Upon its launch in 2014, Housefires became known as the music group that changed the landscape of the worship genre forever. With immersive live recordings, intimate “house church” sessions, and more, the group re-invented the genre to be a more inclusive and vulnerable space.

On Housefires’ new record ‘How To Start A Housefire Part II’ (out today via Capitol CMG / TRIBL Records), the music collective invites listeners to join in and transports them “into a visceral and celestial experience” (Forbes).

In ‘How To Start A Housefire Part II,’ the collection brings together a community of people from all different backgrounds for one purpose: providing a safe space for those who need an outlet to be vulnerable.

Listeners will hear a mix of R&B, soul, pop, gospel, and contemporary worship music across the 14 captivating tracks that create a lively atmosphere filled with celebratory anthems, lush instrumentation, and earth-shattering choruses. The new record follows Housefires’ ‘How To Start A Housefire,’ which was released on January 20th.

“We’ve all been through our own hells and journeys over the last several years,” says Housefires’ Blake Wiggins. “Now we are able to sing songs that look back and remind ourselves of what He’s done, how He’s gotten us through, and the ways He’s always been.

I’m excited that our testimonies and stories can meet up with the stories of everyone listening to this album, and together we can grow more in love with Jesus and the person He truly is.”

‘How To Start A Housefire Part II’ opens with the ‘90s R&B-infused “Can’t Nobody,” which is reminiscent of the Bee Gees’ “How Deep Is Your Love” and sets the tone for an album that uplifts, inspires, and offers comfort for those in dark places.

The artist has lived in Nashville, Tennessee, performing numerous times at Bluebird Café and at BMI industry showcase events. “Falling Off the Merry Go Round” calls attention to school gun violence, most notably the recent event in Nashville.

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Pam Ross was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, spent most of her life in Houston, and currently resides in North Carolina.  But, along the way, the award-winning artist made Nashville her home. 

Performing for BMI industry showcases, as well as multiple stints at the renowned Bluebird Café and other local haunts, Ross became well-known as one of the up-and-coming Songwriters to Watch on the Nashville circuit.  It’s her ties to Music City that inspired Pam to write her latest single, “Falling Off the Merry Go Round.”

 It’s easy to understand why I was inspired to write this song. The plague of school shootings is an evil that we can’t seem to stop let alone curtail. Everyone is busy politicizing the issue & pointing fingers instead of reaching across the aisle to develop solutions.

I believe we play a part in making our own Frankensteins through the world we’ve created. Over 175 have died in school shootings since Columbine. As a society, we are failing our children and each other…we are all falling off the merry-go-round.

“Falling Off the Merry Go Round” is available on April 21, 2023. A music video is currently in production.

It’s time for battle! It’s a season of war! Our weapon of choice is praise! We come in the name of the Lord with dance in our feet and praise on our lips unto our God!

Months after the dynamic worship song “Here With You”, Benestelle returns roaring these audacious words with the release of her new high praise piece: “Clap Your Hands”. Inspired in a place of spiritual battle, this song is a direct response to Psalm 47:1 which admonishes all peoples to clap their hands with loud songs of joy. Scriptures tell us: The Lord inhabits the praises of His people and the clapping of hands is a demonstration of such faith.

Unapologetic on the topic, she delivers a colorful and flawless, yet high-energy music video to grace the sound. She reminds us that from generation to generation Jesus Christ never changes which is why we praise Him. King Jehoshaphat demonstrated this mystery in 2 Chronicles 20:1-29 in the time of war when he set the singers ahead of the army. The Lord’s response to him was that the battle is not theirs; it is the Lord’s. This led them to defeat Ammon & Moab in the valley of Berakah.

In 2023, Benestelle highlights this spiritual strategy for inevitable victory and activates it with this song.

Be blessed and provoked to join the praise as you listen, stream, and “Clap Your Hands” for the King of kings, into your testimony! Your season of victory has come!

Today, pop artists Matthew Parker and Xander Sallows release their new song “Ebb & Flow.”  The song is available on all digital service providers via DREAM Records.  Produced by Parker and co-written by both artists, the fresh pop sound is interwoven with lyrics that speak on not stressing about having it all together.

“When I got together with Xander to write this song, he said something like ‘I want to write a song called Ebb & Flow that’s about our relationship with God not always being at 100%.’ We’re not always perfect, and sometimes we feel closer to God and sometimes not as close, like the ebbing and flowing of the tide.

This song is saying that it’s okay to not be perfect–it’s okay that we’re living and learning and failing and growing. God has grace and he loves us. Everything is going to be okay even when we fall short, which is often. Don’t worry, we’ll get there! Just never give up hope and go with the ebb and the flow.“ – Matthew Parker
