Today, multi-award-winning Canadian artist and songwriter Jordan St. Cyr made the exciting announcement that his Grand Ole Opry debut is scheduled for June 14th.
Earlier this year, St. Cyr released “Rescue” (BEC Recordings). St. Cyr, who penned the song with Jonathan Gamble and Justin Amundrud, shares, “‘Rescue’ was inspired by a two-week season where it felt like my family and I were being attacked on all sides. It started with the news of our youngest daughter potentially having eye surgery, our oldest daughter breaking her leg, myself losing a record deal, our youngest daughter battling seizures, our car breaking down twice, and all six of us getting food poisoning. Life felt impossible but the promise of Jesus held true. When things got chaotic our rescue was His peace. He is the calm in the storm and his faithfulness never left us. Not even once.”
Today, a multi-talented artist and one of People Magazine’s Emerging Artists Riley Clemmons returns with her first new music since her 2021 smash “For the Good.” The single, “Loved By You” marks a new season for the 23-year-old Nashville native, having taken the last year to focus on honing her skills as a songwriter and performer.
The resulting song, co-written with Paul Duncan (Lauren Daigle, Leslie Odom, JR) and Jeff Pardo (Lady A, Ben Rector), demonstrates new confidence within Riley and the next level of music she seeks to create with a larger sound and higher production. “Loved By You” is the first single from Riley’s much anticipated third studio album, coming later this year.

“I am truly and deeply thrilled to be back and releasing music again,” shares Riley. “This season of creating and writing has been life-changing and healing for me in more ways than I can explain. I started releasing music very young and, to say the least, I’ve done a lot of growing up between 18 and 23.
I believe “Loved By You,” along with the new album as a whole reflect that growth and maturing. I’m ready and excited for listeners to hear this new side of my heart, artistry, and music. This chapter is going to be a special one.”

Kicking off a much-anticipated new chapter in his rapidly growing career, singer/songwriter and Amplo recording artist Nathan Sheridan returns with “Do You Know.” Releasing to Christian radio and streaming platforms today, the single put Sheridan’s emotive vocal front and center as the opening verse swells into a soaring, celebratory chorus backed by a Gospel choir.
Penned by Luke Nielsen, Jay Speight, and Phoebe Scott, the Speight-produced track welcomes the prodigal home, offering a timely reminder of God’s deep love for His children: “Do you know He dances at the sound of your name?/Do you know He longs to bless you over and over again?/He is for you beginning to end/If you’ve ever wondered if it’s really true/He loves you.”
“In my own life, I’ve had times of feeling distant from God, so I hope listeners can draw parallels from this song to their own stories,” Sheridan says. “God knows you; He is there in the midst of any circumstance; and He smiles at the sound of your name simply because you are His.”
“I truly believe God is going to move through this song,” Sheridan adds. “It’s different from anything I’ve recorded before. When I heard it for the first time in the studio, I felt the anointing of its message and I hope others will too.”

“Those Who Have Not Seen” is Anchor Hymns’s latest single featuring Paul Baloche, Taylor Leonhardt, and Matt Maher. This song centers on the reality of doubt, welcoming those in a season of hardship and questions with a raw and hopeful exhortation.
Blending lyrics from the 18th-century classic “When I Survey The Wondrous Cross,” this song points us to Jesus’ empathy toward the difficulties of the human experience. Anchor Hymns encourages their listeners to wrest with the “why” and yet still chose to put their faith in the Lord. “Those Who Have Not Seen” resounds with the message that there is beauty in integrating doubt and still allowing faith to grow.

In January of this year, 10 of the 13 artists on YPR 2 were able to meet up together in Nashville for a few days of writing songs for this year’s album, and it was an incredible time of hanging out, writing together in person, and getting to know each other face to face for those of us who weren’t already friends. It was also a great opportunity to boost that sense of community and collaboration that Young Pop Renegades is all about. We came up with some great songs and I think you’ll agree!
Pop/EDM artist Sam Bowman says, “It was such a blast to work with these twelve guys on the newest Young Pop Renegades record. This album isn’t just a sonically unique project that pushes the creative envelope even more than our first album did, but it was another chance for me to write and create with some good friends. We’re beyond proud of what we’ve made, and we can’t wait to share it.”
