Jeremy Parsons Reflects upon Society and Success on New Single “Humanity”

The chart-topping singer-songwriter released the single today.  It’s the 2nd single from a forthcoming album.

Jeremy Parsons, texas singer-songwriter releases his new single “Humanity” today. The song is a heartfelt plea for unity and understanding in a time of division and strife. It’s the 2nd single from his forthcoming album and the follow-up to his #11 UK iTunes chart single, “Tickin’.”

Parsons says, “The lyrics emerged from looking at the world, choosing to slip into madness because of uncertainty and lack of patience…it was all the racism and brutality in general that occurred, which was and still is mind-boggling to me. It should’ve been an awakening to show us how little progress we’ve made in 60 years and how much further we still have to go.”

He continues, “I had a lot of time to think about my life and career around the time I was writing all these songs. For instance, the earliest part of my career was my most successful by industry standards and opinions.

Although it was a great start, I did not like the energy and people I was surrounded by. It always felt gross and like the focus wasn’t on making art. It was about this constant need to be relevant but unwilling to adapt. It was excruciating to watch. I decided then and there that I would always follow the creative current.”

“Humanity” continues Parsons’ creative journey, and it is available now on all digital platforms.

Christian Country Artist Lady Redneck Overcomes Major Health Setback to Release New Single

The chart-topping singer, songwriter, musician, and influencer recently experienced severe hearing loss and insomnia.  She releases her new single “All Things” on Easter Sunday.

After gaining more than 1 million social media followers, numerous Top 10 iTunes chart hits, and over 200K Spotify streams of her music, Stephanie Lee aka Lady Redneck had to put her skyrocketing career on hold.

Lady Redneck, the gifted singer, songwriter, musician, and social media influencer suffered a severe loss of hearing, which led to insomnia, depression, and a question about whether she would be able to continue her life’s passion without her ability to hear.

On her April 9th single release, “All Things,” Stephanie returns full-force, proving that, with God, she can INDEED do ALL THINGS.  The Easter Sunday release date could not be more appropriate, as Stephanie is paying tribute to Christ’s resurrection with her very own “rebirth” of sorts.

Stephanie explains, “Last year, I lost a huge part of my hearing while shooting guns at a range and not having protection over my ears when someone fired.  I started going to a homeopathic doctor for acupuncture, chiropractics, and herbs. It ended up messing me up.

I stopped sleeping and didn’t sleep for like 8 days straight! I ended up getting super sick! I am FINALLY starting to feel better.  I only went to 3 sessions but have given up on it, which is sad because I actually had hoped it would work. Trusting in Him….”

“All Things” will be available for streaming and download on all major music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.

[Music] Able – Ryan Stevenson

Following a season of listening, learning, and pressing into the promises of God, GRAMMY-nominated, Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter Ryan Stevenson returns on April 28 with ABLE. His fourth full-length Gotee Records release, the highly anticipated eight-song set—all co-penned by Stevenson—is a celebration of his identity in Christ.

ABLE was produced by a cadre of Christian music’s top names, including Micah Kuiper (TobyMac), Keith Everette Smith (Tasha Layton), Zach Holmes (RICHLIN), and 2022 Dove Award-winning Producer of the Year Jeff Pardo, among others.

The album’s opening track and latest digital single, “Closer” was written by Stevenson, Ethan Hulse, and The Afters’ Jordan Mohilowski. Featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday Christian and Pandora’s New Christian Music Now, as well as other leading playlists, “Closer” depicts a watershed moment in Stevenson’s understanding of grace.

“I was raised in a strict religious environment, and I saw God through a lens of fear, wrath, and moodiness, thinking He was always disappointed in His creation,” Stevenson explains. “But in this last season, the Lord quietly led me out into a wilderness where He could get face-to-face with me. I believe He did this out of kindness and jealousy for my wholeness, to settle a lot of questions and doubts I’ve lived with for many years.”

“For the first time ever, I’ve become rooted and established in my beloved identity,” he adds. “The Holy Spirit has begun to peel off layers of insecurity and fear of rejection. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says we are ‘the righteousness of God,’ and Galatians 2:20 says we ‘have been crucified with Christ’ and that everything connected with the old flesh has died. This revelation has pierced my heart and brought me tremendous freedom and a passion for helping others see Jesus through the same lens.”

ABLE is also highlighted by the title cut and debut single, a soul-stirring testimony of God’s faithfulness written by Stevenson, Blake NeeSmith, and Jeff Pardo. In addition, the poignant “Carry Me,” which Stevenson co-penned with Micah Kuiper and AJ Prius, holds a particularly special meaning.

Carry Me’ is the deepest expression of how I’ve felt over the last three years,” Stevenson shares. “It’s been a daily prayer for me, having dealt with tremendous fear, uncertainty, and feelings of rejection. I experienced a lot of loneliness in this last season, and simply asking God to carry me felt like the prayer of a child longing for his dad.”

Stevenson will share songs from ABLE as one of the featured artists at the 3rd Annual “K-LOVE Presents Live at Red Rocks.” The sold-out event, slated for August 1-2 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Denver, will also showcase sets from Zach Williams, We The Kingdom, CAIN, Anne Wilson, MercyMe, and Jeremy Camp, among others.

In addition, Stevenson is set to bring his “Gospel Nights Unplugged” Tour to a range of churches, theaters, and other intimate venues throughout the year. The tour originated in 2020 as “The Backyard Show,” and Stevenson has since played over 170 concerts to more than 34,000 fans.
