This week, GRAMMY Award-winner Brandon Lake shared the exciting news that he broke the global first day stream record on Amazon Music for a Christian artist single with “Praise You Anywhere.” The track dropped last week (June 10).

Dubbed “one of the most sought-after artists in the Christian genre” by MusicRow Magazine, Lake has been teasing the new tune to fans on social media resulting in over 2 million views and prompting him to release the track.

Serving as a prompt to turn to God no matter the situation and give him the praise he is worthy of, the new release features Lake’s bold vocals set to an addictive groove and drum-driven beat. Earlier this month, Lake took home 3 K-LOVE Fan Awards for Male Artist Of The Year, as well as Song Of The Year and Worship Song Of The Year for “Gratitude.”

He has also partnered with K-LOVE for their K-LOVE First promotion where they play the song on-the-hour for 8 hours straight.

“This song is about turning to PRAISE in and out of every season,” shares Lake. “There are times when we’re surrounded by storms, and times when we’re living in immense blessing…. We light God’s heart up when we simply PRAISE no matter what we’re facing.

Your situation might not change, but choosing to praise, will change your perspective! This will get your eyes off a storm, and onto God. I hope as you listen to this song and choose to praise, you’re encouraged, and your faith is lifted!”

Fresh from 52 Records, legendary rapper KJ-52’s latest single, “Babylon Boom” (feat. Wingy Danejah & Alcott), is releasing to the Christian CHR and Christian Rhythmic radio outlets today. Written by Jonah Sorrentino, Samuel Alcott, and Derek Johnson, and produced by Derek Minor, the single showcases KJ-52’s deep lyrical prowess and rhythmic savvy.

“Babylon Boom” continues the narrative established in the “Still Standing” album, a collection of songs inspired by the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, the largest hurricane to ever hit the state of Florida. The single echoes the themes of resilience, faith, and resistance against destructive forces, both earthly and spiritual. The song paints an intense image of a battle against “Babylon,” metaphorically representing elements of chaos and conflict.

KJ-52, the Guinness world record holder in freestyling and a six-time Dove Award winner, based in Cape Coral, Florida, has been instrumental in his community’s recovery from the devastation caused by the hurricane. His music serves as an anthem for a community ‘still standing’ and for all those enduring and overcoming challenges in their lives.

“Babylon Boom” is more than a song; it’s a clarion call for resilience and faith in the face of adversity, seamlessly combining rap and Christian faith in a unique and empowering manner. Its raw energy and profound message are bound to resonate with listeners, encouraging them to stand strong in their faith, even when facing their own ‘Babylon.’

Fortune Ebel a well-known Nigerian gospel singer, lyrist, and composer just dished out a brand new single titled ‘Testimonies’.

Testimonies are evidence that God is at work in your life, this Melody was composed through the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Commenting on this song, he says, I am a living testimony, this should be our self-declaration. Testimonies give something to be interpreted, if u don’t have a test you can not have a testimony.

Humans should always see reasons in life to testify about. God has been so good, doing mighty and great things that we may not have seen the process but we have gotten the results but don’t want to acknowledge that it is a testimony.

Blessed are they that keeps his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. Psalm 119vs2

That ugly part of your story is going to be the most powerful part of your testimony

Seven-time GRAMMY-winner TobyMac’s latest radio single, “Cornerstone (feat. Zach Williams)”  has hit No.1 on both Billboard AC Monitored and Mediabase AC Published charts this week. The track also grabbed the top spot on the Mediabase Activator Chart last week and continues to hold on to No. 1 now for two weeks. PEOPLE.com premiered the music video for the track, which upon release, received 56 adds, making it Capitol CMG’s most added song of 2023.

“This song was birthed at my firstborn’s funeral service. A broken man, I looked my family in the eyes and said, ‘We have to rebuild. Our hearts have been shattered into a thousand pieces,’” he told PEOPLE. “We cannot build on the promises of this world. They will let us down every time. We have to build on the promises of God. We have to build our lives on the solid rock, the cornerstone.”

LIFE AFTER DEATH, which garnered TobyMac his 17th GRAMMY nomination,  debuted as Billboard’s No. 1 Christian record and features 15 tracks, in addition to “Cornerstone (feat. Zach Williams).”  

Other tracks include “21 Years,” “Help Is On the Way (Maybe Midnight),” which went #1 on five charts, “Promised Land,” the 3rd most added song at Christian radio in 2021, and “The Goodness,” which hit #1 last September.

New music from chart-topping artist and songwriter Micah Tyler impacts radio today. “Praise The Lord,” the second song from his latest project, People Like Us (Fair Trade Services), is also accompanied by a not-to-be-missed music video that takes the viewer on a hilarious adventure of mishaps. Debuting with KSBJ and WayFM today, the video will be available everywhere tomorrow.

“My new song ‘Praise the Lord’ may seem a little bit simple, but at the end of the day, it’s got depth to it,” Micah Tyler shares. “If you look back at the text in Judges chapter 20, whenever Israel would go into battle, the tribe of Judah would lead the way. 

Why? Because Judah means praise. Praise is how we begin our battles. We fight our battles by loving Jesus and knowing that we can trust Him no matter what. In this world, there will be trouble, but we take heart because He has overcome the world. For that, we can praise the Lord.”

Tyler’s People Like Us six-song EP, which dropped in March, debuted with “I See Grace” and held the No. 1 spot at on the Billboard National Christian Audience chart for five weeks. With songs such as “I See Grace” and “Praise The Lord,” it is Tyler’s hope that these news songs can bring people together more than ever before. 

“This project is super special to me and it is my hope that these songs can help us,” Micah Tyler explains about his new project. “It’s my opportunity, through song, for the people of God to put aside divisions that the world tries to place on us, as well as the separations we place on ourselves, and just say ‘God, I believe that if You can change the life of a sinner like myself, You can change the life of everybody!’ I invite everyone to celebrate in the relationship and nearness that God promises people like us.”

After selling out 22 shows during their first-ever headlining tour this Spring, award-winning sibling trio, CAIN, has added 33 new tour dates to their Fall 2023 calendar, extending the CAIN Live & In Color Tour presented by World Vision, promoted by Premier Productions. Joined by the incredible Katy Nichole and GRAMMY-nominated artist David Leonard, CAIN Live & In Color will kick off Wednesday, September 20, in Baton Rouge, LA.

“This fall, we are coming to 33 cities across the US on our LIVE AND IN COLOR Tour,” said Taylor Cain. “We were inspired to name the tour LIVE AND IN COLOR because wearing matching colors have become part of our tradition. We want the audience to join us in wearing the chosen color for each night and together we create a family experience for everyone.”

“We’re trying to do something new with our tour! We want people to get to know who we are and the other artists joining us,” added Logan Cain. “We promise you are going to experience something very unique which includes fun and entertainment as well as ministry, worship, and a chance to encounter the presence of God.”

“The spring leg of the tour was so much fun! We want everyone who comes to feel part of our family and to be reminded that we are all part of one body, no one greater and no one less,” said Madison Cain. “So come experience it yourself. We’re waiting for you!”

“We’ve had such great feedback from audiences who attended the spring tour. They have overwhelmingly described the tour as being very “authentic”. There is no divide between the stage and the audience; everyone at the show is on a journey with CAIN, Katy, and David,” said Josh “Mags” Magnin, Talent Buyer, Premier Productions. “Backstage they have created a culture that is reflected onto the stage.

The culture of the tour is truly all about family – from the crew, artists, band members, venue staff, and yes, the babies – where they have formed a bond that carries into the entire night. From start to finish, it’s an experience where you journey with all three artists with heartfelt passages, passionate worship moments, and top hits.

We have all worked together to craft an experience that will capture the essence of CAIN’s authenticity, passion, and fun-loving spirits from the stage. Premier is excited to launch the fall leg of this tour and continue to tell the story of their ‘Commission.’”
