Chris Llewellyn, the Irish singer/songwriter and founding member of the platinum-selling worship band Rend Collective, debuts his first solo single today. The title track is the first song to drop from his upcoming project, Honest, releasing on September 1st with Capitol Christian Music Group.

True to his Celtic roots, Chris Llewellyn’s songs explore life through a lens of honest and inquisitive faith. Inspired by many known storytellers from his homeland such as Van Morrison, Glen Hansard, Foy Vance, and U2, Llewellyn has also honed in on his desire to musically and lyrically press forward into alternative pop, Americana, as well as live looping performances.

“This album is me reading my diary to you out loud – no filter,” he explains. “It’s full of hope and doubt, hurt feelings and conflict, yet, ultimately, faith. Not a shiny airbrushed faith, but something weathered, tested, and durable. It’s my hope that by ‘oversharing’ I can offer you a permission slip to ask your own bold questions. Because my story, and I believe the story of the Bible, is that the only kind of faith worth having comes when we take the risk of being honest.”

Chris Llewellyn is now based in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife Gabriella, and their three children.

Today worship leader and songwriter Tiffany Hudson releases her newest song, “Obey,” from her upcoming solo debut album Hidden Here (Elevation Worship Records). Her solo debut will release on July 21st .

“Growing up I often thought I knew the ‘right way’ to follow Jesus by following a list of rules; however, things completely changed for me the moment it all clicked when God showed me what obedience actually looked like,” shares Tiffany Hudson on the inspiration for her new song.

“We are called to obedience, not out of obligation, but rather, obedience is driven by love. I often think God’s love language is obedience. His love leads me to want to obey him. The more I fall in love with Him, the more I desire to keep his commands.”

DAYTON, OH – July 7, 2023 – Independent singer, songwriter, and guitarist Pete Price has released his newest single and lyric video, “Old Movies and You” from his acclaimed album, “Department of the Interior.” The heartfelt single lyrically encapsulates the unbreakable bond of love and devotion between a couple, despite life’s struggles.

In Pete’s own words, “My inspiration in writing this song was my wife and her ongoing health issues. As she slowly recovered, I thought more and more about how much she meant to me and how empty I’d be without her.

I vowed to make a better effort to do the things she wanted to do and to show her how much I love her. The song could have just as easily been about the end of a romantic relationship.

I’ve known that as well and the feelings can be devastating. An attitude of appreciation can go a long way in strengthening a relationship. When I introduce the song, I say, ‘Always tell that special someone how much you love them.’”

“Old Movies and You” is available now on all major streaming platforms. Fans can listen to the single and learn more about Pete Price at his official website: http://www.petepricemusic.com.

Today (July 7), Cory Asbury releases new music with “Kind.”

Today, multi-platinum-selling, Grammy Award Nominee Cory Asbury has released new music for the first time in 3 years via BEC Recordings. The powerful track, “Kind,” speaks directly to the human experience and the vulnerability of truly living. It is a natural progression for Asbury, who has already made a name for himself for his raw and cutting lyrics that dive headfirst into the spaces of life that many in his industry shy away from. 

” Kind” grapples with what it means to indeed be human,” shares Asbury. “Loss, failure, and grace are what make life painfully beautiful. All the ups and downs create a way for forgiveness and healing – a winding path to kindness. I hope this message resonates with others who may be battling their struggles and I pray they find comfort knowing they are not alone.”

Today (July 7), KB drops “Glory 2 Glory” from His Glory Alone II, due Aug 11.

Coming off the heels of a successful book launch, Dove-Award-winning and Billboard chart-topping rapper KB has announced his highly-anticipated fifth studio album, His Glory Alone II (Sony’s RCAI/Provident Entertainment) set to drop on August 11 and fans can pre-save the album now. In support of the album, the Southside Rabbi podcast co-host surprised fans with the first single from the forthcoming project, “Glory 2 Glory,” a hip-hop spin on the Fred Hammond gospel classic, available now.

“A lot of us grew up singing ‘Glory To Glory To Glory’ by Fred Hammond; It was a charismatic cross-cultural hit,” explains KB. “The song itself is a good record to summarize what this album is about. The first album His Glory Alone was Glory to God and this album is Glory 2 Glory.

There is always more when you are talking about God. He is infinitely inspiring, forgiving, and loving, every aspect of God is infinite and deeper. You never get to the top of the ladder, it just gets more beautiful. When we get things in this life that are glorious like success, even those pale in comparison to Jesus and I would give up all of those for Jesus.”

“Glory 2 Glory” is one of 16 tracks on His Glory Alone II, many of which listeners will hear music influences from not just hip hop, but gospel, afro-beats, and soul with a few worshipful ballads in between. Serving as the sequel to his previous record released in 2020, KB partnered up with producers WEARETHEGOOD, Scootie Wop, and Cardec Drums to deliver a full-length project that expresses the infiniteness of God.

Additionally, KB peels back the layers of his own heart and journey, facing childhood trauma, abandonment, confusion, and doubt with unapologetic transparency.

“I never talked about my life like this on a record,” shares KB. “When you listen to it, I hope you hear and understand the passion of a broken, but committed man. Maybe you can see yourself in this man. That’s who I am. I’m a son whose wounds are being healed as a father. I’m a husband who is serious about leading in my household. I’m an institution builder who cares about helping people.”
