HGHTS & Sajan Nauriyal Team Up To Release “Don’t Be Afraid”

As HGHTS leads up to the release of his upcoming album Hiding Place, set to release on July 21st, he teams up with Washington pop artist Sajan Nauriyal to release a new song “Don’t Be Afraid.”  The song was produced by HGHTS and co-written with Sajan Nauriyal.  The song is available today on all digital service providers via DREAM Records.

“Don’t Be Afraid is a special song to me because since I can remember I’ve been afraid of the future. I constantly worry about tomorrow even though I was raised to trust God in all things that are beyond my control. The chorus of this song is what I’ve heard God say to me on many occasions. The words don’t be afraid are repeated many times throughout the song.

But for me those words don’t always sink in. Sometimes I need to hear the same thing over and over again before I can believe it. This song expresses my need for repetition both lyrically and sonically, while at the same time showing the feeling of peace when I finally allow His words to fill my heart. Working with my good friend Sajan was a blast.

He always adds so much to the songs he works on. I hope this song brings peace to anyone who struggles with fear.” – HGHTS

Village Lights Share “Here Is Our Hallelujah (Live)”

Here Is Our Hallelujah,” initially released on Village Lights’s debut album in 2021, is now reintroduced as a live version featuring their community. The single is a worshipful song growing from beautiful simplicity to a full-fledged anthem with a communal pattern of echoing the praises being sung.

The central message displayed in the song’s title truly reflects a collective “hallelujah”, meaning “praise the Lord.” “Music is always best when made in a community,” shares multiple GRAMMY-nominated worship leader Matt Maher, who mentors the group. “This requires such a level of trust. Every great artist knows this fundamental truth. Art is something best shared.

I love this group and their willingness to include so many in their journey of creativity. I am honored to help them as a producer bring this treatment of the end of the liturgical year into a collective work of song for the Church and the pilgrimage of the believer.” The song carries Village Lights’s heartbeat of unity, inclusivity, and reconciliation wrapped in worshipful devotion.

Seeing themselves as more than a band, but rather a movement for those who seek justice in our world and Church, Village Lights was birthed from the relationship of three independent artists who often found themselves leading worship together at youth conferences and discovering a shared desire to create more modern worship music for more liturgical church spaces.

Luke Wareham Releases First Live EP

Luke Wareham’s highly anticipated new live EP is out on the 23rd of June. The EP includes live versions of ‘Shadows, Honour You Lord, Refuge and Therefore I Know’. Luke says ‘making the new live EP has been great fun, with so many amazing people involved and I cannot wait for everyone to hear the songs.

I have been writing these songs over the past year (they have been previously released as studio recordings) and some really kind people have supported me in this new live recording’.

When speaking about the new live EP, Luke says, ‘Our hope in recording these songs is that they will help people fix their eyes on Jesus. The evening of worship where we recorded these songs was a special time when freedom was released in the room as we gazed at Jesus.

As we recorded the songs from the beginning we had 2 Corinthians 4:18 in mind and it has really spoken to me this year. It says ‘So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

One of Luke’s favorite songs on the new release is ‘Therefore I Know’ which he wrote with Sarah Téibo and Rachel Walker Mason. The song is an outpouring of their hearts for each of us to know the hope we have in Jesus. Luke says ‘it was so great to write with Sarah and Rachel they are both great songwriters and encouragers. As we wrote this song we hoped that through it people will grow closer to God and have confidence in their identity in Him.

‘Luke Wareham – Live EP’ is available to stream and download on all music platforms and the brand new official music videos from the night are up on YouTube. The chords to the song are available to download via SongSelect.
