John Allan Releases Debut Centricity Music Single “Living God”

Southern California native, multi-instrumentalist and indie rock, alt-pop artist John Allan releases his Centricity Music debut single, “Living God,” which is available now at streaming and digital outlets everywhere. From the very first synth-laced chord progression, the song sonically recalls The Killers and is lyrically meant to incite awe and praise.

Written with Benji Cowart and Kyle Williams, who also produced the track, Allan says, “My prayer is that people put on ‘Living God’ and are not afraid to believe again. Maybe even someone who’s jaded, who’s mad at the church, who had this wonder when they were young. I pray they listen to this song and are able to find that wonder again and to know there is a God who created imagination; and He’s planted that in the souls of His children. I hope it shakes cars and makes darkness run.”

Inspired by the sounds of artists like The Killers, The National, Gang of Youths, Bon Iver and Novo Amor, Allan’s music is a creative feast for the senses that fuses both his sonic influences and his genuine love for Jesus. With original tracks that reflect his church-centric upbringing and love of leading worship at his local SoCal church, Allan shares, “God — He’s the fine artist. He is the giver of gifts, but He really is the gift. No matter what I do, it’s secondary to Him.

“I almost look at it like God is the big steak on the plate, and music is the fork and the knife; and I have the honor of cutting it and getting to feed it to people,” adds Allan. “Like, ‘Hey, look right here. Look how good He is.’ I create for the Creator, praying my music bridges the gap so people can experience Him.”

Superpowers is here!!! I could’ve never imagined that my life could be so flipped upside down in the most steadying way. That everything would change, but also stay the same.

I have never felt so at home in myself and in my heart. Happy World Down Syndrome Day to all and I hope you enjoy, dance, laugh, cry, post, and tag me as we shout about the Superpowers of our loved ones! -Lampa

Sanctus Real Share Transformational Message Of Hope In “The Difference”

Two-time GRAMMY-nominated, GMA Dove Award-winning and RIAA Gold-selling Sanctus Real releases “The Difference” . The single is slated to be serviced to radio in the coming weeks and follows the recent digital single “On The Mend,” eight No. 1 songs and 19 Top 10 radio hits.

Produced by the band and frequent collaborator, AJ Pruis, “The Difference” is an anthemic offering built on top of a riff Sanctus Real guitarist Chris Rohman created. Once the principle vibe of the song was recorded, lyrics were crafted by lead vocalist Dustin Lolli, Rohman and hit-making songwriters Matt Armstrong (Casting Crowns, Zach Williams) and Pruis (Matthew West, Anne Wilson) as they began talking about the transformational role of hope in a believer’s life.

“We’ve all felt like hope has been missing in our world for a while,” Lolli offers. “We go to churches all over the country, and it’s become one of our greatest mission fields, because we see so many depressed and sad people in the church. So, we are in a season of writing songs about hope. When you put your faith in Jesus, He doesn’t just give you hope; He is our hope.”

“This song points to one thing only as the reason we believe we are transformed into new creations, and that’s through a relationship with Jesus,” adds Rohman. “It’s a declaration of what we believe is possible through Jesus.”

The transformational hope the band is focused on in the writing room as they work toward their next album, their fourth full-length project with Lolli, is also a value that compels them to take their music across the country.

“We still love getting out there on the road and meeting people and making that personal, face-to-face connection. We don’t want a screen to constantly be between them and us. We literally put it in our band name 29 years ago; we want to be real. We want everything we do to be authentic,” drummer Mark Graalman offers. “I feel like we’re a better live band now than we’ve ever been.”

Taking the new music and fan favorites on the road, Sanctus Real will announce a major market headline tour soon and will play a handful of tour dates this month featuring special guest JJ Weeks. The events include:

Wed, MAR 26 Spartanburg, SC Tickets

Thu, MAR 27 York, SC Tickets

Fri, MAR 28 Plum Branch, SC Tickets

Cochren & Co. Joins We Are Messengers On New Version Of “A Thousand Times”

Curb Records band We Are Messengers adds chart-topping Gotee Records collective Cochren & Co. to their current radio single, “A Thousand Times.”

Already the top streaming song from We Are Messengers’ fourth studio album, Where The Joy Is, “A Thousand Times” recounts all the personal ways God has come through. On this fresh version, both frontmen deliver faith-elevating lyrics against a wall of crunchy guitars and propulsive drums.

Cochren & Co. lead singer Michael Cochren, who also co-penned Crowder’s recent multi-week No. 1, “Somebody Prayed,” helms the fist-pumping anthem’s second verse. Together, he and We Are Messengers’ Darren Mulligan declare that God’s been good a thousand times, and He’ll be good a thousand times more. Mulligan wrote “A Thousand Times” with Jonathan Smith and Ethan Hulse, while Jeff Pardo and Kyle Williams produced the track.
