Wilson’s new single “Hey Girl,” which Billboard notes “further heightens her country ties” is an uplifting, energetic anthem that connects with fans. Since its release, “Hey Girl” hit No. 1 on the TikTok Country playlist with 8.2M views on TikTok. The hashtag, #HeyGirl, has surpassed 190M views and stemming from this, Wilson has launched Hey Girl Nation as a community for her fans to connect, encourage self-confidence and remind members of their self-worth. “Hey Girl” is a follow up hit to Wilson’s breakout debut single, “My Jesus,” which was named ASCAP Song of the Year and made history as the longest No.1 single on Billboard’s Christian Airplay chart last year.
Expanding upon her explosive year, Wilson is set to release her first book My Jesus: From Heartache to Hope from Thomas Nelson on Oct. 25.

Now available in English for the first time, the poignant offering invites weary listeners to cast their cares on a God who is capable of great things. “Carry The World” was written by Meredith Andrews, Ryan Ellis, and Andrew Bergthold; and produced by Andrew Bergthold.
MŌRIAH shares a live video of “Known, Seen, Loved.” The recording was captured in Scandinavia.
“This compilation of our “Known, Seen, Loved” performances is the only way I know how to say “thank you” to #Sweden & #Norway for their love and hospitality. As you watch, from wherever you are in the world, I hope you feel like you were with me, heart to heart, voice to mic” -MŌRIAH
MŌRIAH (Smallbone) is releasing a new EP entitled Curtain Call, with the three-track album fully available on October 28, 2022.
MŌRIAH describes the production process this way: “Maybe you’ve heard these lyrics before. But not like this. Every rhythm element, synth sound, texture, bass line, and guitar strum came from my fingers. It’s imperfect, it’s messy, it’s experimental and it’s from my heart. To yours. Each song has come back for its ‘Curtain Call.’ To say thank you, in its most honest form, for your love, your friendship, and your honesty. You are known, seen, and loved.”
Shaylee Simeone shares the official lyric video for “Join In,” which is from Simeone’s Streams of Worship. The five-song EP is available now.

Chart-topping Christian rock radio vocalist Matt Sassano is proudly partnering with nonprofit organization TheHopeLine to launch the “My Dear God Letters” initiative.
The initiative aligns with the message of his In Defiance EP, which was released in August via Rockfest Records. Sassano’s music is a call to action to the listener to stand in defiance to whatever makes them feel alone, depressed or powerless. The initiative is putting words into action and providing a safe environment with professional support from TheHopeLine to share stories and seek support from a welcoming community.
The landing page also gives his fans an opportunity to learn more about his backstory, which is riddled with mental health struggles, abuse, and disabilities. Together, Sassano hopes to get honest with his fanbase and come together stronger than ever before.
About the initiative:
“We are hoping for a variety of submissions from people who just are tired of ‘faking it’ and want a place to be real with how they feel and what they are dealing with. I sincerely believe the first step to mental health healing is being transparent about the ugly things nobody wants to confront. My Dear God letter gives you that chance.” – Matt Sassano
About TheHopeLine:
“As a person who has suffered mental health issues in the past, I resonate with TheHopeLine’s mission. I was once a kid locked away in a psych ward with not many people who even cared to visit me. It was dark. But later I saw things turn around and I was a mental health aide in a psych facility. I’m living proof that you CAN turn things around with both prayer, support and help. I believe what TheHopeLine does and am passionate about helping people find the same healing I did.” – Matt Sassano
Though Matt Sassano launched his solo career in 2016, his roots in rock music run deep with his bands Transparent and Transparent Soul. His six years with these rock ensembles prepared him for sharing his debut solo LP Transcend in 2019, driven by energetic synths and raw storytelling. His passion for Christianity, songwriting and music creation have helped him navigate life with Cerebral Palsy and the rare learning disability Dyscalculia. Not only has he connected with fellow underdogs everywhere through his craft, but Matt’s work was also featured on the 2012 NASCAR The Game: Inside Line. As Matt ventures into a new chapter of his musical career with the awe-inspiring and riff-laden In Defiance, it’s clear his heavy rock journey is far from over.
Sibling trio CAIN is so “blessed” to release “I’m So Blessed (Best Day Remix”) today. Listen HERE. This new version of their current radio single was quickly created to answer the call of their listeners, thanks to the overwhelming response from the video they posted in late August on their social channels, which quickly went viral. Since then, it has had more than 10M combined views on CAIN’s social channels and there have been more than 37,000 user-generated uses of the sound from the video, accounting for an additional 15M views.
Additionally, the band’s following on Instagram and TikTok has grown by an incredible 150,000 followers, while streams of the song on DSPs are up 300% in that same time period. Be sure to check out the video on their IG and TikTok pages and the full audio of the remix below.
“I’m not a rapper and will never claim to be,” Logan Cain states. “I just had a dream in my head one day of me rapping along to the song. I admit that I originally heard it in a Chance The Rapper tone, but I made up my own version and started doing it in our shows. What has been so great is that people were just connecting with the song’s message, that your status as a child of the Most High is not conditional. When we were writing the song, that’s exactly what we hoped the takeaway would be from its message.”
Logan continues, ” It doesn’t matter what day it is, if it’s a random Tuesday or even your birthday, and it’s not about having dollar signs in your eyes and sunglasses on at night. It’s being blessed knowing that Jesus is mine and I am His. We’re hoping that who we serve has the biggest say in how we serve them. We want the listeners to know that we’re so grateful that you have connected with this song in such a major way. We heard you and we got this version out as quickly as we could!”
