This heartfelt, melodic release — reflecting back and showcasing a beautiful story of love and commitment – drops directly after the powerful new Christmas anthem, “Manger Throne,” written with Jonathan Smith and Tony Wood.
“More than a Christmas song, this is a worship song,” Wickham shares. “Every Christmas season, when I take the time to think on it, I am amazed in a greater way of the moment when Creator stepped into creation. God in human flesh. Heaven walking on earth. Everything about how Jesus came was different than what we would have expected, and also far better.
He met us right in our humanity. Our dirt. Our mess. That’s what my new song, ‘Manger Throne,’ is all about. He could have marched right into the heart of Rome and showed them splendor like they’d never seen before. But He had a better story, and it started in Bethlehem and ended with a Risen King. Praise the Lord the story still continues with us today.”
Additionally, Wickham has announced dates for his annual “BEHOLD Christmas Nights” outing. Coming to three states and five cities in 2023, with special guest Tasha Layton, the tour has become a yearly tradition for the chart-topping singer.
The “BEHOLD Christmas Nights” run will cap a phenomenal year for the prolific songwriter, respected worship leader and award-winning artist, who released his critically acclaimed studio project, I Believe, in August. The album’s title-cut currently sits in the Top 15 on the Billboard Audience chart, Mediabase AC Monitored chart and the Mediabase Audience chart. Moreover, Wickham recently received two Billboard Music Award nods: one in the category of Top Christian Artist and a second nomination for Top Christian Song for his No. 1 hit, “This Is Our God.” Winners for the 2023 Billboard Music Awards will be announced live Sunday, Nov. 19, 2023.

‘Drop in the Ocean’ is the first single release from Ian Yates forthcoming 4 track EP ‘Battlelands Vol. 2’. Taking a departure from the more chilled vibe of his previous 2 albums, ‘Drop In the Ocean’ see’s Ian return to a more indie rock sound as found on his earlier work. In fact the EP is really a follow up to his 2019 ‘Deconstruction Vol. 1’ release.
‘Drop in the Ocean’, is a song of hope and being content not knowing everything. It’s about realising that as you get older you actually know less than you thought you did. It’s about coming to the realisation of those who you thought had the answers maybe didn’t.
Yates is a Christian worship leader and songwriter from Liverpool, UK. He leads musical worship at his home church Bootle Elim and is part of Elim Sound, the national worship department for the Elim movement. Yates is married to Kate, they have 3 young children, Jackson, Elijah and Abiah.
Globally renowned artist TAYA, the voice of the RIAA Certified Multi-Platinum global worship anthem “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail),” releases her brand-new holiday single “O HOLY NIGHT.”
Available today with an accompanying music video, the song was birthed during TAYA’s own special time of expectancy, recording the track while she was eight months pregnant and filming the video while nine months pregnant. Listen to “O HOLY NIGHT”.
“While recording and filming this song, my husband and I were currently in a season of waiting, with much anticipation and rejoicing for the arrival of our first baby,” says TAYA. “It’s not lost on me that I got to hop into the studio to record, while pregnant, my own version singing of this divine night, full of my own expectation and longing – both in the booth and in my heart of hearts.”
Adds TAYA, “‘O Holy Night’ has always felt holy — a song full of such reverence, that it never fails to not dampen my eyes or bring me to knees, both literally and figuratively, in awe of the mercy and sovereignty of God. He sent His very best, Jesus, to take on our human condition and be who He says He is – God with us.
‘A thrill of hope/The weary world rejoices/For yonder breaks/A new and glorious morn.’ These words have never felt more poignant or broken my heart wide open than in this season of waiting and anticipating, with expectant joy, the arrival of our first child. The Lord’s timing is certainly beautiful, redemptive, and perfect.”
“O HOLY NIGHT” drops on the heels of TAYA’S debut self-titled solo album which has garnered over 85 million global streams to date.
The world first heard TAYA on UNITED’s #1 worship anthem “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)” which spent a record-setting 61 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Top Christian Songs Chart. Since then, her voice has become an unmistakable clarion call to worship across the world. During her tenure with UNITED, as well as Hillsong Worship, TAYA has helped steward over one billion global career streams as well as performed live for over 10M people in 12 different countries across six continents.
Today (Nov 3), TAYA releases her version of the Christmas classic “O Holy Night.”
