Switchfoot releases “California Christmas” off their upcoming Christmas LP, this is our Christmas album, out November 4th. Marking the band’s first-ever holiday record, this is our Christmas album finds Switchfoot infusing their signature West Coast sound to a number of holiday classics and five, new original Christmas songs. Cheery, nostalgic and brimming with sunshine, the 11 track collection was inspired by everyone from the Beach Boys to Black Flag, and promises to be the perfect soundtrack for the holiday season with a new California twist.

“Christmas is an emotional treasure chest for a songwriter to pull from,” lead Singer Jon Foreman says. “It’s a season stretched tight with contradictions: celebrating the free gifts of love and grace with an outburst of materialist capitalist consumption. An emotional roller coaster of family and friends, hopes and scars- bringing out the worst and the best in all of us.” A project that’s been years in the making, this is our Christmas album, wraps its arms wide around these contradictions.

this is our Christmas album is a follow up to 2021’s interobang, which saw the band opt for raw 60’s era pop-infused feel and straying away from their typical rock sound. Penned through the pandemic, interrobang celebrates the journey when the destination is unsure. It illustrates the contrast between joy and pain, faith and doubt, and marks a bold new creative peak for the multi-platinum rockers.

Nashville-based worship leader Sarah Kroger releases a new single with a soulful version of ‘What A Wonderful World’. The song a statement as to what can be expected from Kroger’s newest creative exploration as she gears up to a new EP early in the new year.

‘What A Wonderful World’, despite not being a standard church song, is full of the artist’s love for Christ and his endless beauty expressed through her sweet and crisp vocals gliding a stunning stripped-back soundscape. Though not being labelled as a worship song, ‘What A Wonderful World’ is an articulation of the human experience in which people from all backgrounds, be they religious or not, can hopefully recognize themselves.

The new single is a song of hope and wonder through which Kroger desires to encourage people on their personal journey.

Her upcoming project is a “meeting of the streams” moment where every song speaks to where the singer-songwriter has been, but also to where she is and is going. Kroger’s new version of this classic reinforces her heart to serve the Global Church with songs to sing over people, while providing a musical balm that challenges, uplifts, encourages, and comforts all who hear.

“What A Wonderful World” is available now.

Chris August shares new music with his single titled “Hotel Bible.” The official lyric video can be viewed below. “Hotel Bible” is available now.

One night after a show I had just gotten back to my hotel room and was looking for the sticky note pad of paper in the room. It turned out to be in the nightstand drawer and sitting right next to it was a bible. In that moment I wondered if that bible had a story outside of what was written in it. If maybe there ever someone who was going through something they couldn’t really get out of and by opening it up and reading some of the stories they were reminded they don’t have to be stuck. Reminded there is hope. I’ve had many of those moments myself so I decided to write about it and ‘Hotel Bible’ is what came out. -August

The song, titled ‘Running’, is interpreted by songwriters and worship leaders Beth McNeil and Jon Solway. ‘Running’ is a slower and meditative track adorned with strings and spacious voicings that explores the beauty of Jesus’ grace.

Telling the story of the new song, Beth explains that its inspiration came from the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 and the amazing picture of the Lord’s heart painted through it. ‘Running’ cleverly links the touching parable told by Jesus to his death a few chapters later, connecting us afresh with God’s life-changing grace.

As the single ends, the recording captures a beautiful moment as the track fades and the crowd sings in simple devotion. Produced by Jonny Bird, Vineyard Worship’s new single follows a first live release from Dreaming the Impossible, this year’s national youth festival which gathered three thousand from all over the UK.
