In anticipation of the forthcoming album, Passion released a new song, “The Lord Will Provide,” led by Landon Wolfe and written by Brett Younker, Jess Cates, and Chris Davenport.

Since its release, the song has had more than 1.7M global streams and was the No. 1 song on Amazon’s Worship Now playlist for six weeks.
“Call on Heaven is the sound of a generation desperate to see Heaven’s reality of ceaseless praise become the reality of Earth,” shares Passion’s Kristian Stanfill. “What we experienced at Passion 2024 marked all of us forever. We’ll never forget the glimpse of God’s holiness, the weight of His glory, or the sound of His people singing, ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.’ God indwells in this recording and we pray for a Spirit of wisdom and revelation to follow wherever these songs go. To God be the Glory!”
For more than two decades, the Passion movement has gathered students and leaders from across the nation and world to begin the new year with a singular purpose of glorifying God and uniting in worship, prayer, and spiritual awakening.

Available today alongside an official music video, “Checking In” is a fitting tribute to vivid memories, bittersweet regret, and the love between a parent and a child, as portrayed in the upcoming theatrical biopic that will be released in theaters nationwide on April 26 via LIONSGATE.
Written by Michael Farren, Kenneth Cooper Hart, and Garrett Jacobs; and produced by Ben Glover, “Checking In” unites the duo with ACM/CMA award winner Lee Brice for a bonafide country song that soundtracks scenes from “UNSUNG HERO,” which find patriarch David Smallbone wrestling with guilt and remorse after his father’s unexpected death. Putting language around real life, “Checking In” helps define the feelings that inevitably arise when we lose a loved one.

“Here’s the backstory: our label-mate Lee Brice had found himself struck by the powerful lyrics of a song titled ‘Checking In,’ and placed the song on hold,” says for KING + COUNTRY. “The creative spark ignited when we also stumbled across the song and were captivated by the sentiment behind it.
We were working on the ‘Inspired By’ record for our film ‘UNSUNG HERO’ at the time, which circles around family, and thought, ‘What if we worked on this together? Yes, it’s country song, but we do live in Nashville, and have the word ‘country’ in our band name…’ And just like that, ‘Checking In’ was born, a testament to heartfelt songwriting, and magic that happens when diverse musical worlds collide.”
Adds Brice, “I’ve been a fan of for KING + COUNTRY since I first heard them. I initially heard ‘Checking In’ a couple years ago and immediately put it on hold. Ironically, Joel and Luke heard this song through a mutual friend and wanted to cut it. Our worlds came together, and it was an honor to be asked to join them on a track for their upcoming film. Any time someone asks for you to be a part of telling their story, it is truly humbling, and I hope everyone digs the song and goes to see this incredible journey on the big screen.”
“Checking In (Feat. Lee Brice)” follows on the heels of for KING + COUNTRY’s re-imagined Michael W. Smith classic hit song, “Place In This World,” the premiere track from their “inspired-by” album that features Smith himself. Fans can anticipate additional singles to drop from the duo this year leading up to their official soundtrack release which boasts several other A-list collaborations.
In addition to their new music, the duo is also nominated for a 2024 Grammy Award with multi-Platinum recording artist Jordin Sparks for their song, “LOVE ME LIKE I AM.” Their family biopic and Joel Smallbone’s directorial debut film, “UNSUNG HERO”, will release in theaters nationwide on April 26.

PRE-ORDER: “REBEL”
To offer a glimpse of the forthcoming album, Wilson releases a new song titled “God & Country” today. Co-penned with Jeff Pardo, Matthew West and Trannie Anderson, the track showcases both sides of Wilson as an artist and the faith-infused Country that defines REBEL. Her commanding vocals lead the way as she revists the Kentucky roots that shaped her identity, from church pews and Sunday morning choirs, to mud tires and Friday night lights, Wilson shares what it’s like to grow up in the heart of the heartland. “I’ve got a good life down here, but a better one waiting up above me,” she boldly declares.
“I can’t wait for everyone to hear these brand new songs on April 19,” shares Wilson. “I’ve been working so hard over the past 15 months to write these songs, record them and get them into the world! I was raised on two things: the love of God and the love of all things Country. That’s what fuels the music I make and that’s what you’ll hear more of on REBEL. I’m just so excited we are this close to releasing the record!”
In addition to “God & Country” and her upcoming record, Wilson has been making waves with her current Country radio single, “Rain In The Rearview,” co-written with Matthew West, Jaren Johnston and Zach Kale. The transformative music video for the track exclusively debuted on CMT/Paramount Times Square billboards, CMT, CMT Music and CMT.comlast Friday, just days after Wilson was revealed as a member of the coveted 2024 CMT Next Women of Country class. Meanwhile, “Strong” continues to stand firm at Christian radio – reaching the Top 15 at Billboard Christian Airplay and Mediabase Audience charts and climbing each week – marking two simultaneous radio singles for the “specially gifted” (The Tennessean) artist.
Ever since embarking on her new journey in September with REBEL (The Beginning),praise has poured in for the groundbreaking new venture. MusicRow underscores her vocal prowess stating “she’s got the goods” while Billboard highlights her “ceiling-scraping vocal capabilities” and Holler proclaims it “clearly outlines Wilson’s new Country-leaning mission statement.”
Adding to her list of accolades, Wilson was also tapped as one of Spotify’s Hot Country Artists to Watch 2024, further solidifying her rising status from Music Mayhem, Pandora and more. Wilson will continue to share her new music on the road as she captivates cities nationwide as direct support on Scotty McCreery’s Cab In A Solo Tour. Come summer, Wilson will grace the stages of both Country and Christian music’s most sought after festivals such as Tortuga Festival, Big As Texas Fest, Country Concert, Alive Music Festival and Kingdom Bound.
ELEVATION RHYTHM and FORREST FRANK have collaborated to release “PRAISES (remix)” available today. The release is accompanied by a music video that is available now on YouTube (link below).
“It’s been really exciting to see how our listeners have connected with PRAISES over the past year,” states Davide Mutendji of ELEVATION RHYTHM. “It’s now one of our favorite songs to do live because of its fun energy and declarative lyrics! It’s turned into an anthem for anyone who refuses to let the world steal their ability to praise!”
“After sharing ELEVATION RHYTHM’s original version on my Instagram story, Josh Holiday reached out asking if I wanted to attempt a remix,” shares Forrest Frank. “I said YES & immediately heard in my head how I wanted it to feel: beachy, bouncy, and a little more resolution with the chord progression. I produced what I was hearing and nearly freestyled the verse in one take. Josh took what I sent and added depth/sauce that sent it to the finish line. I love how it sounds and am so stoked to finally have it out!”
The original version of “PRAISES” is from the 2023 release, This Is The Gospel, which is the group’s sophomore album. Birthed out of the church’s high-energy Wednesday night youth gatherings, ELEVATION RHYTHM is a group made up of a revolving reserve of diverse songwriters, creatives, and guest artists.
ELEVATION RHYTHM will be on tour for Elevation Nights 2024 starting next month with their sister collective Elevation Worship and Pastor Steven Furtick.
YWAM Kona Music is the worship team and soundtrack for this heart-fire movement located in Kona, Hawaii. The birth of their newest release, “Missionary Anthem” by Hannah and Seth Yates of YWAM Kona Music is a story of self-discovery and obedience.
Hannah found herself longing for an obedient life over an adventurous one. During a quiet solitary moment by a dying fire in an empty living room, her realization ignited the lyrics of the chorus, “For the Lamb has conquered, I will follow Him, to the ends of the earth, I will follow Him.”
As the words flowed, the fire next to her rekindled, symbolizing a renewed passion for her missionary life. Through “Missionary Anthem”, Hannah and Seth hope to bring a message of purpose and urgency to the Church. They say, “Songs about the Great Commission can inspire the body of Christ, connecting hearts to Jesus on the Cross, the power of His blood, and the hope that all nations have in Him.”
“Missionary Anthem” is a testament to obedience. It’s a reminder of our duty to follow the Lamb no matter where He leads. It’s an anthem reminding us that we are all part of a greater mission, and that together, we can bring hope to every corner of the world.
Dubai based Music Minister, Ikenna Onyebuchi Okafor is out with a new single titled “Sanctuary”.
Sanctuary is a remix of beautiful and inspiring song that has become a favourite among Christians all over the world. The original song was written by John W. Thompson and Randy Scruggs and was made popular by the Vineyard Worship Movement.
The inspiration for this remix came from a quest to be pure. Purity is the desire of my heart. It most certainly should be, as purity or holiness is in fact the desire of a true believer. Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” The attitude of the redeemed is a hunger and thirst for righteousness. It is this initial hunger that first drives them to Jesus for salvation. It is the continual hunger even after salvation that causes a true believer to long for a life of purity.
