In honor of Father’s Day, Matthew West released a duet version of the tender track “Before You Ask Her” with one of his two daughters, Lulu West. After performing the song last year at her dad’s headlining Ryman Auditorium show, Lulu had the idea to pull off the ultimate Father’s Day surprise by recording her vocals and reaching out to his team to release the reimagined version of the song.

The heartwarming ode, penned by West with chart-topping songwriter AJ Pruis, explores a father’s advice he gives to the boy who wants to take his daughter out and eventually ask for her hand in marriage. The pair performed the track on Father’s Day (6/19) on Fox & Friends Weekend. Listen to “Before You Ask Her” feat. Lulu West

GRAMMY® Award nominated singer-songwriter, Deitrick Haddon, and his group, The Voices of Unity, are back on the grind with a slick urban groove entitled, “Back to Life” (ManHaddon Ministries/Tyscot). It’s an affirmative, feel-good message of faith.  Where he shakes things up is on the music bed itself.

Deitrick Haddon has created a danceable, futuristic groove that is saturated with the percussive accouterments of `80s funk bands (think of The Gap Band, The Dazz Band, Zapp, and Prince & The Revolution) with the pulsating bass lines of a sweaty club DJ. The rhythm cascades between in-your-face Funk and lilting Trap music loops, before closing out with a pulsating  4-on-the-floor fade.

“The world is dying because we’ve left the one key that’s necessary to keep it alive,” Haddon says. “The key to life is love. Love is gonna bring us back to life!” This is Haddon’s first Voices of Unity production since 2012’s A Beautiful Soul film soundtrack, which included the Billboard Top 30 single, “No Betta” with Faith Evans.

Some of their other past collaborations include “Anybody Here,” “Watch Me Praise Him,” and their signature cut, “He’s Able.”

In other news, Haddon is launching his own Sunday morning radio show, The Worship Sunday Experience, this Sunday, June 18^th on HOT 103.9 FM, a Hot Adult Contemporary station, in California’s Inland Empire market of Ontario, Riverside, and San Bernardino.

Gospel Music minister, Winifred Afimoni has released a brand new single titled “Daddy”.

“DADDY” is a song to remind us that God’s Love is steadfast, unceasing, unchanging and unfailing. In a world where love always come with a price, God’s love does not bargain, His love is unconditional.

Romans 5:8; But God demonstrates his own love for us, While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Love is a commitment of heart, mind, soul and body.

“At a moment when I doubted God’s love in my life through challenges and difficulties, I woke up to a reassurance the Bible says in Prov 3:5-6 (Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths), this scripture gave me assurance when I felt like there was no hope.

I had the confidence that no matter the challenge, God’s hand will always carry me and make a way, trusting him that he will always come true. Even when I had doubts, his hand came through for me Habakkuk 3:4 (His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden)” – Winifred said.

Maudlyn Abajuo is a gifted songwriter, a gospel minister, and a lover of Jesus on a journey of spreading the gospel of Jesus and revealing God in his fullness through her songs which are inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Her latest single “Eyin Oluwa” is a song that was inspired by the Holy Spirit in her place of worship.

“It is a song of the clarion call to praise the Lord, just as the title states; Eyin Oluwa which means “ Praise The Lord”. I am not Yoruba, so when the song came, I didn’t understand what it meant but with the help of my featured artist, Mr. Sola Soetan who happened to co-produce the song, I got a clearer understanding of the song and with this, we both sat and did the finishing touches.

As weeks went by and as I meditated on the song, a message to us all was given which you will see at the end of the video”, Maudlyn said.

Atlanta, GA —  He calls himself a true ‘Choir Head.”  A ‘Choir Head” is a person who has been exposed to Gospel choir music for most of their life and who appreciates and continues to advocate and promote the genre to ensure that it remains a thriving element of music beyond its sacred foundations.  For B. Chase Williams, Choir music is the foundation of his faith that he unapologetically shares through his award-winning choir SHABACH.  

“I had to accept that THIS is what God created me to do,” B. Chase Williams shares.  “THIS is who we (Shabach) are, and we must remain TRUE to who we are!  If we tried to do anything else, we would be hypocrites.”

He continues, “We’ve made major sacrifices to stay out there in a time where the music industry has tried to push the choir out! But we are still being booked consistently, which means there is still great purpose in our ministry.  It proves that we and choir music is NECESSARY!” 

B. Chase Williams and Shabach now have a new single, “POWER OF GOD,” available on all digital music outlets.
