Curb Records band We Are Messengers expands their fourth studio project to 19 tracks on Where The Joy Is (Deluxe).

The extended set adds new originals like hopeful singalong “I See A Light,” upbeat confessional “Matter To You,” comforting balm “Turn Around” and moving post-grief ballad “I’ll Think About You.”

Moreover, collaborations with KB, Matt Maher and Cochren & Co.; a few fresh remixes — including a brand new Gregatron remix of radio single “A Thousand Times” — and love song “Somewhere In Her Dreams” round out the complete collection, giving We Are Messengers even more material to pull from as the group continues its massive headlining tour in support of the LP.

“Remember friends, joy is not a place, it’s a disposition; and a grateful heart doesn’t need convincing that God is good,” We Are Messengers frontman Darren Mulligan shares of the record’s overarching theme, borrowing lyrics from the project’s title cut.

Thankful to be a daughter of the Sovereign King who has a plan greater and sweeter than I could ever dream. Even with all the ups and downs, He uses it for good to get me where He wants me. God is the only reason this broken, messy, goofy human can still be alive and useful and made beautiful in Christ. –Purcell

Rachel Purcell Releases “Mysterious Ways”

Purcell signed an exclusive, worldwide recording and publishing contract with Centricity Music last year following a season of major label success that included collaborations with Blessing Offor, Reba McEntire, Rascal Flatts and Trisha Yearwood. The new music aligns with her most authentic self, showcasing her unwavering faith.

“Light As A Feather (Good Shepherd),” the autobiographical new single from Florida-based singer/songwriter and SEU Worship alum Jenn Chenoweth, is now available on streaming platforms. Penned by Chenoweth and JJ Hasulube and produced by Seth Ready (Seth & Nirva), the track pulses with vibrancy, its carefree, contagious groove celebrating the freedom found in total surrender to Christ.

A synth-driven pop anthem, “Light As A Feather (Good Shepherd)” is Chenoweth’s heartfelt expression of gratitude following a challenging season that reshaped her relationship with the Lord. Diagnosed with TMJ disorder in 2019, a condition affecting her mouth and jaw, Chenoweth was riddled with chronic pain as she endured therapies and surgical procedures that threatened her ability to sing.

Her health battle deepened her dependence on God, and Chenoweth ultimately learned to embrace her true identity—not as a singer or songwriter—but as His child. This newfound freedom in Christ stokes a heart of grateful submission as Chenoweth sings, “When the burden’s too heavy to hold/You will keep me, You won’t let me fold/You wanna do it for me; I’ll let You do it for me.”

“This song is about letting go of the burdens we are not meant to carry,” she states. “A few years ago, I was suffering through chronic jaw pain from TMJ disorder and experienced a deep depression. The only thing that seemed to give me any peace was reading Psalm 23 and Galatians 5. I have known God my whole life, and yet I hadn’t really thought of Him as my Shepherd since I was a child.

I lived in fear during that long and difficult season, but after taking inventory of my life I realized I had been carrying so many things I didn’t need to carry. It was like opening a heavy bag I’ve held for years and seeing that it was full of bricks.”

“‘Light As A Feather (Good Shepherd)’ starts with a lot of questions because that’s where I was—and where I still find myself sometimes,” Chenoweth continues. “But as it builds, the Truth and clarity that come from being led and loved by our Good Shepherd give us a freedom and a lightness that isn’t dictated by circumstance. This is a peace that passes understanding. When I put down the things Christ already died for, I am met with the freedom that makes me light as a feather.”

She concludes, “I hope everyone who hears the song—especially those struggling with anxiety, depression, or chronic pain—will be led to greener pastures and still waters and embrace the freedom that results from surrendering control to the Lord. As sheep, we are dirty and messy, but we don’t have to clean up our mess before coming to our Shepherd because Jesus leaves the 99 to rescue the one.”

“Light As A Feather (Good Shepherd)” follows Chenoweth’s February debut single, “Truth Comes Running,” and March’s “I’m Learning,” as the third track from her inaugural EP, which is slated for release later this year.

Six-time Grammy-winning artist Amy Grant has recorded an exclusive and original song, “Home (Lyana’s Song),” an intimate and powerful ballad, as part of the upcoming audiobook for the supernatural thriller Caretaker by R.J. Halbert (both available May 7, 2025 via Novus Press Works).

With two versions, an alternate/acoustic track for the audiobook, and another recorded at the legendary Blackbird Studios in Nashville, each were produced by Emmy and Grammy award-winning producer Jason Halbert. Amy Grant will join actor Erick Avari and R.J. Halbert on The Kelly Clarkson Show May 7th to perform the song amidst the book’s release.

“Home (Lyana’s Song)” is written from the perspective of Lyana Keane, a central character in Caretaker, whom Amy Grant also voices in the full-cast audiobook adaptation. The track captures Lyana’s longing, resilience, and spiritual anchoring in a world filled with loss, mystery, and redemption.

“This song came straight from the heart of Lyana,” said Amy Grant. “It was an honor to help bring her story to life, both through voice and song. ‘Home’ is about that place beyond grief, where memory, love, and eternity meet.”

This moving piece will be featured exclusively as part of the Caretaker audiobook experience, and features a stellar ensemble cast to join Amy Grant, including narrator Henry Ian Cusick, Erick Avari, Kelly Clarkson, Brandon Engman, Charles Esten, Hayley Orrantia, and Michael Shanks.  The audiobook is enhanced with an original score by Joseph Trapanese including full sound design, and foley effects.

Producer Jason Halbert adds, “There was something deeply personal about crafting this song with Amy. It grew naturally from the world we created in Caretaker, and we knew it had to be more than a soundtrack—it had to reflect the emotional journey at the heart of the story.”

“Home (Lyana’s Song)” will be available on all major streaming platforms on May 7th, and as a featured track in the Caretaker audiobook.

Caretaker has already received widespread acclaim, earning prestigious honors including most recently named a finlist for the Independint Book Publishers Association’s coveted Bill Fisher Award.  Previously the book has garnered the Global Book Award, Amazon Best Seller status, and recognition from the International Book Awards, Literary Global Book Awards, Next Best Read, and more.

Available at www.rjhalbert.com on May 7th, 2025, and on major audiobook platforms Summer 2025, this release promises to deliver an immersive and unforgettable journey into the world of “Caretaker.”
