Skillet releases “Ash In The Wind,” the final single from their upcoming album. The group will be releasing their first independent record, REVOLUTION on November 1, 2024
‘Ash In The Wind’ reminds us of a mix of old Skillet and Linkin Park, which I’m a huge fan of. Korey produced it, and it definitely merges live performance with modern recording techniques. –Skillet

REVOLUTION is expected to only extend Skillet’s formidable legacy. As of 2024, the band have received two GRAMMY Award nominations, picked up a Billboard Music Award, and landed three albums in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200.
Selling over 22 million units worldwide with over 24 billion global streams to date, SKILLET have notched multi-platinum, platinum, or gold RIAA certifications for a total of 12 singles and four full-length albums. Their latest RIAA Gold certifications just hit this summer with the tracks “Legendary” and “Stars.” Not to mention, they have regularly attracted 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone, boasting “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time” with the 5x-platinum “Monster.”
Singer/songwriter, worship leader and accomplished pianist Natalie Layne releases “Strong Enough To Surrender.”
Layne calls this track a special one for her personally, saying it’s “about the journey of trust and surrender and repeating that process over and over again.” You can hear “Strong Enough To Surrender” streaming below.
Bethel Music has released a live version of “Even Though I Walk” led by Hannah McClure. “Even Though I Walk (Live),” recorded in Redding, CA, is a powerful declaration that came out of a spontaneous moment in the song “I Belong To Jesus.”
This song will be featured on Bethel Music’s upcoming record, We Must Respond (Live), due out on January 10, 2025.
Following the release of their new live single “Make A Move”, Dreamers releases their new song “Adoration” (DREAM Worship). The song is available on all digital retail and streaming service providers. The song was co-written by Danielle Ng, Jedd See and Lara Fowles and produced by Lawrence Davies and Mark Griffiths.
“Adoration, a song of exaltation, was written out of a desire to learn how to delight in God’s presence and become more like Him. It’s a declaration of commitment to God that extends beyond a moment in worship, but rather, for all our lives.
We were compelled to create a song that would facilitate worship that is pleasing and pure to God, bringing Him the worship He deserves, not for what He can do but for who He is as our King. We pray as people sing the simple prayer of “help me to seek You”, with the Holy Spirit as their guide, they will find a deeper sense of delight and awe in God’s presence.” – Dreamers
Both, “Adoration” and “Make A Move” are a part of an upcoming multi-single release titled The Reason which is set to release on November 1st.
GRAMMY-nominated multi-instrumentalist Crowder releases a new version of his inspirational single “Somebody Prayed” from his fifth No. 1 album ‘The EXILE’ (5.31).
The track is currently top 15 at Christian radio and continues to climb daily. Available now via sixstepsrecords/Capitol CMG, this new version takes a turn into the country lane with the help of friend and fellow artist Dylan Scott. Crowder and Scott’s vocals blend seamlessly, combining uplifting melodies and heartfelt lyrics that highlight the theme of the importance and efficacy of prayer.
“I met Dylan Scott randomly while we were both out on tour. We hit it off, finding so many shared similarities in our love of music and Jesus,” says Crowder. “His voice is so, so good. When he sings, I think, ‘yeah, that’s what I meant!’ I’m so happy and honored he’s on this track.”

Crowder recently earned his fifth Dove Award, winning in the Rock/Contemporary Recorded Song category for his chart-topping single, “Grave Robber.” Co-written with Ben Glover and Jeff Sojka, this powerful anthem conveys the uplifting message that no challenge is too great for God to overcome.
‘The EXILE’ is the second part of a three-album trilogy that started with ‘Milk & Honey,’ which also reached the top of the Billboard Top 200 Christian Charts upon its 2021 release. This genre-defying 12-track collection, produced by the GRAMMY Award-winning duo Glover and Sojka, seamlessly combines rock and traditional bluegrass with modern urban beats.
Crowder is currently on the road with MercyMe as part of the “Together Again… Again Tour.” Additionally, Crowder will headline the “Air1 Tour” in November and will join TobyMac on the “HITS DEEP TOUR: beginning in January.
Seven-time GRAMMY-winner TobyMac has debuted a new song. “Rearview” featuring Juan Winans is now available to download/stream. This song is the second release from an upcoming studio project (release date TBD).
For a lot of us, our past can cast a long shadow. Regret can consume us. My new song “Rearview” featuring Juan Winans is about letting go of a past that can leave us frozen from moving forward. 1 Peter says, “cast all your anxiety on God and He will care for you”.
Heavy days can lead to heavy nights but heavy love can make our burdens light. As a man who has a tendency toward regret, this is what I fight to stand on….God is the King of today AND the King of our rearview. -TobyMac
Drew & Ellie Holcomb are announcing the January 24th release of their new full-length studio album Memory Bank.
The couple, who have pursued their separate and equally successful career paths over the last decade-plus, dedicated time to writing together earlier this year when out on one of their annual You & Me tours. The result is an album that finds these creative partners sharing the spotlight equally, which can be heard on the album’s title track “Memory Bank,” directed by Carl Diebold (Patty Griffin, Loretta Lynn) In addition, Drew & Ellie are announcing their biggest US headline tour to date kicking off on February 5th at the Saenger Theatre in Mobile, AL, and culminating in Nashville, TN at the Ryman Auditorium on May 3rd.
When I was a kid, I was fascinated by road trips and travel. My parents loved to travel and they would pile my sister Clare, and my brothers Jay and Sam in the conversion van and we would hit the road. I visited 47 states before I graduated high school. I was obsessed with travel books like John Steinbeck’s ‘Travels with Charley,’ Kerouac’s ‘On The Road,’ and piles of others.
I think this love of adventure and seeing and experiencing new things and new people was one of the reasons I chose this life of music, and it is certainly one of the reasons Ellie and I got together because we both love to say yes to “putting money in the memory bank.” We may die broke but we will have a great time and see a lot of great things and try our best to live with generous hearts as we go. In the soil of all this, we wrote this song “Memory Bank.” We love it, and we hope it is an anthem for you and yours. – Drew Holcomb
“Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time.” —Jean-Michel Basquiat
Sometimes you write a song that you find yourself wanting to play every time you get in the car. That’s “Memory Bank” for me. We hope to live this song for as long as we’re living. Book the trip. Get lost. Get found. Jump in the ocean. Drive across the country. Take the long way around. Do it all with the people you love, and make the memories run. “Let em shine. Make em fine. Cause we only got so much time.” I hope this song is played on road trips everywhere, and that it decorates the memories you make with the ones you love most. – Ellie Holcomb

After eight years since his last Christmas release, Matt Redman introduces “God The Son,” a new original single for the season. Setting off to pen a song about the incarnation, he was conscious of the familiarity that this story can breed in spite of its depth.
The new song hopes to bring a renewed sense of mystery and wonder to it, as Matt Redman added that, “Songwriting is always about trying to sing a universal theme in a unique way.” With reverence, “God The Son” tells of the stunning thought of the King of Heaven taking on flesh and entering the world in love, even unto death. It invites the church to sing this story, believing that it becomes ever more present to us and alive in us every time.
With this new poignant song, Matt Redman announces an upcoming Christmas worship EP releasing on November 15.
