The new year kicks off with brand new music from a new collective, Sons Of Sunday, as they debut the first two songs from an upcoming project set to release early this year.

Sons Of Sunday (SOS) includes Steven Furtick, Brandon Lake, Chandler Moore, Chris Brown, Leeland Mooring, and Pat Barrett.

Each member brings unique talents and experiences within the Christian music scene:

Steven Furtick: Founder and lead pastor of Elevation Church, GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter and producer, and New York Times bestselling author based in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Brandon Lake: GRAMMY® and GMA Dove Award-winning artist and songwriter known for collaborations with Elevation Worship, Maverick City Music and Bethel Music.

Chandler Moore: GRAMMY® Award-winning artist, songwriter and producer recognized for his work with Maverick City Music and collaborations with Elevation Worship.

Chris Brown: GRAMMY® and GMA Dove Award-winning artist, songwriter and producer. Leader of Elevation Worship based at Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC.

Leeland Mooring: Lead singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist for the GRAMMY® and GMA Dove Award-nominated band LEELAND.

Pat Barrett: Worship leader and GMA Dove Award-winning songwriter known for songs such as “Build My Life” and “Good Good Father.”

Dan Bremnes goes back to the beginning on “Started With You.” Part gratitude, part grapple, the atmospheric pop track reveals the singer-songwriter, at times, gasping for air as he wrestles down hope.

A tale of coming back to life, Bremnes credits his Maker for salvation and relief as easily as he credits his loved ones for sticking by his side when he hit rock bottom. A song for those at the end of their rope, “Started With You” offers a light at the end of the tunnel for anyone who’s ever felt forsaken.

GRAMMY-nominated artist Ryan Ellis shares Real Love.

“I noticed a unifying theme of love and acceptance through all of the inspiration in writing this project,” shares Ryan Ellis. “With so much heartache and division around us, what does God’s love, empathy, and understanding authentically look like in today’s world? That’s what this album hopes to question and capture.”

This new album follows the acclaimed self-titled album released in 2022, which produced the hit singles “Heart of the Father” and “Gonna Be Alright.”

Last summer, Ellis released the double single “Without Jesus” / “Eva Comin’ Down,” following the viral hit “Better Days,” which amassed more than 200K+ creates on TikTok alone paving the way for this new album. Ellis was nominated for his first GRAMMY Award this year for his songwriting on Maverick City Music’s “God Problems” as well as a KLOVE Fan Award nomination and performance for “I Thank God” by Housefires featuring JWLKRS & Ryan Ellis.

Anchor Hymns presents “The Garden,” the collective’s new single announcing an upcoming album. Recorded live at Covenant Presbyterian in Nashville, TN, in the very place where tragedy ripped the community apart a year prior, this project offers hope in the heartbreak and points to the dawn of resurrection despite the void of loss.

“The Garden” is a song for grief without dwelling in sadness. It’s an ode to what walking with God through tragedy is like and reflects on Christ’s time in the Garden of Gethsemane – the in-between where death and resurrection were both a reality. Led by Sandra McCracken and Sarah Kroger, the single is atmospheric and spacious, inviting listeners to experience Jesus’ love through lyrics that weave imagery from Eden and Gethsemane together.

“We considered the various images of a garden in the Bible and noticed some rich and poetic parallels. I find this [song] to be deeply contemplative,” McCracken explained. Since its inception, Anchor Hymns has sought to create space for suffering and celebration alike. The collective’s founder, Andrew Osenga, noted, “We mourn, but we rejoice. We doubt, but we believe,” a sentiment encapsulated in “The Garden.”

Reach Records celebrates 116 Day with the release of the powerful new single “King David” featuring Lecrae, Trip Lee, Anike, Jackie Hill Perry, and dynamic Christian-Latin artist Alexxander. The single is available now on all major streaming platforms.

January 16, dubbed 116 Day, has become a longstanding tradition for Reach Records and fans of The 116 Movement. Founded in the early 2000s by Lecrae and Ben Washer, The 116 Movement began as a bold declaration of living unashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, inspired by Romans 1:16:

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes…”

What started as a lifestyle statement evolved into a groundbreaking musical expression, leading to the creation of Reach Records in 2004. Over two decades later, Reach Records has become a global force in faith-based music, with Grammy Awards, platinum records, Unashamed Tours, and an unwavering mission: to change the way people see the world through faith, music, and culture.

On “KING DAVID,” hard-hitting 808s set the stage for introspective verses reflecting on God’s power to conquer life’s greatest challenges. Grammy Award-winning producer and Reach Records A&R Ace Harris shared the vision behind the single:

“As we enter a new year, it’s vital to remember that the giants in our lives may seem massive to us, but they’re small in comparison to God. He’s the only Giant worth fearing.”

Each artist brought their unique perspective and style to “KING DAVID,” creating an anthem that inspires listeners to trust in God’s strength.

“When we started the 116 Movement, we had no idea how far God would take it. We were just a group of people unashamed of the gospel, wanting to make music that inspired others to live boldly for Christ” says Lecrae, “Over 20 years later, I’m grateful to see how this movement continues to impact lives around the world. It’s a blessing to still be here, creating, collaborating, and celebrating what God has done.”

“KING DAVID” is more than just a song—it’s a call to faith and perseverance. Join Reach Records in celebrating 116 Day by streaming the single now and sharing the message of living unashamed for Christ.
