The Christian music group, Newsboys, is releasing a deluxe edition of their album, STAND on September 23, 2022. In this edition, the beloved group serves up three new recordings, elevating the album to a full 14 tracks. “King of Kings,” which features MercyMe frontman Bart Millard, adds a moment of praise and adoration to the collection. Lead singer, Michael Tait, who co-penned all ten songs on the original release, has added two more originals here on the extended release, “Jesus Did,” and “All Things Are Possible”. Additionally, STAND (Deluxe) includes an acoustic version of “I Still Believe You’re Good” and a fresh take on the title-cut that features Tait’s former dcTalk bandmate, TobyMac.
Current band members Michael Tait, Duncan Phillips, Jeff Frankenstein, and Jody Davis, began to assemble the album in 2020, with the intention of leaving no doubt as to who they are and what they believe. The result is STAND, one of the most thoughtfully-crafted releases of their career and a project that marks the band’s return to their original label home, Capitol CMG.
Written, recorded, and released during the extended time spent at home in 2020, Newsboys sought to craft a record that was the antithesis of one of the most confusing seasons of their careers. While STAND is their response to the questions raised over the past few years, melodically, it’s filled with bright sonic textures and arena-ready anthems—poised for their live shows. The group recently announced their “Stand Together Tour” with special guests Cochren & Co., Adam Agee, and Jeremy Rosado. Set to kick off October 6th in Champaign, IL, the tour will also make stops in Missouri, Florida, Oklahoma, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas throughout the fall. Recently, the music video for their single, “Magnetic”, was nominated for a Dove Award.
Renowned for their impassioned interpretations of timeless hymns and classic songs of faith, 11-time GMA Dove Award-winning vocal trio Selah is celebrating 25 years in Christian music with the release of two highly anticipated full-length recordings this fall.
Adding to an unparalleled discography showcasing Selah’s signature take on some of the most popular Inspirational songs of all time, Greatest Hymns Vol. 3 bows October 14 alongside At This Table: A Christmas Album. Both projects—releasing via the group’s label, 3Cre8tive—will be available exclusively at national retail with various singles slated for digital release.
Greatest Hymns Vol. 3 Selah’s third Greatest Hymns compilation delivers 13 piano-driven arrangements of genre-spanning favorites. Produced by Jason Kyle Saetveit, the album features such Sunday morning standards as “Blessed Assurance” and “Oh, How I Love Jesus”; an emotive new rendition of the iconic Imperials/Russ Taff anthem “Praise The Lord”; and the “Twila Paris Medley,” a tribute to one of Christian music’s seminal worship singer/songwriters. The project’s forthcoming single, “Put Your Hand In The Hand,” a rootsy, blues-infused cover of the 1970s pop-gospel classic, is slated to hit streaming platforms September 30.
“I am so excited about both projects we’re releasing this year, but the hymns album is especially close to my heart,” shares Selah’s Allan Hall. “It harkens back to the spirit of our very first album, Be Still My Soul, which was filled with hymns and classics set to simple piano/vocal arrangements. We wanted to involve our fans in selecting the songs this time around, so after receiving thousands of responses with many wonderful suggestions, we narrowed it down to the most requested songs and got to work. I’m pleased with how the project has turned out, and I truly hope our fans enjoy it. This album was made for them with much thought, care, and love.”
At This Table: A Christmas Album Continuing a milestone year, Selah is also set to release At This Table: A Christmas Album October 14—their first new holiday recording since the 2002 classic Rose Of Bethlehem. Showcasing a range of modern and traditional songs of the season, the 10-song set was produced by Jason Kyle Saetveit and Chris Bevins. The lushly orchestrated title-cut—co-penned and originally recorded by stage and screen star Idina Menzel—encapsulates the album’s theme, welcoming listeners into a poignantly reflective Christmas collection. The song will be available on streaming platforms November 4.
“I first heard ‘At This Table’ in a coffee shop and it stopped me in my tracks,” remembers Selah’s Amy Perry. “It so resonated with me because I’m from a large family with several siblings adopted through the foster care system—and now my own family is on a foster care journey as well. No family sees eye-to-eye all the time, but my parents were adamant that no matter the differences, their home and hearts were always open to us. That’s a picture of how Jesus feels about us, too. No matter the circumstance, we are always welcome at His table.”
Additional highlights of At This Table include the sacred carols “Away In A Manger (Sweet Melody)”; “It Came Upon The Midnight Clear”; and “The First Noel,” as well as such contemporary Christmas tracks as “The Night That Love Was Born” and “Mary Had A Little Lamb.”
Selah – 25 Years Since the release of their watershed debut, Be Still My Soul, Selah has become one of the most beloved groups in Christian music with more than 750 million streams and over 4 million albums sold. The trio’s genre-spanning renditions of cherished hymns and Inspirational classics, as well as their signature originals, have been beacons of hope and healing to listeners around the world for 25 years.
“There have been many highlights in our career so far, including performing at Carnegie Hall; singing at the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon after September 11, 2001; making our debut on the Grand Ole Opry; and headlining the historic Ryman Auditorium,” says Selah’s Todd Smith. “However, the stories of how God has spoken to others through our music mean the most to us.”
“We received a letter from a lady recounting a dark moment when she felt she had nothing to live for and was on the verge of ending her life with a handful of pills,” Smith shares. “She cried out to God and said, ‘Jesus, if You are there and if You care, will You show me?’ Her clock-radio alarm suddenly switched on, tuned to a Christian radio station she’d never listened to. Our song ‘Press On’ was playing. ‘When the valley is deep/When the mountain is steep/When the body is weary…In Jesus’ name, we press on…We find the strength to press on.’ In that moment she put down the pills. I’m so grateful that God has used us in His story for the past 25 years.”
Selah’s iconic anthems include “You Raise Me Up,” “Press On,” “Wonderful, Merciful Savior” and the multi-week #1 hit, “You Amaze Us,” among numerous others. Comprised of Todd Smith, Allan Hall and Amy Perry, the group has garnered 11 Gospel Music Association Dove Awards—including seven Inspirational Album of the Year trophies—two Gold-certified albums, and eight #1 singles to date.
for KING & COUNTRY brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone join Country Faith Radio with Hillary Scott in studio to share their inspiring journey. From their youth in Australia, to overcoming family hardship upon arrival in the States, the duo recalls impactful life experiences that influenced collaborations with Dolly Parton and Hillary Scott.

Joel Reveals His Family is Working on a Film About His Parents Migration Story We’ve been doing a deep dive because not only has mom written an autobiographical book from her perspective, called Behind the Lights, we’ve actually put together a documentary, but we’re also working on a feature film of our parents’ epic, tragic, faith-filled migration from Australia to the United States in the early ’90s. So it’s a ’90 film. It’s all the chaos of the ’90s. It’s the chaos of Australians getting dropped into not just America, but into the American South. So we’ve been working with screenwriters and producers. We’re going into production in October. So, got offers out to actors and the whole thing. The clincher is that I’m actually going to play dad in the film. So, talk about a family enmeshment. And for those of you who don’t know again, our dad is, he’s the silent third member of for KING & COUNTRY. He owns the band with Luke and I. He’s our manager and has got 50 years of musical experience under his belt, both in Australia and the United States.
Joel Shares His Family’s Migration Story from Australia to the US We were wee lads, but Dad was a promoter in Australia. He’s always been a bit of a salesman, marketing, promoter type. So he’d bring over Amy Grant and Stryper and White Heart and Petra, the whole thing. Our first memories were looking at vinyl records, going to shows, and that’s where really we fell in love with music. Well, he lost a half a million dollars on a tour that went sideways. It’s a small music industry in America, but it’s even smaller in Australia, so he was disgraced. Came to America with mom, six kids, one on the way, in the early ’90s to start over again. We did whatever we could to put food back on the table as a family. It really knit us together as a family. We also would circle up and we would just pray for everything. We didn’t have a car, we didn’t have furniture, we didn’t have insurance. We just saw God miraculously bring all of these things to fruition. It was an incredible walk of faith. That’s really what launched our sister, Rebecca St. James, into music. Dad needed cheap labor. He saw he had five sons. We became the crew on the road, and really, again, that’s where Luke and I respectively fell in love with music behind the scenes.
Hillary Scott Discusses Growing Up Traveling on a Tour Bus with Her Parents Because of my story, because of my mom and dad moving to Nashville from their hometowns, my mom’s career taking off. I was driver side, bottom bunk. Kindergarten and first grade, I was homeschooled. Lived on the bus. But it’s so amazing to sit here with two individuals that have that shared experience because it’s just been such an interesting head scratcher when I would talk to friends. Like, “what was it like for you in Kindergarten?” And I was like, “Well, I lived on a bus.” And it’s just such a fascinating, very unconventional way to grow up. My parents ended up touring as a backing band with Reba [McEntire] from the time I was five or six to 13. So those years weren’t the same for me with traveling touring wise. But you don’t forget it. And I feel like it imprints on your heart and on your creative being.
