5X GRAMMY Award-winner Brandon Lake has released new track “TEAR OFF THE ROOF” from his upcoming album COAT OF MANY COLORS – out 10/20. Penned by Brandon Lake, Chris Davenport, Jacob Sooter, Hank Bentley, and Jordan Colle, the moving new song, set to a drum-driven, explosive melody, reminds us of the limitless power that comes from the name of Jesus. The accompanying music video, set to be released on YouTube today at 9am PT/12pm ET, depicts scenes from the hit tv show The Chosen showcasing Jesus’ miracles at work.

“‘TEAR OFF THE ROOF’ speaks to multiple stories in the Bible of healing,” shares Lake. “I can’t think of a better storyteller of Jesus than The Chosen TV series, so it made so much sense to team up and have their help in sharing the story of this song, which is based off of Mark Chapter 2 and Luke Chapter 8. Thank you to The Chosen for changing my life among millions of others. We pray this song reminds you of the healing power of Jesus!”

Says Grant, “When I first heard the recordings from 1989 from the Lead Me OnTour, the thing that bowled me over was just what a talented band I had on the road. I have loved every band configuration I’ve ever had on the road and all are so special to me, but there was something unique about that group of players and singers during the Lead Me On Tour.  First of all, there were so many of us on the stage and so many types of instrumentation like harmonica solos, flute solos, saxophone, mandolins, lots of keyboards and stacks of vocals, it just felt like one big family reunion every night. 

The size and scope of the production and the big experience we were trying to create also made this tour very special. The energy of the crowd felt like an infinite number 8 with energy coming from us on stage, it circling through the audience and then coming back to us and it brought back so many amazing memories.  I’m so grateful we captured that moment in time.”

Grant hit the road on September 20th performing her iconic hits along with selections from the Lead Me On Live 1989 project.  On November 26th, Grant and her long-time friend and collaborator Michael W. Smith will begin their 2023 Christmas Tour. 

Joined by special guest Michael Tait of the Newsboys, Grant and Smith will co-headline nine holiday shows, including their first appearance together on New York City’s iconic Carnegie Hall stage (Dec. 5).  Following this, will be one of Music City’s most treasured traditions with Grant and husband Vince Gill, their beloved “Christmas at the Ryman” residency. The 12-concert run is scheduled for December 13-14, 16-17, 19-20 and 22-23 and will once again feature matinee performances of the beloved show.

Today (Oct 6), multi-award-winning and platinum-selling artist Hillsong UNITED releases Zion (x), a special 10th anniversary album. Zion (x) pulls together some unseen moments from the ‘Zion’ archives paired with a few new versions. UNITED shares, “This album was created to celebrate what the songs have meant to us, and all that God has done and is continuing to do in and through them.”

“For us as a group, whether it be from recording or writing these songs to playing them in front of people and all the production that goes with it, it’s  all an expression of an extraordinary God doing what only He can do through  ordinary people who love Him and want to serve Him. That’s our desire, and it’s been the one constant that hasn’t changed. We hope these songs, now in their various forms are an encouragement for people everywhere,” UNITED adds.

Today, nine-time GRAMMY Award nominee and Curb | Word Entertainment artist Natalie Grant has released her highly anticipated new album, Seasons. The 10-track album features Grant’s own twist on songs that have made a lasting impression on her life as well as her illustrious career. 

To create Seasons, Grant invited some of the top artists in their genres to join her including Mary Mary with their first re-recorded version of their smash hit “Shackles (Praise You),” Tasha Cobbs Leonard on Paul Simon’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” and her mother and daughters on Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love.” Seasons debuted at No. 1 on iTunes and the lead single, “You Will Be Found,” is currently in the Top 15 at mainstream A/C Radio and holds the top two positions on iTunes.

“Faith-filled music has carried me, and continues to carry me, through every stage of my life” shares Grant. “There have been many seasons – seasons full of beauty and blooming, seasons that have seemed cold and barren. This album is a collection of songs that have carried me through college, heartbreak, infertility, cancer, anxiety… the list goes on. But my Jesus, and the music that carries His message, have been my constant companions.”

Earlier this week, Grant was joined by husband and collaborator, Bernie Herms, in a livestream event celebrating the release of Seasons.

Later this month, Grant and her husband, GRAMMY Award-winning songwriter/producer Bernie Herms, will extend their wildly popular “An Evening with Natalie Grant featuring Bernie Herms” tour. Following those dates, Grant will embark on K-LOVE’s Celebrate Christmas Tour with Danny Gokey from November 30^th – December 16^th.

Chart-topping singer/songwriter and BEC recording artist Tasha Layton released an extended single release of “Never.” Layton first dropped this powerful pop track in June. Songwriting credits for this track include Matthew West, Keith Everette Smith and AJ Pruis.

Produced by Layton’s husband, GRAMMY and Dove Award-winner Keith Everette Smith, “Never” spotlights the hope and healing found only in Christ. Echoing a theme which hallmarks Layton’s life and music, “Never” unequivocally declares His promises: “There’s not a broken too broken for You/Will there ever come a day when You’re not holding me together?/You say, ‘Never.’”

Layton is set to share “Never” with audiences around the country as she steps into the spotlight for her debut headlining tour this fall. With special guest Jeremy Rosado, Layton’s “Look What You’ve Done Tour” kicks off October 26 in Indianapolis and will hit eight cities before concluding November 12 in Columbus, Ohio.

Today, “Fight Like Heaven” by Open Heaven is now available on all digital retail and streaming service providers via DREAM Worship worldwide.  The Columbus, Ohio team that leads worship for Faith Life Church recorded their new song live.  It was produced by Scotty Mearig and co-written by Alexis Keesee, Amy Freudiger and Tom Keesee.

“Fight Like Heaven was written as a response to a challenge from our Pastor’s wife, Drenda Keesee, who wrote a book by the same name. It’s a challenge to the church to wake up, stand up, and be counted when no one else will. We see the enemy’s plans to destroy people’s faith, future, and purpose, so we must get in the fight.

That’s why this song says, ‘Warriors arise! Now is the time!’ We choose to engage in spiritual warfare when we stand up for righteousness, to be the light, and not hide our love for Jesus. That’s what this song is all about, and we hope it challenges others to join us in praying, speaking up, and wielding influence for the Kingdom of God.” – Amy Freudiger

Scotty Inman and Daywind Music Publishing are pleased to announce the signing of an exclusive songwriting agreement.  This announcement comes on the heels of Scotty’s recent signing to Daywind Records as a recording artist.

The esteemed songwriter is honored to join the ranks of the respected songwriters who call Daywind home.  Inman has been awarded by BMI four times for songs recorded by Triumphant Quartet, as well as LeFevre Quartet, and has enjoyed cuts from numerous other artists such as Legacy Five, Joseph Habedank, The Kingsmen, The Taylors,  The Erwins, and many others. 

Songs from his pen, such as “Going There” and “Sun’s Gonna Come Up” have topped the Singing News radio charts eight times, and Scotty’s current single “Anywhere Jesus Is” was just announced as the #1 song on the first Singing News Faith Country Top 40 chart.  Most recently, Scotty Inman’s focus has been writing new material for his upcoming release on Daywind Records.

Rick Shelton shares, “Scotty Inman expresses his ideas in lyrics that are truly original and in music that is identifiable and fresh. As impressed as I am with his songwriting, singing and public presentation, I am inspired by his character. Daywind was Scotty’s first publisher for nearly a decade, and this feels like a homecoming! I can’t wait to start promoting the hits that he will create.”

“I’m thrilled to be back where my writing journey began!” continues Scotty Inman.  “Almost two decades ago, Rick Shelton and Daywind Publishing took a chance on a young aspiring songwriter, and I’ll never forget that. About ten years ago, I decided to take a step away, and at that time Rick said that I always had a home at Daywind when I was ready to come back. 

That time has come, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. So, for all the artists who are looking to cut a project soon, please remember to reach out to Rick and ask for my entire catalog!”

Daywind Music Publishing is home to an award-winning roster of songwriters including Lee Black, Jody Braselton, Jim Brady, Melissa Brady, Clint Brown, Riley Harrison Clark, Jason Cox, Natalie Cromwell, Janice Crow, Seth Elbe, Marty Funderburk, Joseph Habedank, Mike Harland, Wayne Haun, Matthew Lawson, Tim Lovelace, Devin McGlamery, Rob Mills, Levi Mills, Jacob Mills, Karen Peck Gooch, John Darin Rowsey, Belinda Smith, Jonathan C. Smith, Sue C. Smith, Barry Weeks, and Nathan Woodard.

Ebi Oginni Releases the second single “When Desperation Meets Faith” of her newest 3 part project. The song talks about the woman who had a bleeding condition for 12 years and had spent all her money on physicians. Then in desperation, she threw caution aside, broke all the rules, pushed through the crowd and got her healing.

“My prayer is that this song reminds you that the Master should be our first port of call and not the last. It’s my hope that it ignites a fire of faith within you, rekindling your belief in the supernatural, in a God who is not only able, but willing to meet us precisely where our needs lie” – Ebi Oginni
