Contemporary Gospel singer, Ebi Oginni releases powerful song of prayer titled “Start With Me”.
This song is a prayer for the church, a declaration over the nations that God helps us live the authentic lives He’s called us to live. A declaration that we live the life of power and authority He has called us to live, starting with us.
I pray as you listen this prayer becomes your prayer. This song seemed to write itself, like a download from the HolySpirit.
“I truly believe that as we pray it over selves and the nations we will see God’s hand” – Ebi Oginni
Marizu unveils forthcoming EP; a spectacular display of his vibrant, infectious sound and colorful lyricism. From his first ever headline show in Lagos, Nigeria, to his UK debut at Solos London; this project rounds up a year of important milestones for the artist.
Like all of Marizu’s Melodies, “Masterpiece” immediately makes us crave the richness of solitude and introspection.
Starting off with the first track “You” which sets the tone for the EP, Marizu looks at his personal journey of finding a new and more meaningful life in Christ. Moving on to the second tune and the first single to be released, “Reason,” Marizu shares the story of how he drowned as a child adding that “God is the reason why I’m alive today.”
Then, listeners are introduced to more upbeat afro sounds, “Masterpiece” and “From The Clay” with Limoblaze. Towards the end of the EP experience, he winds down with a slight vibe-shift in “Your Love,” setting the ground for the explosion that is the closing track, “Big God,” a father/son duo that teased the EP release.

“This EP is about becoming a new creation in Christ. It speaks on embracing yourself as God has made you – special, beautiful and without any flaws. I titled it Masterpiece because that is what we are in God’s eyes. I hope that everyone who comes across any of these tracks realises just how special they are.”
“Masterpiece” is an alleviating body of work to be listened to with bare ears and an open heart.
Well, Thanksgiving is in the air. The weather is getting colder, the daytime is getting shorter, and as people reflect on 2023, today, Branan Murphy releases his new song “Thankful.” Dove Award winning producer of the year Jordan Sapp produced and co-wrote the song with Murphy.
The ballad shares the message that no matter what the circumstances are in life, that he should always keep a grateful heart.
It has been a very busy 2023 for Branan Murphy. With songs like “Life Is Hard. God Is Good.”, “Still”, his hit single “Look At What Grace Can Do” and more, “Thankful” is his 8th song release this year. So, what’s next for 2024? A new album titled Life Is Hard. God Is Good. Announcements coming soon.
The former Flyleaf lead singer offers the project to the world independently, led by a string of arresting singles including “Awaken Love,” “Reconcile” and “Breathe With Me.”
The album’s enigmatic title is drawn from two Greek words: “kenosis,” referring to a state of emptying of self, and “metanoia,” referring to deep change and altering of course.
Together, Lacey Sturm says that the title captures a moment when you start to see the truth about reality that you didn’t see before. “Kenotic metanoia” is the demand to address and respond to that truth, a call to leave one version of yourself behind.
“All these songs have been for my own heart,” Lacey has said. “When David sings the Psalms, a lot of the time he’s telling his soul what to do. That’s me too in this: telling my soul, singing what I know to be true.”
That truth ranges from the life-force found in “Breathe With Me” to the relinquishment of “Not Your Fight.” These songs are both intimately personal and appropriately mysterious, a glimpse into a deep spiritual process of surrender.
Contemplating the human experience, Lacey says, “Are we going to suffer? Do I need to fight against it, or do I stand and embrace whatever comes? Do I reject suffering and pain, or do I stand and walk through it so I can grow spiritually and see that there’s a strength I didn’t know was there?”

“My strength is made perfect in weakness,” the songstress continues, quoting the scripture. “You lay down your life and you become like Christ. He taught us what it’s like to be human: it’s to willingly lay your life down for love’s sake. It’s walking through that and learning compassion.”
The songs found on Kenotic Metanoia show the full range of both Lacey’s songwriting and vocals skills, fittingly for one of the most lauded voices in hard rock. Her distinctive scorching vocal tones combine with husband Josh Sturm’s broiling guitar riffs. The result is an album that promises to deliver on consistently heating fan hype.
The album also follows a successful summer of Flyleaf reunion dates, featuring Lacey at the band’s helm. With major appearances at festivals like Sick New World and Rockfest, Flyleaf proved that their fanbase is as moved as ever by their emotive hard rock.
GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum rock band NEEDTOBREATHE debuts today a new version of “Fall On Me” featuring five-time GRAMMY Award-winning music collective Maverick City Music. The track is from their latest album, CAVES, which dropped this fall.
CAVES is a collection of awe-inspiring melodies, breathtaking instrumentation and epic-scale energy, giving the band’s soul-probing approach a bigger, more expansive new scope––one that American Songwriter writes is “brimming with anthemic, arena-worthy sounds” and has “larger-than-life productions.” “The CAVES World Tour” is extending into 2024; for their latest tour schedule

Contemporary Christian singer/songwriter and inspirational speaker Briana Domenica is excited about the worldwide release of her powerful new music video, “Here I Stand.” Emerging from raw emotion and a deeply personal place, Domenica takes viewers on her fight through the darkness of despair; battling doubts and fears.
With God by her side along with her faith, strength, and determination she stands victorious in the battle. “Here I Stand” was written to uplift and provide hope for tomorrow. The video exclusively premieres on CCM Magazine.com on Wednesday, Nov. 15th at 10 AM CST.
The video was directed and produced by Tyler Adams/Sora Entertainment. It was filmed at Club Knockout in LaVergne, Tennessee.
“On the surface, this song is about overcoming obstacles, but it’s so much more than that,” reflects Domenica. “It is actually about the spiritual battle we are faced with every day. We have an enemy and John 10:10 says he comes to kill, steal, and destroy.
Oftentimes it feels like we are on the losing end of that battle, I know recently I have, but God has used this song and video to remind me that with Christ I can keep fighting and ultimately win the battle.
Tyler and I were very deliberate in our treatment for this video and how to go about bringing these lyrics to life. We wanted to personify some of the most common tactics (fear, sorrow, unworthiness) the enemy uses against us, because the truth is every day we are in the fight of our lives on a spiritual level.
The shoot itself was very difficult, but so fun! I got to experiment with doing my own special effects makeup and work with my friend Sam for this video. Plus, it’s always a joy working with Tyler and his lovely wife Anna.
It was the most physically challenging video I’ve ever done and doing ALL my own stunts was definitely harder than I thought it would be. My hope is that everyone who sees this video and hears this song can be encouraged to stand firm in Him and keep fighting the good fight.”

Tyler Adam adds, “I absolutely love working with Briana Domenica. She is such an inspiring artist. Not only is her music driven by her heart for those who are hurting, but she has such a wonderful drive to creatively express her lyrics, which excites those helping with her projects, myself included.
When Briana pitched the music video for ‘Here I Stand’ to me, I immediately felt enthusiastic to start working on it. We both went back and forth for a good while, brainstorming ideas on how to go about conveying her song’s message in visually creative ways.
On set, I saw her work incredibly hard to make the music video as best as it could be, and her passion was contagious. Our team worked long hours, but it was an awesome experience because we all believed that Briana’s work could ultimately change someone’s life forever.
It’s so much fun to work with a client like Briana, who helps bring out the best in me. I’m inspired by Briana, and I’m sure those who listen to her music will be too. God has given her an incredible talent as a singer and a visionary, and I am so thankful to be a part of her journey in uplifting souls and giving people newfound hope.”.
Co-written with Glenn Green, “Here I Stand” was produced by Cedric Isreal and was released on September 1st where it was featured on Radio SoBro’s NuMu Friday. It is now available on all digital and streaming platforms.
Briana Domenica has a positive and encouraging message to share with all ages and wants to utilize the power of her music and story to make a difference in the lives of others.
