The beloved Christian music group, Newsboys, is releasing “He Lives”, the first of multiple digital singles they intend to release in 2023, in anticipation of their latest recording project. Written by Chris McClarney and Church of the City (Franklin, TN).
“He Lives is such a powerful song about the resurrection of our Savior,” says Michael Tait, lead singer. “Having sung it at church while we are home from the road, I knew it was one to include as we put this next project together, and to have it feature our friend and touring mate Adam Agee as he joins the band, it is the perfect song to celebrate this Easter season.”
Newsboys are excited to welcome long-time friend and touring mate Adam Agee to the group. Agee, the founding member of pop-punk band Stellar Kart, before taking the helm of Audio Adrenaline in 2014, has been touring with the band for the last several years as a solo artist and speaker on behalf of Child Fund International, the long-time charity partner with Newsboys.

Agee officially joined the Newsboys in February as they launched their Let The Music Speak Experience which has been attended by sold-out audiences all across the country.

Dwan Hill releases his new single ‘Mansion’, a groove-infused song that showcases Hill’s musical skill and highly creative approach to worship music.
Having always been interested in Jesus’ use of the word “mansion” in the Scriptures and finding out the translation of the original word to be closer to “many rooms” through studying, Dwan Hill chose to use the King James’s description as inspiration and metaphor.
From it, the Nashville-based singer-songwriter created an illustration of the restoration of all things in the new heaven and earth at Christ’s return. The joyous soundscape holds the theological backbone of the songs, bringing listeners to grasp the wonder of Jesus’ return afresh.
“I wanted to bring a fresh, tangible portrayal of [Christ’s] second coming, one that looked forward to the beauty of our renovated world to come and the revelation of Christ’s eternal kingdom, which will truly and literally be heaven on earth,” Hill says. ‘Mansion’ is meant to bring fresh expectation, in the midst of the trauma and catastrophe in the world at-large, for the people of God to sound a clarion call about the hope in eternal life through Christ.
“In no way do I support escapism or a disregard for immediate reality,” Hill concludes, “but I do believe Christ is the present-day answer to the troubles we face, and His imminent return is a future reality in which we should all place our hope.” ‘Mansion’ was co-produced by Kevin Dailey, marking the first time Hill invited someone to produce his music alongside him.
Inspired as a healing prayer following a season of pain and suffering both in his own life and the world at large, acclaimed singer/songwriter and recording artist Jon Shabaglian’s “Symphony of Peace” is now available on streaming platforms.
One of Shabaglian’s most personal tracks to date, the Sam Hart-produced song features recording artist, educator and activist Temitope, along with Psalmist Mission.
A soaring anthem encouraging listeners to be instruments of reconciliation in a divided world, “Symphony of Peace” was written by Shabaglian, Temitope and Hart. The song’s tenderly emotive verses give way to a powerful proclamation of peace showcasing a choir of graduates from Shabaglian’s Psalmist Mission training ministry.
Symphony Of Peace – Jon Shabaglian
“‘Symphony of Peace’ was birthed last year as I was going through a very difficult season and feeling the absence of peace in my life,” Shabaglian shares. “From the moment I stepped into the songwriting session with Sam and Temitope, it was clear that we were kindred souls who shared a deep heart for reconciliation. Three hours later, we had written a song that speaks to healing, growth, and unity. In a time of such evident division in our culture, it was an honor to feel as though God was writing a healing prayer through us that will hopefully inspire others to live as peacemakers reflecting our Lord’s heart as His children.”
“Temitope is of Nigerian descent and was raised to understand the importance of reconciliation, and my grandparents escaped the Armenian genocide in Turkey, so we both have hearts for peace and unity,” Shabaglian adds. “I pray this song will soothe the wounded heart and inject a vision, into even the most broken of relationships, that we would be healers and restorers—a ‘Symphony of Peace.’”
ELEVATION RHYTHM introduces a new song, “You Will Be Saved,” available at all DSPs (listen here). This song and the previously released “PRAISES,” will both appear on the sophomore album, This Is the Gospel, which will release on April 14th. The upcoming release is available for pre-add/pre-save here. The group’s new seven-track collection follows ELEVATION RHYTHM’s first full-length offering, Growing Pains. But unlike their emotionally-focused debut, This Is The Gospel is not only a work of art but a testament to faith.
“I felt this call and this responsibility to say, ‘OK, if the next generation needs a foundation for their faith, what does that foundation look like? What is the Gospel? What are the pillars? What is the truth?,” shares ELEVATION RHYTHM’s lead architect and primary producer, Josh Holiday. “I just knew this next album had to be truth-centered, and I wanted to create music that was going to be foundational for this next generation in their faith journey.”
The new track that dropped today is a straightforward opus and a simple invitation of salvation. In addition to the song being available, the live performance video is available now below.
ELEVATION RHYTHM
Holiday continues, “Knowing Jesus as a Savior is so humbling. I never want to get to a place where I feel like I don’t need saving. I never want to live that lie. This song isn’t just a salvation call for sinners. We all need to be saved. It’s for the lost — for the one — but it’s also to remind the 99, hey, don’t ever think you don’t need a Savior.”
Repentance. Salvation. Sanctification. Wrapped in timeless melodies, these essential tenets of faith are all presented in an elementary manner on This Is The Gospel with ELEVATION RHYTHM declaring: This is what we believe.
ELEVATION RHYTHM continues to hit the road this spring for Lecrae’s “The Final Church Clothes Tour” and on Elevation Nights with their sister collective Elevation Worship and their pastor Steven Furtick. You can find a full list of travel dates for ELEVATION RHYTHM here.

Gospel singer Ejem stirs up an atmosphere of prophetic declaration with a brand song titled “Prophetic” ahead of his upcoming full album release.
The upbeat tempo new song is the title track of his yet-to-be-released new project “Project” which promises to be a blessing to everyone who listens.
The content of the new song encourages prophetic or positive declaration in accordance with the Word of God daily over our lives. One of the notable lyrics of the song declares “I will do well” which clearly defines our position as believers as the head in all things and not the tail.
“These are declarations I constantly say over myself over the years and it continues to have a positive impact on me. As a songwriter and a musician, I believe sharing a song is a good idea, because it will help to sink better in the minds of people and when mixed with faith will definitely manifest.
One other thing I believe is, as Christians, we do not always need a laying of hand from a man of God for a manifestation. Our declarations are equally prophecies with the ability to create things that were not there hitherto”. – Ejem added
The “Prophecy” single and the whole album for that matter was recorded live in Tema. The album had some notable gospel singers such as Alexandra, JOA, Prince Hakeem Matthews, Philip Aikins, Nana Egyin Boadu, and Dominic Kyere.
According to Ejem, these individuals featured great songs with the potential of being a blessing to many people across nations.

Lola Omobaba presents a beautiful worship song titled “Lamb Upon The Throne.”The song speaks about worshiping the Lamb who sits upon the throne and entreats the listener to ascribe all the glory and honor to the King of kings and Lord of lords.
In her words: “I received the inspiration for this worship song whilst driving to my place of work. I was worshiping God and suddenly the lyrics came to me.
I quickly picked up my phone to record it and while recording the chorus, the verse of the song was released fresh from the throne room of grace and I started visualizing how heaven will look when we appear before the King of kings to worship Him with the 24 elders and the angels all day and night.
“My award-winning producer, Amb. Wole Oni was able to arrange the song and gave it a finishing touch. “I pray you to get stirred to worship God as you listen to the song. God bless you!”
