Don Moen has released a new song, “Great Is Your Mercy,” available on all music platforms now.

The internationally renowned singer/songwriter and worship music icon was inspired to write the song by Psalm 86:12-13, which says. “I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify Your name forevermore. For great is Your mercy toward me.”

About the song, Don says: “In these challenging times, more than ever, we need to stay focused on the fact that God’s mercies are new every morning, His promises are ageless, and His love will never end! The psalmist said, “I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever”. Join me today in declaring “Great Is Your Mercy Toward Me”.

This is not the first time the song has been recorded, but it is the first time the entire song has been released.

Don says: “Many years ago my friend Donnie McClurkin recorded just the chorus but there are two verses to the song as well, so I went into the studio with my band to record the entire song.”

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 also co-penned two originals found 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 an album that gave 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.

Coming out of a season of collective loss and disappointment, Newsboys sought to craft a record that was the antithesis of 2020. 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.

Ross Crawford, a worship artist and songwriter from Tulsa, Oklahoma, is releasing a single titled “Child of Mine” to Christian AC and Worship-formatted radio outlets today. Crawford also is founder and leader of the worship collective The Maranatha Project.

“Child of Mine,” written by Crawford and produced by Brice Reheard at Echo Studios, follows the chart-topping hit “Firm Foundation.” “Firm Foundation,” Crawford’s debut single, hit No. 1 on the CRC Weekly and CRC Monthly charts, as well as taking the No. 2 spot on CRC Yearly chart.

Crawford has been sharing music during worship for years. Growing up as a preacher’s kid, Crawford had many opportunities to sing in church. After graduating from high school, he got a job as the worship leader at the church where he was raised.

His love for music, however, goes back much earlier.

“My parents have pictures of me as a toddler sitting in front of the entertainment center with headphones on, listening to Handel’s Messiah.” Crawford says. “I still remember just laying on the floor of the living room, listening to Steven Curtis Chapman for hours. Now when I look back I can see that it was all just preparing me for this.”

In recent years, Crawford has shared his music with thousands of people in worship services across the Midwest and has shared the stage with artists such as Stars Go Dim, Austin French and many more.

Be A Light, in collaboration with Motown Gospel, proudly announces the September 2, 2022 release of The Evening: Live at APPARATUS, a new live album from 4x GRAMMY nominated duo The Baylor Project. This immersive, soul-stirring set was recorded in front of an engaged live audience at APPARATUS — an interdisciplinary design studio in New York City. For three magical nights, the indomitable couple and their exceptional band graced the stage at MUMS, an ephemeral jazz club created within APPARATUS’ gallery. The Evening: Live at APPARATUS displays the transformative power of performance, in a presentation of both style and substance.

The Baylor Project’s outstanding live performances have brought audiences to their feet worldwide. Whether performing at a world-class festival for thousands of concert-goers, or for a small attentive audience in a tucked-away club, these married musical partners have been known to put on a show that is both uplifting and transcendent. As the children of pastors, Marcus and Jean saw the sublime, restorative power of music first-hand. This rich life experience comes through in their magnificent live shows, where audience members often leave feeling like family.

Their commanding performance captured the attention of Gabriel Hendifar, the Artistic Director of APPARATUS, whose design practice explores the relationship between lighting, furniture, and objects in their environment. Hendifar’s latest collection, titled Act Four, took inspiration from cultural touchpoints of the 1960s and jazz music of the era. He knew he wanted to design a jazz club to celebrate the collection launch during New York Design Week, but he needed the final piece: the musical muse to bring the entire concept together. When Hendifar’s team stumbled upon a video of The Baylor Project’s vibrant “We Swing” he knew he had met his match.

He named the jazz club MUMS, after the thousands of peach-colored chrysanthemums that tastefully adorned the dimly-lit space. Light fixtures that managed to be both retro and contemporary glowed beyond the bandstand, as the light chatter of an excited, well-healed audience filled the room. When Jean Baylor, dressed in a striking mod-era golden sheath dress came to the stage with her smartly dressed counterpart Marcus, followed by their stylish band, it became abundantly clear that this would be a night to remember.

The room immediately warmed to the group which included pianist Terry Brewer, saxophonist Keith Loftis, trumpeter Darren Barrett, trombonist Mark Williams, and bassist Yasushi Nakamura. Marcus immediately set the mood on The Evening: Live at Apparatus with his inviting call to worship on “Our Love Is Here To Stay,” before Brewer shines on a solo piano feature, titled “Lord Keep Me Day By Day” which launches into their fan-favorite reimagination of the hymn “Great Is Thy Faithfulness”. The beautiful arrangement showcases Keith Loftis on a fiery soprano saxophone solo.

Marcus is featured on the drum solo interlude “Call of the Drum”, which, over nearly four minutes, chronicles his vast musical journey from playing in his father’s church in St. Louis to his experiences playing with jazz icons Yellowjackets and Kenny Garrett. This moves into “Tell Me a Story”, a lyrical remake of Herbie Hancock’s “Tell Me a Bedtime Story”. On “Tenderly” Jean takes her time with the warm embrace of this old standard, before stepping into “We Swing (The Cypher)”. Having first appeared on Generations and named one of the Top Tracks of 2021 by NPR Music, Jean sings the parts previously sung by Jazzmeia Horn and Dianne Reeves on this exciting rendition as she whips the crowd into a frenzy. The energy transfers to the slower pace of “Love Makes Me Sing”, as the delighted audience sings along.

The pace changes on the contemplative and powerful “2020”, which is a bluesy prayer sung in the spirit of the Negro Spiritual. A somber reflection on modern racial oppression, the energy in the room is palpable throughout this striking highlight. The set concludes with the affirming sendoff “Only Believe”. “Laugh and Move On” is the tasty bonus track, and features some notable three-part harmony with the horn section.

The setlist performed at APPARATUS pulls from The Baylor Project’s previous releases including their 2017 debut The Journey, which debuted in the top ten on the Billboard Jazz Chart and went on to garner two GRAMMY nominations (for Best Jazz Vocal Album and Best Traditional R&B Performance for their song “Laugh And Move On”). Generations, which was released last June, gained them a fourth GRAMMY nod (in 2020, their pandemic-era anthem “Sit On Down” was nominated) and won the NAACP Image Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album topping the Jazzweek Radio chart. Both albums have received worldwide commercial and critical acclaim. Jean and Marcus are thrilled to add a live album to their growing discography.

“We create moments that feel like mirages,” says Hendifar, describing the experiences he creates to celebrate the launch of a new collection. “They are here for a moment in time, and then they’re gone. We invite you to step into a dream and part of the magic is that it’s only going to happen once – the dream disappears.” Fortunately, The Evening: Live at APPARATUS preserves a taste of that magical weekend and invites us all to revel in it.

“The Good News,” a new single from Rapper/Singer-Songwriter G.L.O, which stands for God’s Love Only, is set to go for adds to Christian radio today. The single, which went to retail earlier this month, will be serviced to Christian AC and Christian Hot AC/CHR-formatted radio outlets. A poignant and uplifting video for “The Good News” is available below.

The latest single follows eight chart-toppers that debuted at No. 1 at ChristianRadioChart.com for the hitmaker.

“The Good News” is based on Matthew 28:19-20 which speaks of the Great Commission, says G.L.O, and “is a reminder that we will endure hardships in this world but through it all we must continue to be light. We have been entrusted and sent out into the world to reach the lost souls by sharing the Gospel which is ‘The Good News’ of salvation in Jesus Christ.”

Kim Ruiz wrote the song. Alex Rene Espinoza is the producer.

Music has been important to G.L.O since she was young. When she received Jesus Christ as her Savior in 1998, she asked God to reveal her purpose. As she began writing songs, the songwriter noticed that none of her songs glorified God.

“That all changed one fateful day,” G.L.O says, “when God had a Word for me in Bible Study: ‘You can’t have one foot in the world and one foot out.’ After receiving that message, it was the breakthrough I needed. I haven’t looked back.”

With a ministry that knows no boundaries and one that reaches the young and the old, G.L.O’s prayer is that her music can break down the misconception that rap is only of the world.

G.L.O has appeared on local TBN networks as well as UK London International TBN. She has performed onstage at the Gospel Superfest where she shared the platform with artists such as Deitrick Haddon, Lecrae, Dorinda Clark-Cole, and others. She has enjoyed radio airplay from U.S. and international radio outlets.
