A New Heaven And A New Earth Artist Micah Tyler Releases “So Will I”

Chart-topping recording artist and songwriter Micah Tyler releases “So Will I”

The song is the sixth single from the multi-artist A New Heaven And A New Earth project, which celebrates the beauty of God’s Creation and calls believers to be faithful stewards of the world. The full-length A New Heaven And A New Earth project is slated to premiere June 2024.

Co-writing “So Will I” with Dove Awards-nominated Garrett Moshier (CAIN), who also produced the single, Tyler drew inspiration for the beautifully crafted ballad from both the Old and New Testaments.

“The hook of the song is a little bit of a play on words from John 3:16,” says Tyler. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. And the world that they’re talking about in that context is the people of the world – that God would love us so much that he would give his son Jesus. That was the jumping off point for me to start looking back and seeing God’s dominion over Creation.

“If you look back at the beginning in Genesis, every time that He would create – the light, the stars, the moon, the oceans – He would say that it was good,” continues Tyler. “If God would love this world, put this thing together and call this thing good, I think there’s a challenge for us to do the same.

‘So Will I’ is just me going, OK, God, I want to make sure I’m worshipping you on top of these mountains that you created and from the depths of these canyons that you carved out. It’s my response to this beautiful world that you call good.”

Jason Gray’s ‘Land Of The Living’ Album Out Now

Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Jason Gray releases his full-length album, Land of the Living. On the new album, this beloved Centricity Music recording artist is less of a host and more of a participant in the stories he’s telling.

Rather than leading listeners on a journey revolving around a central theme like he did with 2020’s Order Disorder Reorder, this album serves up a batch of pop-friendly, radio-ready contenders primed for conversation.

“Concept albums tend to ask something of the listener,” Gray says in regard to Land of the Livings predecessor. “This record is a little bit more, ‘Thank you for your attention. That was the meat. Let’s have a little dessert.’”

This cherry-on-top addition to his catalog is full of meaningful songs marked by Gray’s remarkable ability to plumb the depths of the human experience — all within the confines of a three-minute pop song.

For each of the dozen tracks on Land of the Living, there’s always one question Gray asks when he walks into a writing room: How do we tell the truth today? Yet, he proposes there’s another question that’s often a quicker route to the heart of the matter: What are we afraid to talk about today?

He discovered the answer to that question when he penned “Worth Staying For,” arguably the most personal song of his entire career. Written with Andy Gullahorn, the autobiographical selection uncovers Gray’s scars as he shares his core fear of abandonment, a wound inflicted in his childhood when his father left, and that was reopened years later during a painful divorce.

“I was scared to release that one,” he confesses, “because as a writer, you don’t want to be the victim or the hero of your songs.” Gray ultimately holds himself accountable as he traces the trauma from its point of entry to the ways “pain will be transmitted if it doesn’t get transformed.”

Other topics he covers on Land of the Living aren’t nearly as heavy, yet, just like Gray, they’re exceptionally thoughtful. He excavates Psalm 27 on the title-cut, explores childlike wonder on “When I Grow Up,” celebrates biblical manhood on “Good Man” and wrestles with doubt on “Questions.”

Lead single “Place For Me,” produced and engineered by GRAMMY Award-winning Jeff Sojka (Jeremy Camp, Crowder) and mixed by Sean Moffit (Chris Tomlin, NEEDTOBREATHE), was birthed out of Gray’s own weighty baggage from the church, a place he’s ultimately found to be a refuge for the sinner and saint alike.

“At its best, the church offers a place of belonging based on our need for grace, for each other, for help and for guidance,” Gray says of the message behind the upbeat offering he co-wrote with Matt Armstrong and Ethan Hulse. “

It’s where different people, who don’t necessarily agree with each other, come together and manage to point their hearts in the same direction for a couple hours every week, and that’s beautiful.”

Land of the Living also features the tongue-in-cheek quirkiness of “Jesus Loves You (And I’m Trying),” the pop-centric “Be Kind,” and the Gospel-inflected, choir-assisted “When I Say Yes.”

While his music has always given listeners a safe space to work out the details of life, faith and relationship, the veteran artist reveals that he finds himself writing from a different perspective on Land of the Living. “I now see songwriting as trying to offer healing language to the world,” Gray says. “

It makes it less egocentric. It’s not about me expressing myself. Instead, it’s about me trying to love my audience well by writing words that might help them express things they need better language for.”

Vineyard Worship Releases “Arms Of Love”

Vineyard Worship announces their third and final single, “Arms of Love,” recorded live at Dreaming The Impossible, a festival for young people from churches everywhere which grew to 4,000 this past summer. “Arms Of Love,” written by Craig Musseau, was first published by Vineyard Worship in 1991 and has been rearranged and reimagined for a new generation by the Dreaming The Impossible band.

Worship leaders Jon Solway and Beth McNeil explain why the song is a perfect fit for young people in 2023: “This song, while it may be a blast from the past, has a unique way of drawing us into deep intimacy with Jesus, reminding us that God extends loving arms towards us, where we can rest secure in the love of Jesus and trust that He is in control.”

Vineyard Worship hope that, in recording this song, a new generation will be able to grasp the Father’s love for them, the peace that He gives, and the intimacy that is available through Jesus.

Joel Caws Releases First Christmas Song “He Is Born”

Joel Caws, a singer/songwriter and worship leader based in the UK has just released his first ever Christmas song titled ‘He Is Born’.

Joel has been releasing music for over 3 years and this is his first ever song release written especially for the Christmas season.

About the new song release, Joel comments “I’m so excited to release my first ever Christmas song. This song is so different from my usual congregational worship style songs as it tells more of a story – the story of that very first Christmas!”

Joel shares more about the challenges behind the song: “I’ve been keen to release a Christmas song for several years so I made it my mission from early this year to write a Christmas themed song for this coming festive period.  I settled on the Christmas story as a theme quite quickly and initially thought this would turn out to be a worship style song much like my other releases.

As my producer worked on this song we hit on the idea of using more acoustic instruments rather than electric. The result was a beautiful symphony of horns and strings that accompany the story, with subtle percussion and bells to give that Christmas feel.”

Of his wish for others to engage with the new song release, Joel says “This song really turned out to be more like painting a picture than writing a song. My desire is that those that listen will be transported into the scene of that very first Christmas in that stable in Bethlehem; to capture that pivotal moment in history when God stepped into the world in the person of Jesus Christ.”

Sarah Kroger Releases First Christmas EP ‘Light Has Come’

Sarah Kroger releases “Light Has Come,” her first-ever Christmas project featuring worshipful originals and festive classics. Having done a Christmas tour for the past decade and having released a few songs for the occasion last year, she expands her seasonal setlist with the new EP. Her heart to unite the Church in worship shining through each track.

“Light Has Come” introduces Sarah’s new song “Ave (King of Kings)” written with Matt Maher and Nick Herbert. The song is based on the powerful canticle of Mary from Luke chapter 1. “In my opinion, this prayer shows that she was a woman of great faith who understood that God had a plan for her life beyond what she could comprehend for herself,” Sarah commented.
