JJ Heller shares new music with I Dream Of You: CHRISTMAS. The project is available now.
“Yesterday I listened to the whole thing from start to finish because I wanted to remind myself of what you’d be hearing today. I’ll tell you what, I was excited about this album when we first finished it many months ago, but I think I’m even more excited about it now. It’s just stunning.
When I made Unto Us (my first Christmas album) back in 2016, it was like a spark was lit inside me. I absolutely fell in love with singing Christmas music. It felt comfortable, familiar, challenging and inspiring all at the same time. I loved the orchestration, the nostalgia and the children’s choir. It’s what led me down the path of making all of the orchestral I Dream of You records.
It was an absolute joy to revisit Christmas again with this new collection of songs. It was no small feat, that’s for sure. @benshive crushed it again with his absolutely gorgeous arranging and production and my brilliant husband Dave was always there to point us in the right direction.
As usual, all the players were incredible. From brass and woodwinds, to harp and percussion, keys and strings, the @trinityboyschoir with their angelic voices, and @rob_burrell_mixermania mixing like an absolute master, there are just so many insanely talented people lending us their gifts… simply to create this one big timeless gift for you. 🎁
I hope you can hear the love, joy and reverence in these beautiful tracks. I hope they become the backdrop to countless Christmas memories to come. I sure loved singing these songs and I can’t wait for you to sing along with me.” -Heller
David Ashley Trent shares his take on “I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day.” The official audio can be heard below.
“Might seem like an odd choice for my first official Christmas release but after a deep dive into the story behind the song I realized this was the very song I’ve needed these last few Christmases.” -Trent
Curb | Word Entertainment artist Hannah Kerr adds her warm alto to a traditional arrangement of “Joy To The World.” Kerr’s graceful, piano-led rendition, “Joy To The World (It’s Christmas),” includes an original refrain that sends the song out to the lonely, the anxious, and the forgotten.
The fresh seasonal offering serves as the title-cut of Kerr’s latest three-track holiday single, new for Christmas 2022. “Joy To The World (It’s Christmas)” was arranged by Hannah Kerr and Jason Earley; and produced by Mark Miller.
Kerr also puts her spin on the holiday classic, “Sleigh Ride.” Sticking to a traditional arrangement of the Christmas favorite, Kerr’s elegant vocal glides effortlessly over the bright instrumentation of a jazz trio. “Sleigh Ride” was written by Leroy Anderson and Mitchell Parish; and produced by Mark Miller.
Kerr waltzes into the holiday season with her wistful take on “I’ll Be Home For Christmas.” Set against a meandering piano and light percussion, Kerr’s dreamlike version captures the nostalgia of the original classic in a spin-off that’s uniquely her own. “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” was written Walter Kent, Kim Gannon and Buck Ram; and produced by Mark Miller.
Love & The Outcome release the second in a pair of new seasonal selections. “It’s Still Christmas” speaks to those feeling the weight of loss, heartache, and grief this holiday season.
Acknowledging that Christmas isn’t always the most wonderful time of the year, the mid-tempo track offers a shaft of light on an otherwise dark night, reminding listeners that hope remains even when the holidays find us missing the ones we love.
“It’s Still Christmas” was written by Jodi King Rademaker, Chris Rademaker and Mark Campbell; and produced by Mark Campbell.
After introducing their energetic live version of Christmas classic ‘Oh Come All Ye Faithful’, Thrive Worship release a new single version.
This reimagined rendition is focused on the local church, for Her to carry this beautiful song throughout the season.
The upbeat take on the classic Christmas carol combined with the powerful vocals of leader Corbin Phillips bring listeners to a place of joy and triumph. Thrive Worship’s version of ‘Oh Come All Ye Faithful’ finishes with a medley of ‘Little Drummer Boy’, highlighting the festive thread that runs through the new single.
The Sacramento-based worship group hope that their take on ‘Oh Come All Ye Faithful’ brings out something new and refreshing by the power of the Holy Spirit.
‘The Saviour Is Here’ wasn’t originally meant to be a Christmas song. ICF Worship set out to write a song based on Revelation, a highly descriptive book giving its readers a glimpse of the throne room of God and the heavenly host’s worship.
Yet, the Swiss band quickly saw the hopeful theme of the Christmas being birthed in the lyrics, celebrating the time when heaven met earth in the most powerful way.
‘The Saviour Is Here’ is an emotive, congregational, and spacious song starting on a beautiful piano melody and evolving into a strings and choir-backed worship carol.
The release also includes an instrumental version of ‘The Saviour Is Here’. In a season of confusion, crisis, and fear, the new single seeks to set our minds on the Eternal Hope and Light of the world, Jesus Christ.
Today, country singer-songwriter Jenna Torres shares a message of spiritual surrender with “Prayers Up,” her third single from her highly-anticipated upcoming album, Heaven & Hurt. People will often utter a prayer when they are at their lowest ebb—a desperate plea for things to be different and for light to shine in on the darkness. “Prayers Up” (and its emotionally evocative video) illustrates the miracle that lies within simply asking for help.
“This is a very special song to me about the incredible power of personal and collective prayer. It is about being lost and finally finding oneself in conversation with a higher power, asking for the strength we can’t find on our own.”
“Prayers Up” is an intimate and confessional ballad with soulful strings, comforting mandolin melodies, and Jenna’s plaintive vocals which rise skyward as the song’s uplifting message takes flight. The song delicately unfolds revealing layers of gospel redemption with honeyed harmony vocals and Jenna’s powerhouse pipes which summon country’s rich history of pop-hooks and salvation-themed storylines.
The song’s emotionally evocative video starts with Jenna in a darkened room, curled up in a chair singing with the debris of challenging times strewn all around her. The pain and loneliness feel real in these moments, bringing to life the poignance of the song’s opening lines. As the video progresses, hope arrives with the life-changing power of prayer.
An acclaimed singer-songwriter, Jenna has penned songs for Warner Music Group and Warner/Chappell Music, including the anthem “Proud” for the Weather Girls’ Martha Wash and co-writing the For King & Country hit “Busted Heart” (alongside Ben Glover), landing the song the Top 10 on the Billboard Christian Hot 100, AC, and CHR charts. She has also released a string of albums including A Woman’s Touch, Wild Sugar, and All Heart.
Gospel recording artiste, Nelson Lights releases a brand new single titled “Pursue, Overtake & Recover All.” This marks the third official single from the passionate music minister and worship leader.
“Pursue, Overtake & Recover All” is a prophetic song given by God to bring about the total restoration of all that the devil has stolen – 1 Samuel 30:18.
The Dallas-based singer-songwriter releases “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” along with her 2017 “Into You” album re-release and a Veterans Day video tribute.
