Munday Martin has released “Fly” his fifth single for a series of singles which will appear on his 6 song EP release October 21 of this month!”

Munday Martin was recently promoted as the best up and coming artist in Nashville Tennessee by Nashville‘s biggest rock station recently, and without question is certainly making waves in the Christian and secular music industry with his retro rock vibe reminiscent of the 80s and 90s.

“Fly is a song I wrote about breaking and defying statistical explanations that the enemy puts on us. One thing that I have learned following Christ is even the sky is not the limit. We can truly move mountains with our faith. He wants us to dream far bigger than we allow ourselves to. I believe when it comes to following Christ’s words there is no try, there is only do. I know it sounds a little bit like Yoda! And no it’s not a sci-fi song like “The Fix Is In.” Fly is my beloved tribute to ska-punk. People who hear it will immediately be reminded of the likes of the “Supertones” and “Madness.”

What many people probably don’t know about me is I got saved after being touched by the Holy Spirit at a “Supertones” moshPit at the Cornerstone music festival in 1996. God used Christian ska punk to help open my eyes that he loved me in my punk days as an addict. Nobody who has been to Cornerstone would ever forget that experience put on by the Jesus People in Illinois. Munday would like to dedicate this song to the “Supertones” as a way to say thank you for laying your life down for the gospel and reaching me with music for Christ.

Producer John Mark Painter (Fleming and John, DC Talk, Grits, Steve Taylor and the Perfect Foil) on this song has outdone himself. I played and recorded the song on acoustic guitar and at first it sounded like a Buddy Holly song, but it became Buddy Holly meets Madness. I have already received feedback from fans that it’s one of my best releases! The melody will stick in your head forever!

LEELAND release the second single from their recently announced upcoming album. After their return to the worship scene with ‘Heart & Flesh’ featuring Australian artist TAYA last month, the Texas-based band release ‘Still Mighty’.

The new single is an atmospheric, Psalm-like, rock-infused track delving into the sure Presence of the Lord in the midst of the suffering that’s intrinsic to life. LEELAND introduce a fresh soundscape that takes their signature alternative worship style to new levels of creativity.

With a driving bass line, crisp drums, and band leader Leeland Mooring’s smooth vocals alongside a vibrant choir, ‘Still Mighty’ is only the beginning of the groundbreaking songs yet to come from LEELAND.

“Still Mighty” is available now.

Vineyard Worship announce new single ‘Look To Him (I See The Light)’. The song was recorded live at Dreaming the Impossible, a festival for young people from churches everywhere, which gathered three thousand from across the UK this summer.

‘Look To Him (I See The Light)’ is led by Jon Solway, who together with Beth McNeil, Harmony Smith and Rich Dicas, also penned the new song. Full of energy and inviting, Dreaming the Impossible’s new single starts as a prayerful picture of light breaking through the clouds, bringing warmth, life, and refreshing.

“Many young people face huge challenges with mental health [and] we wanted to write a song that reminds us all of the truth that the light of God’s Kingdom breaks into our dark world,” Jon comments.

‘Look To Him (I See The Light)’ is, at its core, a song of hope which is clearly contagious as the live event’s crowd joins in with dynamic singing. Jon concludes with the outcome of what the new Dreaming the Impossible single seeks to have in the Church, “Together we can look to Him, and together we’ll see Him move. ”

‘Look To Him (I See The Light)’ was produced by Jonny Bird and is available everywhere now.

The nature of the worship experience can often be described as praise and prophetic, and the song ‘Way Maker’ has been resonating in churches all over the world for this reason.

3x GRAMMY-winning collective Israel & New Breed unveil their new live project ‘Worship Anywhere’ via District 11 Entertainment. The moving 14-track album was recorded live at Camp New Breed in Nassau, NY, and features spirited collaborations with Adrienne Bailon-Houghton, Joe L. Barnes, DOE, Nate Diaz and more — all led by 6x GRAMMY-winning artist, songwriter and producer Israel Houghton.

LISTEN TO ‘WORSHIP ANYWHERE’ HERE

“My wife Adrienne always has these wild ideas at 5AM, and one day she said, ‘I know what we’re gonna do. We’re recording the new record at a camp with adults,’” Houghton explains. “After thinking about it for a while, I was totally on board. We always say you can worship anywhere, and I think this project is a testament to that. It’s also a testament to the fact that, in today’s day and age, you can record anywhere too. It was really important for this album — when you watch the videos and even when you just listen to the music — to feel like fans are truly immersed in the process, and I was like, ‘What is more immersive than 45 people in a circle in worship?’ Drop some mics into that – that’s immersive. So, while the recording process was very challenging, it was also extremely rewarding and fun, and I hope fans feel like they are alongside us at Camp New Breed when they listen to this new music.”

Pulling from the group’s past work, the impressive project opens with “New Breed Anthem” — a stomp-clap singalong that will get all New Breed fans on their feet and ready to dive into the record.

The thumping, fiddle-driven “Wrong About You” featuring Joe L. Barnes is a must-listen for all who have experienced a troubled relationship with faith, as the group details the journey to opening their eyes to the joy that God truly brings. “Blessing and Honor” featuring Anna Sailors is a simple, yet beautiful, worship anthem that flows straight into the powerfully harmonious anthem “Worthy.”

New Breed strips back the noise on “Flow Like A River,” taking a moment to reflect on the great healing works being done in our daily lives before the high-octane energy returns on the heart-thumping call-and-response title track. The driving spirit continues in “Campfire Coritos,” which features Israel’s wife Adrienne Bailon-Houghton and sister-in-law Claudette Bailon and is sung entirely in Spanish. The album closes with a compilation of traditional worship songs in “Spirit Medley.”

Worship Anywhere – Israel & New Breed

Israel Houghton is a 6x GRAMMY-winning gospel singer-songwriter, band leader, and innovator whose 23-year career with the musical collective New Breed has taken him around the world, growing and adapting in surprising ways over a very transformative stretch of music and cultural history.

Since the release of his first studio album in 1997, Houghton has looked to the live performance format as a means to blur the lines between band, family and audience, including 2004’s ‘Live From Another Level’ and 2005’s ‘Alive in South Africa,’ the latter of which won the GRAMMY Award for Best Traditional Gospel Album. Houghton would later take home three awards for Best Pop / Contemporary Gospel Album and eventually a Best Gospel Album award for 2015’s ‘Covered: Alive In Asia.’ Israel recently welcomed his first child with wife Adrienne Bailon-Houghton, baby Ever James.

Tasha Cobbs Leonard recently garnered two Dove Award nominations for Contemporary Gospel Recorded Song of the Year for her strength and perseverance anthem “Gotta Believe” and Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year for “Lift Every Voice.” She originally recorded “Gotta Believe” as part of NPR Morning Edition’s Song Project, a series launched during lockdown to provide an outlet for artists to write and perform an original song as a way to reflect the times. In an interview about the song’s origins, Tasha opened up about some of her personal struggles, including losing family and friends to the COVID pandemic.

Crowder announces his new holiday album Milk And Cookies (due later this month on Oct 21), a seasonal take on his 2021 release Milk And Honey.

Featuring a mix of festive originals, re-imagined classics, and creative collaborations, the 14-track project is complete with Crowder’s signature charm on multiple interludes scattered throughout, playing the role of an objective narrator that has become a staple of classic holiday films. Crowder’s energy, infectious personality and comedic timing are on full display throughout the record, including a tribute to the North Pole’s working class, “The Elf Song,” and an objective look at the woes of Mrs. Claus in “The Ballad of Mrs. C (She’s Sick of the Beard).”

Other standouts include a booming symphonic version of “Carol Of The Bells” and a collaboration with Country Music Hall of Famer Ricky Scaggs on a banjo-driven rendition of “Go Tell It On The Mountain.”

Paul Wilbur celebrate the 25th Anniversary of his ‘Holy Fire’ album with a Deluxe edition! The album came out of Wilbur’s passion for the Presence and move  the Holy Spirit to burn like a fire in the Church, and from a hunger for His presence.

The title track, ‘Holy Fire’, came to Wilbur in a dream. As he woke up and wrote the lyrics to the song, the rest of the album followed. 

‘Holy Fire’ is still relevant for the church today, bringing songs of revival and passion for us to carry into the next twenty-five years and beyond.
