled drug addiction, which left him feeling resentful and alone.

“It was hard for me to receive God’s love because of the perspective of my father,” he recalled, and asked himself, “How do I see the Father rightly if I have this grudge against my own dad?”

“Chances” is his response to that question, and he hopes it will encourage listeners to not give up on their loved ones and to forgive as Christ forgives.

Born in Trinidad and Tobago, Ke’Erron is a bilingual artist (English and Spanish) with a heart for nations and various cultures, aiming to create opportunities for people to experience God through music. His artistry blends pop, worship, CCM and gospel with his primary aim to tell stories of God’s selfless, life-giving love that changes everything.

[Music] Higher – Uniekgrace

Uniekgrace, a multi-talented billboard-charted singer-songwriter, has released a mesmerizing new song titled “HIGHER”.

This vibrant Afrobeat/Afropop track sets the stage with an infectious dance groove that captivates from the first beat to the last, offering a compelling conviction of Uniekgrace’s unwavering devotion to being God’s ambassador on earth.

Uniekgrace’s intention extends beyond its infectious dance appeal; the song seeks to inspire listeners to embrace and celebrate the significance of God’s power and presence in their lives.

“The power in the name of Jesus  has saved me more times than I can count”, says Uniekgrace. “I have experienced many low moments as an independent artist but what always baffles me is the way God always lets me understand that I am still on top. I am on a journey, He reminds me. However, even as a christian, I have doubted myself over and over; But the moment I realised that in my low moments, lifting up the name of Jesus is my ticket to freedom and abundance, I had more peace of mind.

HIGHER is my song of conviction in my faith as a Christian and I am fully unashamed of the gospel. It is an energetic afro-gospel sound that will literally shake off depression!

The vibe from the start to finish of the song will make the listener want to listen again.

Creating this song with my producer took me through a lot of emotions, travelling through my up to date seven years journey as an independent artist and still feeling like a winner regardless of all the highs and many lows”.

ABOUT

«Being an artist was never to seek for self glory or any personal agenda»

As a devoted wife, mother of four, registered nurse, and fashionista, Uniekgrace’s music reflects her core values of family, culture, and faith, drawing from her diverse experiences growing up across Italy, Switzerland, the USA, Nigeria, and Belgium.

With an EP and seven singles to her name, including the chart-topping “No Dulling,” Uniekgrace has humbly garnered international recognition, with mention on the American Billboard and widespread airplay. Her collaborations with esteemed artists further underscore her commitment to reaching diverse audiences and sharing her faith through music. Recently, she marked One Million streams on Boomplay which got her fans wanting more music.

«Being an artist was never to seek for self glory or any personal agenda» explains Uniekgrace, «I was a rape victim and gospel music was literally my ticket from suicidal attempts, low self esteem and depression, to freedom and intentional living. Once I got my freedom, there was no way I could get my self entangled again in psychological bondage »

PROFESSIONAL WORK AND MUSIC

«I sing everywhere, even in the hospital hallways»

Uniekgrace has been working as a professional nurse for more than a decade, starting in America as a nurse assistant and eventually completing her Bachelors degree in Belgium where she now resides and practices.

If there was ever a challenging moment in her career, it was definitely during the lockdown period of 2020. « It was not easy going home from a shift and coming back the next day to discover we had lost patients again » she explains, «The worst moment was the day an isolated patient jumped from the fourth floor of the hospital window, shattering his skulls and dying on the spot. This, to be free from loneliness. God gave me a song from that incident to keep my sanity in check.

« This was a tough period but i know what music does for the soul and I took it on myself to exude joy on the unit, which I very well did. My boss would ask me sometimes to go sit with certain patients after our morning rounds. He knew what would come out of it»

It is no wonder also why they call her « the singing nurse » or as some others in her work environment call her, « singing sunshine »

Coming across other controversial topics as Euthanasia is another topic that she boldly speaks her heart about. Being God’s ambassador on earth comes with a lot of soul searching and definitely a strong sense of self identity.

SHOWS AND EVENTS

Uniekgrace was a line up artist at Limoblaze live-in-concert 2023 in Brussels, alongside Annatoria, setting the stage ablaze for their French speaking audience. She is scheduled to be a support artist for NEON ADEJO in concert at the O2 academy in June 23, 2024. As all things work out, she is set out to have her very first headline show this year in December, in Belgium. Details coming soon

Pandora Awards TobyMac With A Billionaires Plaque

Earlier this week seven-time GRAMMY-winner TobyMac was surprised by Pandora and his record label, Capitol Christian Music Group (CCMG), with numerous career accolades.

TobyMac was awarded with a Billionaires Plaque, commemorating his music having been streamed over 1 billion times on the platform.  The plaque was presented on June 11 by SiriusXM Pandora’s Al Skop, Senior Director, Music Programming.  Pandora has also celebrated artists from multiple genres over the years for reaching the milestone on its platform including Drake, DJ Khaled, Justin Bieber, Metallica, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and fellow Christian acts like Chris Tomlin, Hillsong United, MercyMe, Skillet and more.

“I am just so grateful,” said TobyMac. “I look out at all of you and see a team – some people I’ve worked with for decades, some for months, but a team that has championed my songs and helped me spread how deep and wide God’s never-ending love is, and for that I am so thankful. I love experiencing God breathing life into a song, allowing people to make that song their own and experience God’s faithfulness in their own lives – it’s why I will keep doing it ’til someone tells me I can’t anymore.”

Hosted by CCMG in their new Nashville office, the label also took the opportunity to celebrate the success of TobyMac’s LIFE AFTER DEATH project, honoring its five No.1 radio singles.  Additionally, they presented him with plaques commemorating the RIAA Gold certification of his single “Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight),” as well as for the RIAA Platinum certifications for both “Speak Life” and “City On Our Knees.”

“It’s a privilege to recognize the impact that TobyMac’s music and creativity has on the world,” adds Hudson Plachy, CCMG Co-President. “We are so proud to work alongside Toby and celebrate all of these well-deserved accomplishments.”

Last week TobyMac debuted his brand new single “Nothin’ Sweeter,” along with a coinciding lyric video. The single is the first release from an upcoming studio project (release date TBD) and follows his highly-decorated album LIFE AFTER DEATH, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Christian Albums chart, produced five number one radio hits and has surpassed 475M Global streams.

TobyMac recently received the K-LOVE Fan Award Song of the Year honor for his 2024 hit “Faithfully,” which spent nine weeks at the top spot and broke Billboard’srecord for most Christian Airplay number ones among soloists. TobyMac will be hitting the summer festival circuit this month, starting with FishFest on June 15.
