Singer/Songwriter Rachael Lampa was awarded her first K-LOVE Fan Award for her song “Perfectly Loved” ft. TobyMac for the “Breakout Single” category. The fan-voted awards were taped at the iconic OPRY house on May 28th and aired on TBN on June 2nd.
Lampa also performed her award-winning song at the awards and was nominated for three total categories. “Perfectly Loved” was co-written with Andrew Ripp and Ethan Hulse and released on Holly Street Records. It was promoted by Boxer Poet / Chris Hauser.
“This has been such a sweet and healing season in so many ways,” shares Rachael Lampa after winning. “Being able to share who God is to me and for it to resonate with others is so redeeming of the past 10+ years of not doing music. And being able to do this all while spending sweet time with my babies and family and community, what a gift.”
“Perfectly Loved” was Lampa’s comeback song after a long break from doing her own music. The No. 1 song was inspired by both her inner-healing journey and her work in prison ministry with a non-profit that is founded and run by her family, called People Loving Nashville. This has become a theme for many of her new songs including “Wild Ones” and her newest release “Somebody To You.”
She continues, “My song, ‘Perfectly Loved’, actually came about at a time when I was not thinking about doing music again, it was not on my radar. I was spending a lot of time with my family’s non-profit. Serving people experiencing homelessness, incarceration, and other struggles.
I was telling them about some of the women in the prison I was working with and how their love for God was brought to life again- it made me think about 14-year-old me. About the little girl who started to believe over time that the more I accomplished, the more I performed, the more success I had, and the more worthy of the love that I was – if I ever messed up, I would ruin it all.
This song is sort of a letter to those girls in prison, but also a letter back to young Rachael. About how God’s love is so perfect that we don’t have to fight for it, we don’t have to earn it. It is so cool to look in hindsight and see how God’s love followed me all the way through and finds me now. His love is perfect! We are made from it, we are made for it, and there is nothing we can do to lose it. “
Universal Music Group Nashville and Capitol Christian Music Group are teaming up for the release of new music from award-winning artist Anne Wilson. Tallying more than 600 million global streams, Wilson has won two GMA Dove Awards and earned a GRAMMY nomination for her 2022 debut album, My Jesus.
The Kentucky native is one of Nashville’s most inspiring young trailblazers, mixing the heart of Contemporary Christianity with the sound of Country music.
“From the moment we first met Anne, it was clear she had a special talent and an incredible story and message,” adds Capitol CMG’s Brad O’Donnell and Hudson Plachy. “It’s been so rewarding to be a part of the success she’s had with her debut project and we are thrilled to have UMG Nashville and Cindy Mabe as partners for this next chapter. We believe there’s no ceiling for what Anne can achieve.”
“Anne Wilson is a boundary-pushing artist who belongs in both Christian and Country music formats and cultures,” shares UMG Nashville Chair & CEO, Cindy Mabe. “She’s here to take her story and the power of her music to new audiences while continuing to be an ambassador of faith in youth culture and beyond within the Christian music audience.
She’s unique and dynamic in sound, purpose, and spirit, and getting to partner with her, her team at Story House Collective, and Hudson Plachy and Brad O’Donnell and their team at Capitol Christian Music Group is a great privilege.”
Adding to her powerhouse Nashville team, Wilson has also signed on with boutique talent agency The Neal Agency.
“I am so excited to partner with UMG Nashville, and with The Neal Agency,” says Wilson. “Over the last two years, I have watched God open doors for my music that I could never open for myself. I see these new partnerships as another open door to share the message of hope, faith, and the love of my Jesus to an even broader audience. I can’t wait to see what happens next!”
Next up, Wilson will take the stage at RiseFest in Iowa on June 9, CMA Fest in Nashville on June 10-11, and will perform at the Grand Ole Opry on June 16. She is set to release her personal track “Seventh Of June” on Wednesday (6/7).
