Songs From The Soil introduce their third single, a groovy version of ‘You’re Still God’. Originally written by Philippa Hanna, the song is performed by London-based artists Junior Garr and Emmanuel Smith in a rendition that is as spacious as it is soulful.
‘You’re Still God’ was penned at a time when a string of deep challenges hit Philippa and her family; when stability seemed like a distant dream, she turned to worship as a means of survival and restoration. Since then, ‘You’re Still God’ has become an anthem joining people to declare God’s sovereignty, goodness and faithfulness.
Songs From The Soil encourage the Church with a vital message that we cannot let chaos steal our faith. Their new single gives language and melody to those currently grieving, struggling or just seeking to stand on God’s promises.
As a community of British worship artists and songwriters passionate to craft songs infused with the flavour of their local context, they affirm the heartbeat of unity at their core with a song that seeks to infuse hope in the world.

The genesis of LEELAND’s new album ‘City of God’ came from their desire to fearlessly explore a pastoral and prophetic voice of worship where songs are sung together and over the people of God.
The 11 new songs are centred around the thematic of Psalm 46 through thoughtful and innovative songwriting. Recorded in a live rehearsal room with no audience but special guest artists including TAYA, Charity Gayle, Rita Springer, Vanessa Hill, and Lauren Strahm (Fleurie), an expansive soundscape is captured on each of the new songs.
‘City of God’ unpacks three layers of the project’s foundational Scripture in songs of hope for the midst of trouble, songs of intimacy and safety, and songs of God’s justice. Initially sparked in the chaos of the pandemic, the inspiration is for it to be a prophetic oeuvre making space for meditation.
It also captures the profound power of art to invite people inside a divine world brought alive through music, pushing conversations around artistic pursuit forward within the Church.
The album’s title refers to the Church, the people of God that make up his coming Kingdom and dwelling place in society here and now, pointing to the hope of the heavenly Jerusalem. LEELAND infuse beauty and truth into the culture through their new project, re-telling stories of old with sharp creative flair.
They embody a priestly and innovative dynamic as ‘City of God’ strikes the balance between a conceptual album and a trailblazing, congregational source of new songs for the Church of today.
Following the release of his new radio single “What He Didn’t Do”, Landry Cantrell releases his new song “You and Nobody” on DREAM Records. The song was produced and co-written by Neon Feather.
“I’m so excited to share this song because I think the message is so timely. “You and Nobody” is a declaration about fully putting our faith and trust in Jesus. No matter what comes our way we can proclaim with joy and confidence that we are not afraid because we know who is in control.” – Landry Cantrell
“This Moment” the new track by Run51 is now available via DREAM Records. Available on all digital service providers, the track features pop artist Branan Murphy.

Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is beyond our control, but making the most of what is right in front of us is sometimes life biggest challenge. We hope This Moment encourages you to stop being distracted by the all this world offers and to use your life purposefully loving God and others.” – Jason Burris, Run51

Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors release “Find Your People” – stream via your preferred DSP HERE. A joyful rallying cry, the single is the latest from the band’s forthcoming new studio album Strangers No More due out June 7th via Magnolia Music.
“Find Your People” comes with the official music video – watch HERE, follows last month’s finger-picked folk song “Fly” (watch video HERE), and is the fourth to be released ahead of the Strangers No More LP.
“Life is hard. It’s a lot harder when you go it alone. “Find Your People” is a folk anthem about how we need each other. Part of the river of this record is about how to navigate the chaos of economic uncertainty, family drama, political division, and the general untethering that so many of us feel. It’s about finding who you trust, who know you, who are there for you in times of trouble, who can call your bluff and tell you the truth, who will stand with you no matter what. I have been lucky enough to have a lot of those people in my life and I know I couldn’t live without them.” – Drew Holcomb on “Find Your People”
Strangers No More is Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors ninth album and follows the band’s critically acclaimed 2019 LP Dragons. On the new album, Holcomb celebrates the sense of togetherness as he and his longtime bandmates – Nathan Dugger (guitar), Rich Brinsfield (bass), Will Sayles (drums), and Ian Miller (keys) – rejoice in one another’s presence after a long hiatus due to the pandemic. Strangers No More was recorded over eight inspired days in Asheville, NC at Echo Mountain Studios with Cason Cooley (Ben Rector, Ingrid Michaelson) producing. They focused on live-in-the-studio performances that showcased the band’s chemistry and camaraderie, capturing the bulk of each song — including vocals, instrumental textures, and solos — in real time. “We’d do eight to ten performances of a single song, looking for the revelatory moment,” Holcomb remembers. “The goal was to prove an expanded vision of who we are and what we do.”
In addition to releasing a new full-length studio album this year and making their return to Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, the band is celebrating the 10-Year Anniversary of one of their most beloved albums, 2013’s Good Light. The decade that followed saw Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors release five consecutive albums that peaked in the upper reaches of the Billboard charts. Also in that time period, Holcomb launched the incredibly popular Moon River Music Festival, an annual event that is heading into its eighth year (and fifth in Chattanooga, TN’s Coolidge Park) this coming September 9th and 10th. 2023’s lineup featuring Hozier, Caamp, Nickel Creek, First Aid Kit, Marcus King and more (see full lineup HERE) was announced last week and sold out in mere days!

Two-time GRAMMY Award-winning singer and songwriter Lauren Daigle debuts her new single, “Thank God I Do,” and announces her forthcoming self-titled album, Lauren Daigle, due out May 12, 2023.
“Thank God I Do” marks the launch of a new creative chapter for the multi-platinum selling, Louisiana-bred artist, who just last month announced the signing to Atlantic Records in partnership with longtime label home Centricity Music. The creative team behind Lauren Daigle is led by Grammy-winning producer Mike Elizondo (Twenty One Pilots, Mary J. Blige, Fiona Apple, Carrie Underwood), and includes co-writes with Natalie Hemby, Shane McAnally, Amy Wadge, Lori McKenna, Jason Ingram and Jon Greene to name a few. Lauren Daigle comprises twenty soulful and uplifting songs to be released in two parts. The first ten songs arrive May 12, and the other ten release later this year.
Listen to “Thank God I Do” HERE– Daigle’s first release via Atlantic Records/Centricity Music – and pre-save Lauren Daigle album HERE.
“This is my most precious project,” Daigle shares, “It’s got fun moments, solemn moments, extrovert moments and introvert moments. And I’m just thrilled about taking my songwriting further on this record than anything I’ve done previously.”
Lauren Daigle taps into every side of the multi-faceted artist herself – showcasing her stunning and powerful voice, rich storytelling, and incredible musicality drawn from and inspired by her New Orleans roots.
With over a billion streams and years of sold-out US and international tours to her name, Lauren Daigle continues to cement her status as a modern vocal powerhouse with a global, ever-growing fanbase.
Since the release of her GRAMMY Award-winning, platinum-certified 2018 album Look Up Child – which includes the breakthrough hit single “You Say” – Daigle has been a mainstay on the Billboard charts. When Look Up Child debuted at No. 3 on the Top 200 Albums chart, Daigle became the first female artist in history to simultaneously hit the Top 10 on both Billboard’s Pop and Christian Album charts.
She went on to break another record when the LP reached 100 weeks at No. 1 on the Top Christian Albums chart, which is the greatest number of weeks that any artist has spent at the top of any individual album chart. Similarly, the 5x platinum-certified “You Say” is the longest-running No. 1 to appear on any weekly Billboard chart.
Born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Lauren Daigle is a two-time Grammy, seven-time Billboard Music Award, four-time American Music Award, and ten-time GMA Dove Music Award winner.
Off stage, Daigle remains committed to investing her time to promote music education, work with at-risk youth, and provide care for children, the elderly, and those in need through The Price Fund, an organization she founded in 2018. To date, she has distributed over $2.4 million to 40 nonprofits around the world.
