Today, Grammy-winning gospel singer-songwriter Jonathan McReynolds brings a fresh sound to the holiday season with the release of his first-ever Christmas EP, Red & Green, via Life Room Label/Capitol Christian Music Group/Motown Gospel. This collection features an eclectic blend of original songs, offering the perfect soundtrack for festive celebrations or cozy nights by the fire.

Known for his signature voice and heartfelt lyrics, McReynolds delivers a unique take on Christmas music with entirely new compositions that capture the spirit of the season.

McReynolds shares, “Christmas comes at the end of the year. And sometimes that year took a lot out of us. The cost and the benefit of being able to put on your red and green and get in the spirit of the season and remind yourself of God’s greatest gift to us gets higher and higher. I wanted to make some original music to reflect that.”

In conjunction with the EP, McReynolds is readying to embark on the Red & Green tour, a six-city concert series starting December 1 in Chicago and concluding December 21 in Atlanta. This tour offers fans the opportunity to experience McReynolds’ original Christmas songs live, creating an unforgettable holiday experience.

Adding to this exciting period, McReynolds has signed with Motown Gospel/Capitol Christian Music Group, marking a significant milestone in his career. “We’re thrilled to welcome Jonathan to Motown Gospel/Capitol Christian Music Group,” said the label’s Co-Presidents, Brad O’Donnell, and Hudson Plachy. “Jonathan is a special talent that we’ve admired for some time, and we couldn’t be more excited to be his partner.”

The single marks a bold new chapter in his career, showcasing themes of spirituality, self-discovery, and profound personal growth that promise to captivate listeners on a meaningful level.

Accompanying this release is a visually stunning music video, set to premiere on Vevo, that brings Amrit’s message to life through powerful symbolism. The video features a dynamic interplay between two characters, representing the conscious self and the soul, who embark on a journey of spiritual discovery and connection.

Through this visual narrative, Amrit explores the complex yet beautiful relationship between self-awareness and a higher calling. The video’s imagery, vivid and deeply resonant, serves as a powerful metaphor for the song’s theme, offering an experience that is both artistic and immersive.

This single and its accompanying video highlight Amrit Ghatore’s commitment to meaningful artistry and to creating work that resonates deeply with his audience.

They say that timing is everything.  Well, that time has come for the popular worship band, Fusebox.  Persevere Entertainment Group, INC., is thrilled to announce the return of Fusebox with today’s release of, “You Will” – the band’s first new music in twenty years.  Back at the helm for Fusebox is Dove Award-nominee and founding member, lead vocalist/songwriter, Billy Buchanan.

After backing Grammy Award-winner, Rebecca St. James (along with her brothers, Joel and Luke, of FOR KING + COUNTRY, singing behind her) for many years, Fusebox was eventually signed to Elevate Records (distributed by Capitol CMG) as their flagship artist. 

Fusebox released two rocking worship albums with Lost in Worship in 2002 spawning the hit song, “Every Move I Make”, before following its success up with the 2004 record, Once Again, whose title track was a ‘Top 5’ hit.   Even though “You Will” marks the group’s first new music in two decades, it picks up right where they left off, proclaiming that not only is the band back, but they are sounding better than ever!

Buchanan co-wrote “You Will” with his wife, Jamie. The beautiful ballad serves as a timely reminder of God’s faithfulness. When asked about the highly anticipated new single as well as the band’s extended hiatus and return, Buchanan says, “For the last 20 years, I’ve continued to make my living playing music. I’ve released 12 solo albums.

I’ve also been serving on the worship team at my church, singing, playing acoustic and bass guitar.”  He continues, “I recently attended the Dove Awards and saw a lot of old friends. Surprisingly, many of the musicians who were making music during Fusebox’s heyday are still relevant today. I was really encouraged, and immediately made the decision to put out new Fusebox music”.
