Christian rock mainstay Kutless has released a fiery statement of faith with their new single “Words of Fire,” available on all major streaming platforms as of September 30. You can find the song at https://kutless.ffm.to/fire.

“The song ‘Words of Fire’ was inspired by the story of the Two Witnesses in Revelation chapter 11,” guitarist James Mead shares. “Around the time I wrote this song, there just seemed to be so many things that were causing tension. In my home city of Portland Oregon, there was a series of riots that lasted for several months. Then the world shut down from a pandemic. We have mourned the losses of several more horrible mass shootings.”

The song was born from Mead’s convicted sense of urgency in how to respond to widespread unrest: “When I read the story of the Two Witnesses, I can just picture a world that wants to stop them from spreading the truth. It’s an anthem for those that will continue to rise up and be bold and share their faith. The dead come back to life.”

“But after the three and a half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them.”
— Revelation 11:11 NIV

Sonically, “Words of Fire” blazes a path through the airwaves with an intensity that matches the message. A true return to form for a band that has always been based in rock and roll, the towering guitars and scorching melodies offer Kutless’s heaviest sound yet.

“We really took a hard look at what we wanted Kutless to look like moving forward,” lead singer Jon Micah Sumrall earnestly confesses. “We didn’t want to keep fighting the music industry ‘game.’ We just wanted to make music that we enjoyed. So we really got back to just making music, not worrying about radio or charts, and this brought us back to our rock roots.”

“Words of Fire” is the immediate follow-up to the retrospective EP Twenty, a collection of reimagined versions of three Kutless classics, released in honor of their debut album’s 20 year anniversary. That EP served to remind listeners of Kutless’s foundation, priming them for what’s to come with “Words of Fire” and the songs that will follow after.

“This first song is just a glimpse of what’s still to come,” Sumrall hints. “We are excited for this next chapter as we keep creating new music!”

Ian Yates’ sixth album, ‘Between The Joy And The Sorrow,’ is a collection of honest songs about living in the tension of life’s joys and sorrows. The collection has been released in two parts – ‘Part 1’ (June 24th 2022) and ‘Part 2’ (Sept 30th 2022).

Musically, Yates found inspiration in a number of singer/songwriters including, 70’s folk singer Nick Drake, Foy Vance, Alexi Murdoch, Bob Dylan and the ‘Nebraska’ album from Bruce Springsteen. Many of the songs are stripped back musically focusing on the lyrical content.

Yates says, “I wanted to write really honest songs, I’ve always tried to write songs of truth and authentic songs of hope. These songs are born out of the last two years as we’ve navigated this pandemic. Throughout this time I have come back to a simple trust in God.

Often I found myself disappointed with the things I’d seen. I found myself getting frustrated and lost in the opinions of people, the many perceptions of God, the incorrect prophecies, the politics and politicians. But at the end of the day I’m only responsible for myself and I had to look at myself and say, am I living a life of true devotion and worship? Am I living the way of Jesus? There’s a lot of strong voices out there and am I listening to Gods voice? Over the last 2 years I’ve felt like I’ve been living in the tensions of God’s faithfulness and provision, yet facing struggles and wrestling with the things I’d seen. My prayer is that these songs bring hope to those who have been disillusioned and remind those who have been disappointed that there is a light in the darkness, there is a Father who loves his children.”

Between The Joy And The Sorrow – Part 2 is available now.

The latest single from REVERE Brazil Unscripted, ‘Cantarei (Meu Salvador)/Risen Savior (Sing My Soul)’, testifies to the essence of the Christian life. Writers Dwan Hill, Ana Luiza Tristao, Lucy Grimble, and Julia Vitoria penned a song that points to God’s Holy and Righteous nature.

‘Cantarei (Meu Salvador)/Risen Savior (Sing My Soul)’ sings of God bearing our sin, taking our shame, and healing our wounds on a simple and compelling soundtrack.

With Julia’s powerful vocals, Lucy’s gentle and inviting worship leading, and Dwan’s anthemic piano playing, the sound that resonates in this recording is the worshipful unity from people of three different countries believing and proclaiming the greatness of God.

‘Therefore I Know’ is the highly anticipated new single from multi-award winning songwriters and worship leaders Luke Wareham, Sarah Téibo and Rachel Walker Mason and is available now on all digital music stores.

These three UK-based artists have come together to collaborate on writing and recording this song which seeks to remind us of the hope we have in Jesus and the freedom we find in Him. ‘Therefore I know’ which was produced by Tim and Jon Stephenson and mastered by Dan Stirling, is based on Romans 8:1 where the Apostle Paul tells us ‘Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus’.

Luke whose original idea it was to have this collaboration says, ‘it has been so great to write with Sarah and Rachel, they are both such great songwriters and encouragers and we cannot wait for everyone to hear the song. We hope that through this song people will grow closer to God and have confidence in their identity in Him’.

The song which is hoped to be a useful worship resource is available for download and streaming everywhere and can also be accessed on SongSelect CCLI and Loop Community for chords and tracks.

“Therefore I Know” is available now.

Celebrate Africa, an afro-dance music expression of home grown writers, composers and
producers from Harare, Zimbabwe, has teamed up with Denga “Kingdmusic” Takalani, multi-
award-winning artist, songwriter, worship leader and record producer, to release a new song to
capture a new anthem of hope for this generation.

The song titled “Hallelujah”, is driven by a melodic fusion of Afro-beats and victorious dance
music, written in two languages (Shona and English). In amongst all of the news and
expressions of defeat and depression, this is a song of victory.

Tommy and Daniel Deuschle, who started the Celebrate Africa collective, say of the song: “We
believe this is a call back to courage. A reminder to keep hope in their hearts and victory in their
hand. We know the details of defeat and depression. This song focuses on the picture of victory
that we all have. It’s closer than we think and sometimes we hear the sound of victory, before
we see it.”

Denga Takalani adds: “This song is a declaration that we will not give up, no matter what the
circumstances are. We will continue to praise God because He is good and His love endures
forever.”

Celebrate Africa’s unique sound combines trans-african choirs, unforgettable melodies and
hope-hitting beats. Drawing inspiration from the hustle, hardships and beauty of Africa, the
writing and artistry carries the tension of both the “struggle” and “freedom” of life in Africa, and
points to the One who gives true liberty.

“Hallelujah” is just one of the songs that Celebrate Africa has released as part of a collaborative
EP project. Other popular songs include “Makanaka” and “Home”.

Singer-Songwriter Rachael Nemiroff is expanding her music talents, as she teams up with Christian rapper, Steven Malcolm, for their new single “Hero or Heretic.” Both artists are connected with Curb/Word, and Nemiroff is thrilled for the opportunity to collaborate in the Hip-Hop world. The single was produced by David Thulin who is well known for Christian projects with Rachael Lampa, Shine Bright Baby, Jonathan Thulin, etc.

“I wanted to combine a pop feel to Rachael’s already amazing organic vibe, so when we were in the studio writing “Hero or Heretic,” I started with programmed drums and synths rather than Rachael’s typical approach,” said Thulin. “It was a gamble, sure, but it worked! Then we wondered if a feature would make sense and that’s where Steven came into the picture.”

The powerful message of “Hero or Heretic” is not to label people, but to love them where they are. Everyone can have uncomfortable moments in their lives and humans are not perfect. We all need to support each other with God’s love and grace, no matter the circumstances in our lives.

“As believers, we don’t have to pick between being perfect or struggling in our lives,” said Nemiroff. “We should be allowed to be human. We should be allowed to make mistakes. The flaws in our humanity are a beautiful thing and I think we all need to have more grace and patience with each other.”

Doctor, singer, and songwriter, Mfon Umoh offers his inspiring newest song captioned “Lead Me” featuring the anointed worshipper, Ekom Akpabio and produced by Crown Orok.

‘Lead me” is a heartfelt cry; an honest conversation with God about some of the hard questions in life we sometimes avoid or struggle to find answers to.

It explores the uncertainty we sometimes face about our future, pain, loss, disappointment, etc but with the central theme being that of a resounding faith in God who never fails us, even when it seems like nothing is going according to plan.

Also available on iTunes, Audiomack, & Spotify, this is a song everyone can relate to and I believe it will bless you greatly.

“If I knew the race to the Fallopian tube was rigged, I would know that I was chosen for a purpose, I would know my birth was mysteriously and beautifully designed and I will know that I am destined for more than my heart could ever fathom” – RICK WIDE

The above simple but deep quote sums up the journey which the new and budding urban gospel singer Rick Wide is about to take. To make it official unto the gospel music scene, Rick brings a new heat and a new sound in his maiden single “Show Me” now available on all major music platforms for streaming and download.

The song in its entirety presents a deep thought of the journey with God as individuals. The carefully composed song contains lyrics that highlights a blend of what we label as our own demons – the fear, the failures, the addictions, the scares etc and what God is able to do in us and through us regardless of our shortcomings.

Speaking about the inspiration behind this wonderful piece, Rick added that, the common factor in fighting his  fears and struggles is God.

“It’s always hard to stay in love with someone you claim you love. We are ready to bolt when things don’t go as planned. Unfortunately, we translate this to our relationship with Christ; we drift off when the going gets tough. Yet He doesn’t stop loving! I showed Him my scars – scars so ugly it’s embarrassing – yet He showered them with love until I saw them no more. I said, “Lord I’m scared” and He said, “Son, I’ve fought all your fears!” Now I know better. No matter what happens in my life, no matter how hard or bad it gets. This love has got to stay” – Rick added
