“This album has felt so much bigger than me, it’s just felt like a community,”  Frank said on Instagram last week, “so I thought it would be cool if I were to write ya’lls names on the CHILD OF GOD cover, and that will become the deluxe album cover.”  Frank asked fans to comment with their first and last name, and he hand drew as many of them as possible on the cover himself.

Following the success of Frank’s genre-debut GOD IS GOOD EP, which reached Top 5 on the Top Christian Albums chart, his first full-length project, CHILD OF GOD hit No.1 on the iTunes All Genres chart, and has held the No.1 spot on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart for 13 weeks, continuing to make it the biggest Christian album debut of the year.

Earlier this month Frank won his first-ever GMA Dove Awards for New Artist of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year with his hit “GOOD DAY,” and his latest radio single, “NEVER GET USED TO THIS” featuring JVKE has grown quickly at Christian radio. The song is already Top 25 on both the Billboard and Mediabase Christian AC charts with over 1.9M in weekly audience and 38 stations on including KLOVE network.

In addition to album sales and radio hits, the momentum Frank has generated with his music is explained in the massive and continued growth on his socials, with a base that has boomed to nearly 5 million fans on Instagram, YouTube, X and TikTok alone, and nearly 6 million Spotify monthly listeners.

multi-Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling artist Tauren Wells unveils “Making Room,” a worshipful new anthem about setting aside everything else to focus on God’s presence. Marking the first single from his forthcoming 2025 album, “Making Room” sets the tone for an exciting new chapter, with more music on the horizon.

Mama Tee teams up with Emmanuel Awipi and rising star Tina Philips to deliver their latest song, “Psalm 34.” 

Mama Tee shares, “Whenever I read Psalm 34, I envision it as a song. The words leap out at me—words that declare God’s goodness, highlight His ability to deliver us from challenges, and invite us to taste and see that the Lord is good. As we approach the end of this year, I want to take a moment to thank God for His goodness in our lives!”

When Emmanuel Awipi started working on the track and infused it with Latin vibes, I instantly fell in love with it as it captured the tone I wanted to convey. 

Working with rising star Tina Philips was an amazing experience. Her vocal performance was exceptional, perfectly embodying the celebratory emotions we aimed to express.

UK based Music Minister, Austin Omozeje and The Blend have released a brand new single titled “Grace” (Revamped).

This feel good vibe titled “Grace” was originally written by Rev. Victor Atenaga. The song is about the Grace of God (unmerited) favor that brings blessing and joy. According to John, God’s covenant faithfulness found ultimate expression in his sending of his one-of-a-kind Son, Jesus Christ. The contrast is not that the Mosaic law was bad and Jesus is good.

Rather, both the giving of the law and the coming of Jesus Christ mark decisive events in the history of salvation. In the law, God graciously revealed his character and righteous requirements to the nation of Israel. Jesus, however, marked the final, definitive revelation of God’s grace and truth. He was superior to Abraham (John 8:53), Jacob (John 4:12), and Moses (John 5:46–47; John 9:28).

Discover God’s riches for our lives through the grace He has given us as a free gift. The greatest gift of all is forgiveness of our sins through salvation in Jesus Christ. Because of the grace God gives us, we are able to then show grace to others as we seek to follow Jesus.

Shweta Harve’s latest single, “Why So Busy?” featuring Dario Cei, arrives as an incisive commentary on modern life’s relentless pace, pushing listeners to question the virtue of perpetual busyness. With its melodic hook and introspective lyrics, this track blends wistfulness with a dose of clarity, urging a reevaluation of what we trade away in our chase for productivity.

Musically, “Why So Busy?” stands out for its emotionally resonant indie style. Harve’s vocals carry a gentle urgency that complements the track’s lyrical weight, balancing introspection with a deceptively catchy rhythm. Dario Cei’s piano composition underpins the song with a haunting calmness that mirrors the reflective nature of the lyrics.

The repetition of phrases like “I’m too busy” and “life is in a tizzy” anchors the message in a world so overstimulated it risks emotional numbness. In this context, Harve and Cei’s dynamic vocal interplay serves as a stark contrast—one singer expressing the mounting pressure to keep up, while the other voices the consequences of this frenzied lifestyle.

In the lyrics, Harve’s wordplay suggests a subtle critique of our culture’s obsession with busyness as a form of self-worth. Lines like “Not a badge of honor” and “Is it worth being sickly?” question the toll of constant hustle and serve as a reminder that busyness should not replace genuine connection and self-care.

Harve’s ability to craft these themes into memorable lyrics gives “Why So Busy?” a broad appeal, resonating with anyone who feels stretched too thin in an era where the lines between personal time and productivity are blurred.

The accompanying music video captures this disconnection poignantly. Through a simple video call setup, Harve and Cei bring to life two characters separated not by physical distance but by emotional unavailability—a modern depiction of how tech-enabled connectivity sometimes leaves us more isolated. This visual metaphor reinforces the song’s central question, drawing viewers to reflect on how technology shapes, and often diminishes, our relationships.

Harve’s own experiences lend the track a palpable authenticity. Having lost her mother in 2022, her plea to “learn to be present in any given moment” feels especially heartfelt, reminding us that time’s passing is indifferent to our plans and obligations. 

For fans of reflective indie rock and thought-provoking lyrics, “Why So Busy?” delivers a message as memorable as it is timely. It pairs beautifully with the influence of bands like U2 and The Cranberries, while offering something distinctively personal to Harve’s own journey.

Alex Bukasa, a powerful worship leader, recording artist, and songwriter based in the United States has released the live music video “This is your moment”.

The song “This is your moment” addresses listeners who may be desiring to see more from God, encouraging them to surrender and allow the Holy Spirit to have His way in our lives. Its lyrics are infused with messages of hope, faith, urging believers to make more room for the Holy Ghost to reveal Himself and hold us.

The statement “This is your moment” serves as both a declaration and an invitation, reminding the audience that everything changes when He comes and moves. Whenever the Spirit breathes upon us situations change drastically.

Let us let Him have His moment and do only what Himself can do!
