‘Yahweh’ is the new single from Texas-based band LEELAND. After introducing their upcoming album, ‘The City of God’, with four boundary-pushing singles, they now introduce a highly congregational, anthemic, and expansive track.

The song was inspired by Edwin Hatch’s 1878 hymn “Breath Of God”. The simplicity of this sung prayer was one that LEELAND resonated with, “Though having seen and done much in the past 17 years, I still find myself coming back to Jesus and asking for His breath again and again,” frontman Leeland Mooring says.

‘Yahweh’ follows the band’s passion for theologically charged songs and was inspired by their diving deep into the first and oldest name revealing the Lord in the Scriptures: Yahweh. The original spelling shows the words without vowels – YHWH – as a reminder of the utter holiness of our God.

It also mimics breathing, the most basic need for human life, which LEELAND expounds on in a worshipful call to praise the God who sustains our lives. “The very act of breathing is speaking God’s name. The beauty of that is, God breathed into creation so that we could breathe out His name,” Mooring adds.

LEELAND hope their new single becomes a song that inspires the Church to come to the altar again, “To that place of prayer and encounter with the same God who breathed into the dirt and said, ‘it is good’,” Mooring concludes. ‘Yahweh’ is an intricate track, making space for the Church to join their voice and God-breathed worship back unto him.

“More In Love” is available now.

Taking “Center Stage” alongside some of Christian music’s leading artists during this year’s Winter Jam Tour, chart-topping singer/songwriter Sean BE bows his aptly-titled latest single today. A high-energy pop anthem, “Center Stage” has quickly become a fan favorite in concert and is now available on streaming platforms.

Encouraging listeners to give Jesus the spotlight in their lives, “Center Stage” was penned by Sean BE, Kyle Williams and Tony Wood. Produced by Williams, the WieRok Entertainment release proclaims, “Let Your spotlight show/Everywhere I go/Let the way I live/Let the whole world know/You’re center stage/Take center stage.”

“The song was inspired by a conversation I had with a student when I was a youth leader,” Sean BE shares. “The young man said, ‘You didn’t just tell me how to live, you showed me.’ That opened my eyes to realize, whether we know it or not, that people are always watching. Even when they don’t LISTEN, we have an incredible opportunity to SHOW them the love that God shows us.”

“I love performing ‘Center Stage’ live,” he adds. “By the time that first chorus drops, people have their lights in the air listening to and agreeing with the message. It’s such an awesome moment to share with the audience in each city, and it’s my favorite part of my Winter Jam set.”

Recently nominated for “The Next Big Thing” Award in NewReleaseToday.com’s fan-driven “The 11th Annual We Love Christian Music Awards,” Sean BE is currently performing to audiences around the country on Winter Jam. One of Christian music’s biggest annual outings, this year’s 40-city tour is headlined by We The Kingdom, Jeremy Camp, Andy Mineo and Anne Wilson, among others, with Sean BE, Thrive Worship and Renee leading the tour’s Pre-Jam Party.

“I’m so thankful for the opportunity to be part of Winter Jam,” Sean BE says. “A highlight of the tour for me has been speaking with and praying over youth leaders from each city before the show. That’s been particularly special because I share their hearts for student ministry. I’ve also loved meeting new friends at the end of every concert. When people stop at my table and share their stories, they bring so much excitement.”

“If You Say Go (We Wait For You)”, the second single from the upcoming Vineyard Worship EP, Sing Together – Live from Urbana, is a statement of obedience and faith, and a corporate declaration of trust in the living God.

Recorded live with the congregation at the Vineyard Church of Central Illinois in Urbana, “If You Say Go (We Wait For You)” features Vineyard worship leader, Alexandria Faison (“I Speak Jesus”, “Kyrie Eleison”).

Look for the full “Sing Together – Live from Urbana EP” releasing March 10th.

Vineyard Worship Shares Newest Monthly Single

Following their recently released track “Chariots”, Freedom Church is proud to announce the release of their next live song titled “Purify” available on DREAM Worship.  Last year, the group recorded a live performance album during their men’s worship evening which culminated in an 11-song live recording that is set to release on February 24th. 

“Purify” was produced by George Owen Downes, Dave Thomas, Sam Taylor, and Luke Collins and co-written by George Owen Downes and Dave Thomas.

Purify came out of a private moment between me and God. I know I need more of who He is and less of me so this song was my prayer, my cry for more of that. I shared it with the guys and it resonated as a prayer we all needed and wanted to express. Finishing in a defiant call to live a life worthy of Him, this song captures who we want to be in Jesus”- Dan Callan, Freedom Church

In celebration of today’s release, the group will debut their live video performance on the Dream Label Group YouTube channel today at 10 am Pacific / 1 pm Eastern.

Brad Perry, a highly decorated former NASA rocket scientist, and his wife, Joanie Perry, a dedicated educator—together known professionally as Alabaster Grace—have unveiled their new single, “Let Your Fire Fall,” today, February 10, 2023, from Westar Media Group.

For the follow-up to their most recent single, “Alleluia, Christ is Born!,” the duo called upon the production talents of Corey Pavlosky, founder of Pipe Dream Studios. Let Your Fire Fallthe three worked diligently to create this acoustic rendering of the song.

“Mixing ‘Let Your Fire Fall’ was a great experience!” says Pavlosky, “Bringing out the rhythmic drive and melodic elements were the primary goals for me in the mixing process. The song speaks for itself with the unique Latin flair and catchy chorus melody.”

Joanie notes that while the song had been in the Alabaster Grace inventory for quite a while, it took on a completely new character once they revisited it.

“‘Let Your Fire Fall’ started out almost like a classic rock song,” she recalls. “But after we pulled it out and worked on it, the whole vibe changed. It is now driven by multiple acoustic guitars arranged and played by Brad. Then, once we added keys and percussion, it took on a ‘guitar orchestra’ feeling.”

“The theme of the song is for God’s people to do His will through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit,” adds Brad. “The lyrics, “Let Your fire fall down in us, we need You,” are a plea to God to fill us with His power and presence. We had a vision of what happened to the disciples when the Holy Spirit came down in tongues of fire. Today, more than ever, we need to rekindle the passion of walking as God’s children so that our world can experience the life-giving power of God.”

“Alabaster Grace combines a great message, vocals and sound, making for another compelling single,” says Kathryn Livingston, Client Services Manager at Westar Media. “This song is a must-hear for this Winter!”

Alabaster Grace’s new single, “Let Your Fire Fall,” can be streamed on Spotify or YouTube.

Stanley Brown is Gospel music’s go-to producer and composer, especially when a project calls for a fresh but authentic sound laced with Godly reverence and an urban feel. He has worked with everyone from Karen Clark Sheard to LeAndria Johnson to T.D. Jakes. His discography also includes Run DMC, Christopher Williams, Dru Hill and a host of urban artists, making his position in the music industry multi-faceted, unique and highly sought-after.

A humble giant in the genre, Brown has spent his entire career cultivating music projects for countless artists. Now, he is cultivating a project for himself: the release of “God Is Good” on his own Timeless Music Group label. Brokered by TITLE9, Timeless Music Group has entered into a distribution partnership with music powerhouse Roc Nation. Written and produced by Brown along with Rodney Jerkins and J. Drew Sheard, “God Is Good” is an effervescent track that is sure to become an anthem.

“This song represents the best that Gospel music can offer,” says Brown. “We have the greatest vocalists making a declaration that is simple and relatable, over a beat that will attract music fans from a multitude of genres. It’s a song that we had fun putting together, and that we hope motivates the masses to declare just how good God is.”

As the song begins, Hezekiah Walker proclaims “this is the vibe we’re on, no negative energy,” and it sets the tone for the entire track. Karen Clark Sheard and Kierra Sheard trade pristine vocals that imbue every lyric with perfect-pitch joy.

Rodney Jerkins says “God Is Good” is a song that the Gospel genre needs right now. “It is infusing the genre with something new sonically, and has a message that everyone will gravitate to.”

“God Is Good” is the prelude to an upcoming album project that Brown is completing, which will continue his track record of blending an urban sound into contemporary Gospel music.

“It is an honor to be in business with Roc Nation, and I am grateful that they believe enough in me and my vision to bring Timeless Music Group into their family for this project,” says Brown. “My career was shaped early on by being an executive at Island Black Music, and still having a focus on Gospel. I think when we – as a business – approach Gospel music as the crucial component of Black music that it actually is – we win.”

“God Is Good” is available now on all digital service providers.

Songs From The Soil launched in early January as a community of British worship artists and songwriters passionate to craft songs infused with the flavor of their local context. They introduce their second single, ‘Real Thing’, a folky tune led by Kate Cooke and Marc James. Written by the latter alongside Norwegian songwriters David André Østby and Maria Lundbak Hinge in a season of global lockdown, uncertainty was permeating their creative process.

The quest for a “true narrative” amid political divisions, riots, and restrictions was a worldwide obsession. ‘Real Thing’ is a song for the Church – God’s people – to reaffirm the greater reality of the Kingdom of God growing, always. “This song was birthed out of a longing to see the church rise from the ashes and shine bright in this world in this time again,” Marc James says.

Biblically, this new release from Songs From The Soil is rooted in themes of repentance, returning, and refreshing as the song combines lament and hopeful joy at once. ‘Real Thing’ is a rallying cry for the church. It is a song for unity, written in unity. “The reason for what we do is to build up and edify one another,” Marc concludes.

The new single from Songs From The Soil is an invitation to ask ourselves some hard questions, and a simultaneous source of inspiration to live uncompromisingly in God’s eternal vision for his beloved world.

The love of God is incomprehensible, inexhaustible, and inescapable. Although February is known as the month of love for couples, Contemporary Gospel Artist Andrea René (formerly known as Andrea René Williams) is reminding believers and non-believers alike that the ultimate love comes from God and God alone.

Her brand new single, “My One True Love,” is the artist’s latest single, and it debuts just in time for Valentine’s Day. A danceable track, “My One True Love” is the artist’s first release on her Inspirational Song Factory record label. Produced and performed by the artist herself,

Written by Andrea René, “My One True Love” came to her last February. “Last year as I was thinking about Valentine’s Day, I thought about how much the holiday focuses on human love. And although romantic love is a beautiful thing, many of us have bruised hearts because of relationships that didn’t work out; I definitely have experienced that.

But as I continued to think about my past broken relationships, I remembered that the Lover of my Soul has never broken my heart. His love has been the only love to carry me through some of the darkest times of my life,” says the songstress. It was these ideas that became the lyrics of “My One True Love”.

The track is quite different for the recording artist, and the EDM-influenced song will conjure up thoughts of dancing on the floor of a Christian club. “This track is the most contemporary track I have ever created,” she says. “At first when I finished it, I was hesitant about releasing it. But the more I listened to it, the more I liked it.

Andrea René Returns With A Danceable Love Song To God For Valentine’s Day

Now I think it’s one of my best productions,” says the producer and engineer. “My One True Love” will be featured on her forthcoming debut vocal album. Currently, Andrea is putting the finishing touches on Believe, a project scheduled to release this fall. Her instrumental EP, Soul Oasis: The Instrumentals was released in 2020 and a previous single, “Who Do I Run To,” also dropped in 2020.

A singer since the age of four and a pianist since the age of seven, Andrea René has been blessed to sit under world-renowned, award-winning ministers of music including Richard Smallwood, Byron Cage, and Ricky Dillard. She has sung the National Anthem for the NBA’s Washington Wizards, the WNBA’s Washington Mystics, and the Georgetown University Hoyas.

A summa cum laude graduate of Berklee College of Music and a former Recording Academy/GRAMMY Awards Manager for the Washington, DC Chapter, many know her as the CEO of the celebrated public relations & marketing firm, The Tehillah Agency (formerly known as Tehillah Enterprises).

Throughout her illustrious career in the music industry, she’s represented indie artists and legends; this year she celebrates 25 years in the music business.

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. [2 Corinthians 12:9]”

To the ones who exist in the background. The time to pick ourselves up is now. People talk, but the chosen are the ones who do. When we feel weak, it is He who makes us strong. So strong in fact that the Word tells us that we can do all things. Not some things, but we will succeed in the good plans He has made for us. 

Days have not always been memorable ones for Reece Lace’. Even so, her determination has been steadfast.
