Chart-topping Christian rock radio vocalist Matt Sassano is back with his electrifying new EP In Defiance via Rockfest Records. Featuring deeply honest, urgent singles “Not My Name” and “Dear God,” Sassano combines his powerhouse vocals, heavy rock melodies and EDM undertones with his faith and unique life story to deliver a love letter to misfits everywhere across five tracks.

Sassano holds nothing back as he tackles topics including life with a disability, addiction, mental health, and struggles with loved ones with the hope of resonating with fellow rock fans who seek strength and solace in his lyrics.

“My EP ‘In Defiance’ is a heavy-hitting and hopefully thought-provoking body of work. I hope that the vulnerability in the lyrics will help the underdog feel less alone in their struggle. I hope this music is a reminder to stand in defiance to whatever brings the listener down, tells them they are not enough or powerless. It was an honor working with Josiah Prince on this project and we poured a lot of heart and passion into each track..” – Matt Sassano

Though Matt Sassano launched his solo career in 2016, his roots in rock music run deep with his bands Transparent and Transparent Soul. His six years with these rock ensembles prepared him for sharing his debut solo LP Transcend in 2019, driven by energetic synths and raw storytelling. His passion for Christianity, songwriting and music creation have helped him navigate life with Cerebral Palsy and the rare learning disability Dyscalculia. Not only has he connected with fellow underdogs everywhere through his craft, but Matt’s work was also featured on the 2012 NASCAR The Game: Inside Line. As Matt ventures into a new chapter of his musical career with the awe-inspiring and riff-laden In Defiance, it’s clear his heavy rock journey is far from over.

UK singer-songwriter Philippa Hanna unveils a new version of her award-winning song ‘You’re Still God’ kicking off a new season of music releases. After her debut worship album ‘Stained Glass Stories’ released at the height of the pandemic in 2020, Philippa Hanna shines a new light on her most significant songs to date.

‘You’re Still God’ was recorded live at The Old Chapel studios in England and features an eclectic musical backdrop of grand piano, double bass, mandolin, acoustic guitar, and ambient drums which carry the singer’s voice beautifully. Talking about the heart of this new project, she says: “this EP is a celebration of music -one of God’s greatest gifts to us. Taking these songs to a different space creatively has been my way of giving thanks for them!”

‘You’re Still God’ was written out of the ashes of a difficult personal season and has been a comfort for Philippa Hanna and her family since its inception. “As we’ve ventured out into the world post-pandemic, we’re hearing so many storiesof how the song has helped carry others through their darkest times,” she adds. The first single from the UK artist’s upcoming EP is filled with warmth and faith that though darkness may loom, God reigns above it all.

“You’re Still God – Philippa Hanna” is available now.

Anchor Hymns release their third single, a version of ‘Altogether Good’ sung by Paul Baloche and UK worship leader Lucy Grimble. Originally written by Zach Bolen and Brian Eichelberger from the band Citizens, the song has an overall soothing feel which Paul and Lucy carry effortlessly.

Anchor Hymns’ new single is filled with reminders of the Lord’s nature in the face of personal and global questioning and hardship.

“There’s a gentleness and beauty to this song which really makes the power of its lyrics so easy to take in. It’s not forceful in presenting truth but it also doesn’t compromise on the message,” Lucy says.

‘Altogether Good’ points to God’s presence in our weakness, our hiding, our joys and griefs all at once.

Paul Baloche sings this song off the back of losing two close relatives to cancer, “in the battle it can feel like you’re all alone,” he says, “though we didn’t see the outcome that we prayed for, we were reassured many times by his presence in the midst of suffering.” ‘Altogether Good’ encourages us to continually trust and come back to God’s loving presence in all honesty, as Paul concludes: “Acknowledging our doubts or disappointments to God is part of any healthy relationship.”

Anchor Hymns is the latest Integrity Music multi-artist project which is starting by reaching into the past with initial releases that will cover some of Integrity’s most iconic songs and reframe them in a modern way.

“Altogether Good” is available now.

REVERE is a collective of worship and church leaders who are artists, songwriters, and content creators living out the reverential worship of the person of Jesus.

That message has been resonating in the hearts of a group of Brazilian worship leaders and songwriters, bringing us to gather with them earlier this year. During this time of learning the word, song writing, and unscripted recording, the song ‘Contemple (O Rei Da Gloria)’ emerged. Isaías Saad, an established Brazilian Christian artist with a following of millions, interpreted the song in his native language of Portuguese.

‘Contemple (O Rei Da Gloria)’’ is the translated version of ‘Behold (King Of Glory)’, a song pointing all glory back to God with passion and reverence at its core. The simple and sober arrangement amplifies the power of the moment when ‘Contemple (O Rei Da Gloria)’ was recorded “unscripted” as the new song captures a sense of ultimate devotion, respect, and honor towards the Lord.

“Contemple (O Rei Da Gloria)” is available now.
