Katie Arrington, a rising star in the world of Christian music, has released her EP on all major streaming outlets. The EP, which includes six songs, showcases Arrington’s talent as a singer and songwriter and her deep faith in God.

Arrington’s journey in music started in her youth group and church choir, where she began singing and playing guitar. She started writing her own worship songs at 14 and played them for her local church. After taking a break to pursue her education and start a family, Arrington started leading worship again regularly in 2018.

As she gained confidence as a solo performer, more worship songs flowed out this season as a worship leader.

Despite having no formal music training, Arrington’s experiences leading worship have taught her everything she needs to know about music. Her lyrics are deeply grounded in Scripture, and her style ranges from folk to hymn-like songs.

Matt Redman inspires Arrington as a songwriter, and Audrey Assad’s beautiful, contemplative style of worship songs has also shaped her development as a musician.

Arrington’s first single, “Blessed Is the One,” debuted at No. 2 on CRC Weekly, and “My God, My God” debuted at #1 on CRC Weekly. Three of the songs on her EP received honorable mentions in the 2022 SongDoor competition.

Arrington’s willingness to delve into difficult topics in her music sets her apart from other Christian music artists. Her songs reflect the wide range of emotions captured in the Psalms, and almost all of her songs are directly linked to a passage from the Bible.

Arrington’s music is a source of comfort and hope for listeners.

“I strive to be faithful to share the songs God has entrusted me with,” said Arrington. “My hope is that my music will be a source of comfort and hope for anyone who listens to it.”

Julie Elias, a talented artist and songwriter, has just premiered her latest music video for “The Dreamer”. Filmed at the Fisher Center at Belmont University in Nashville, TN, the video is a captivating and moving visual representation of the song’s powerful message.

Directed by Carl Diebold, the video’s concept centers around an inner monologue that aims to express complex emotions in a simple yet profound way. With the use of captivating visuals and heartfelt lyrics, the video delivers a message of hope, urging listeners to find joy and serve God while living their best life and loving others.

Based on Jeremiah 29:11, “The Dreamer” has already gained significant attention in the music industry, debuting at #1 at CRC’s weekly chart.

The Dreamer – Julie Elias

“The Dreamer” is an emotional journey that touches on the struggles and doubts that often accompany the pursuit of one’s dreams. Elias’s powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics remind us that even in our darkest moments, God is with us, and He has a plan for our lives.

“I want you to know, if you’re reading this, God is not done with the dreamer you’ve become,” Elias shares. “Don’t be ashamed to wander; wish upon a star; cling to hope… and let’s dream together.”

“The Dreamer” is a powerful reminder to keep chasing our dreams and to trust in God’s plan for our lives. Elias’s music video perfectly captures the essence of the song and is sure to leave a lasting impression on all those who watch it.
