[Album] One Touch – Jabari Johnson

Gospel artist Jabari Johnson is in what many would call his “winning season” after winning a  Stellar Award, performing “Try Jesus” with Tobe Nwigwe at the BET Awards, and earning his first #1 record on the Billboard Gospel National Airplay Chart for “Fixed Fight.” Johnson’s new album ONE TOUCH will be available Today Friday, February 4th.

Jabari Johnson offers his newest album titled ONE TOUCH. The title track is an infectious and reflective song that recounts the well-known biblical story of the woman with an issue of blood. It cleverly tells the story and then draws the listener in to reflect on their own encounter with Jesus. Johnson’s powerful and gritty voice accompanied by his guitar deliver an ear-grabbing experience and will pierce the hearts and thoughts of those that hear “One Touch”.

In 2021, Jabari Johnson’s popular single of encouragement, “Fixed Fight” earned #1 status on the Billboard Gospel National Airplay Chart – making Johnson’s first #1 single. Jabari Johnson called on songstress Krystal Broussard to assist in delivering a powerful message to listeners and followers of Christ.

“I’m so glad this message is resonating with so many people. No matter who you are, I want you to tell everyone you know to stop stressing. The victory bill has already been signed! Victory was ours before this even started, it’s a fixed fight,” shares Jabari Johnson.

After Ted & Sheri recorded the track, they sent it to their mentor, Donald Lawrence, for his critique.  “When he heard the song, he loved it  and said if he could make a suggestion, it would be to add The Walls Group to it,” Winn says. “I discussed it with Sheri, and she agreed. We reached out to The Walls Group, and they said yes. They  bring the kind of soul, heart, and passion that takes listeners on an emotional journey. Not only do they offer eargasms; they sing from a place of experience that resonates deeply with every listen.”

The Memphis-reared duo of Ted & Sheri first hit the national stage in 2001 with the release of the album, The Healing Starts Right There (Church Howze), which earned them two Stellar Gospel Music Awards. The project featured the fan favorites, “Come Ye Disconsolate,” a remake of Andrae Crouch’s classic “I’ll Be Thinking of You,” and the acapella tune, “Thank Him.” Their 2004 sophomore album, Celebrate, featured the Billboard Top 5 title-cut that was written for them by Donald Lawrence. The cut, “God Will Take Care,” was featured on the platinum-selling project, WOW Gospel 2005. By the end of the decade, they had amicably separated to pursue solo careers.

Sheri went on to solo on the Billboard No. 1 hit, “Encourage Yourself” by Donald Lawrence & the Tri-City Singers in 2007. She followed with two solo albums for EMI Gospel / Motown Gospel that birthed radio singles such as “Shine” and “Faith to Believe.” Her debut set, Renewed (Motown Gospel) earned her a GRAMMY Award nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album in 2009.

Ted launched his own recording label, Teddy’s Jamz, in 2009. His solo debut album, Balance (Teddy’s Jamz), appeared soon after with radio hits such as “God Believes in You,” “Moving Forward,” and the Top Ten smash, “The Lifter.” His 2017 album, Stand in Awe (Teddy’s Jamz), featured four radio singles, including the Top 10 smash, “Grateful,” which featured the dynamic vocals of song stylist,  Maranda Curtis.

In 2021, Ted & Sheri reunited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their first release by partnering with Black Smoke Music Worldwide to release their first album in nearly two decades.

Mississippi-based singer/songwriter Ryan T. Miller, who earned Songwriter of the Year honors in the 18th annual ChristianSongwriting.com competition in 2021, makes his Christian radio debut today when his award-winning single, “Prodigal Child” goes for adds to Christian AC and Christian Country-formatted radio outlets.

“’Prodigal Child’ was written with the knowledge of my own brokenness and the gratitude that comes from the Lord’s gracious love and forgiveness,” Miller shares. “I am always amazed at the depth of the Lord’s love, and how His arms are always waiting. Jesus’ words from the Gospel of Luke still have so much to teach us about how no matter where we are, the Lord is there to welcome us home.”

Casey Combest at Blue Sky Studios produced the single.

Miller, who lives in Madison, Mississippi, is married with three children.

“My faith, my family and my life experience prove to be my greatest companions in my songwriting journey,” he says. “I do not profess to be any good, but I do profess to be a songwriter wanting to get better,” he explains, adding that he has been involved with music his entire life but started getting serious about songwriting during the last few years.

Miller placed first in the 4th quarter section on the ChristianSongwriting.com competition before taking top honors for the entire 2021 awards. The contest, sponsored by CM United, is the longest-running Christian songwriting contest in existence.

Thomas Muglia Makes OCP Debut With ‘I Have A Father’ Available February 25

OCP (Oregon Catholic Press) has welcomed contemporary Christian artist and worship leader, Thomas Muglia to their roster. The 23-year-old Arizona native is preparing to make his label debut with his forthcoming album I Have A Father, slated for release on February 25, 2022. Pre-order for the full-length project is live, and with each pre-order, the listener receives four instant gratis tracks in addition to a bonus song “You’re Not Done” given on the day of album release.

Produced by Paul Moak (Matt Kearney, Third Day, Martha Wainwright, Matthew Mayfield) and recorded in Moak’s iconic studio The Smoakstack in Nashville, Tenn., industry executives have taken note of the American Idol Alumni who has an extensive catalog of over 300 worship songs. I Have A Father will take listeners on the young artist’s very personal prayer journey with each song being a monumental moment in his spiritual walk.

“Recording this album was a songwriter’s dream,” says Muglia. “To come out to Nashville with all these songs and be able to produce them in the way that feels most natural and most authentic. Music is a tool for communication, it’s a way that we can share a message that people otherwise might not be willing to hear. We can take all these musical elements together with lyrics to make a succinct and focused message. When we do that with scripture or with our prayers, it becomes this powerful force, and that’s why I love to create music.”

Born with moderate to severe hearing loss, Muglia grew up in a musical family and quickly learned how to feel, play, and read music at a young age. Under his dad’s leadership in the Church, he began playing and singing for the congregation. Through his teen years, Thomas spent his spare time playing renditions of his favorite pop songs in school talent shows or coffee shops. It wasn’t long after, in Campus Ministry during college, he discovered a passion for honest songwriting and music that speaks to the heart. In 2019, Muglia recorded his first independent album The Return and not long after that, he was sought after by OCP to publish some of his songs, which quickly expanded with him being signed to the publishing company and the creation of I Have A Father.

“The music of Thomas Muglia originates from a faith that is lived and expressed in a way that is mature beyond his years” shares Tom Booth, Associate Director of Contemporary Music at OCP.“ All 11 of these songs were culled from a list of over 30, and honed for months through a joyful, yet painstakingly intentional process that will bear fruit for many years to come. Both the casual listener and the intense worshiper will discover a wellspring of encouragement and insight in both the lyrics and musical arrangements. Plainly said, Thomas Muglia is the real deal.”

I Have A Father will showcase Muglia’s prayerful and heartfelt songwriting combined with powerful melodies and dynamic instrumental textures. His lyrics strive to reflect honestly on all aspects of a relationship with God and the Christian walk of faith.

“I hope this album brings the message forward to someone, so that they can hear it and relate to it. In this case, it’s to be drawn into a relationship with God.”

[Music] Amazing God – Hellen

Hellen is a self-taught singer and songwriter. She grew up listening to her dad playing records on Sunday afternoons; that’s how she fell in love with music. She was so fascinated by the depth of those  golden oldies that it inspired her to start scribbling down her own songs and lyrics.

Hellen has  experimented with all kinds of genres over the years, but it was in Gospel music where she found her  true self and calling as an artist. Music connects her to Jesus Christ, her Lord and Savior.

“I wrote Amazing God in 2021. I had just returned home after recording my debut single, Bread of Life.  Amazing God is my song of repentance for doubting the gift that God has given me, and His call over my life. I am praising God for His Amazing Grace and Mercy, even though I don’t deserve it. I really hope and pray that when people hear this song, they will be revived, and their faith in God will once again be rejuvenated and restored. I pray that they will trust that everything will work together for good. That even though they can’t see it, doesn’t mean that God is not doing it. To believe that everything will evolve in pursuit of what God has spoken over their lives. To walk in confidence with the knowledge that God’s Amazing love for us endures forever.” – Hellen
