The song conveys Lyric videos for both songs will be making their premieres that day on HeIsTheArtist’s Youtube channel. In this digital age, many lack patience, and “God Is On My Mind” serves as reassurance that God is with you always. The song reiterates the biblical message that sometimes you have to wait on God’s greatest gifts, but those gifts are worth the wait.

“Parted Waves” conveys the message that we can ask God for His assistance during our most troubling times. It is song about letting go, and letting God into your life. The song also alludes to people running during the massive number of mass shootings in America in 2022. Much like the Israelites, who fled from the Egyptians in “The Book Of Exodus” in the Bible, the victims required God’s assistance in order to reach safety. “Parted Waves” will hit radio airwaves on July 25th.

“I’m goin, I’m goin, I’m goin,
I’m goin, I’m goin,
I’m goin Party’s over
The devil wants me
Can’t you see that
I am A child of God “

Innovative singer-songwriter Sarantos has released his latest single called ‘I wish’ to benefit make a
Wish foundation.

Released on August 2nd, 2022, the new EDM/Pop single by Sarantos combines genres to offer a unique musical experience. Titled ‘I Wish’, the song explores the human need to have more things in life, as the artist also shares his personal struggle with the obsession of always wanting more.

Always writing his own lyrics, Sarantos aims to humanize all the emotions and feelings that society thinks are bad, due to which people keep those feelings hidden deep inside. By using his music as a conduit for this emotional discourse, Sarantos sets himself apart in the EDM and Pop music scene.

The Official music video for ‘I Wish’ will be released on August 9th, 2022. The music video features stunning visuals of vast landscapes where a lost man can be seen walking in search of something. According to Sarantos, “This visual signifies the meaning of the song.

The man walking symbolizes myself and all the other people, who are always in search of more happiness in a world that seems to be riddled with neverending problems. The man travels to every corner of the globe; from Chicago to Alcatraz, Normandy, Iceland, Switzerland, and India to Australia looking for answers. The dreaminess of the footage mirrors the fluctuation between hope and despair as the suspenseful story plays out. The man’s life is far from perfect, but he isn’t ready for it to end…”

The single continues a string of releases by Sarantos that benefit charity. ‘I Wish’ will benefit Make A Wish
Foundation. Sarantos says, “A wish experience can be a game-changer for a child with a critical illness. I think this belief guides that organization in everything they do. It inspires them to grant life-changing wishes for children going through so much and compels them to be creative in exceeding the kid’s expectations.”

Mark Barlow is an independent recording artist who has flown under the radar for the past five years as a hyper influential force of creativity and soul in the Christian music industry. Mark Barlow’s music is uplifting, compelling, and completely medicinal. His honest and heartfelt music ranges stylistically from retro cinematic soul and gospel to indie and pop, tied together by an undeniably soulful voice and profound lyrics. 

Each project builds upon an unforgettable message of togetherness, pure authenticity and divine love, resulting in music that grooves the soul and stays on replay. Mark’s versatility, sonic range, and authenticity as a performer continues to cement his place as a staple in today’s generation of new soul hitmakers. 

BACKGROUND

The genesis of Barlow’s soulful sound and sincerity began in his 6 year old heart having grown up in a black megachurch in Chicago IL, Living Word Christian Center. With 18,000 church members surrounding, his young soul reverberated with the sounds of the choir, a world-class gospel band, and soaring melodies. Leading gospel artists like Vicki Yohe, Donald Lawrence, and Walt Whitman and the Soul Children of Chicago would come perform regularly on any given Sunday. 

Like a sponge soaking in that juice, now when you squeeze him, soul spills out from every fiber of his being, and stirs his passion for togetherness, deep relationships, and the family essence of church.

Barlow began working in 2015 with Isla Vista Worship, one of the leading worship movements in the Christian independent space. Barlow’s debut song with Isla Vista Worship, “So In Love”, was not only Isla Vista Worship’s first-ever gospel song, but became an immediate hit – charting over 12 million streams and counting.

This song became a gateway for Isla Vista Worship’s reach to expand and enlightened a high demand for sincere, soulful music within the DIY/indie world. Shortly after, Barlow co-released a bedroom-gospel mini-album appropriately entitled “Soul Hymns”.

Deeply inspired by the reception of his first album, Barlow began to lean into his soul roots even more so to create a sequel to Soul Hymns. Remembering the history of soul, being that Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Etta James, and others, grew up in the church singing gospel songs prior to creating their lovesongs, Barlow followed suit to create Hymns & Soul, “the long-awaited reunion of Love & lovin’”.

Spotify and Apple Music gracefully selected Hymns & Soul for various editorial playlists “Fresh Finds”, “Fresh Finds R&B”, “Retro Pop”, “Retro Soul”, “Morning Commute”, “Radar US”, “Pop For Life” and many more; sharing the same space and listenership with modern soul icons like Silk Sonic, Leon Bridges, Allen Stone, Vulfpeck, Bruno Major. 

Now with the re-opening of live music in America, Barlow will embark on a west-coast tour in September, 2022. As he prepares for the road, his pioneering with Isla Vista Worship will continue as well as his booming solo career.

“Kingdom Book One Deluxe” by Maverick City Music and Kirk Franklin is downloadable/streamable on digital platforms.

The new LP includes nine new songs recorded on tour, and it was inspired by its predecessor, ‘Kingdom Book One’ (released 6.17), which was recorded in a Florida jail yard to raise awareness about mass incarceration.

The artists were deeply impacted by their experience at the facility and felt such a new sense of being, empowering them to explore new creative sounds and worship.

“These songs are a reflection of our work in the prison,” says co-founder & CEO of Maverick City Tony Brown. “Being on tour and seeing the response of 10,000+ people each night has truly been such an inspirational experience.”

2022 is the year of Maverick City Music. Following the group’s recent Grammy win and historic mainstage performance, the record-breaking collective has been on a magnificent rise. Since then, they’ve gone on to perform mainstage at the BET Awards, and also alongside Diddy and Faith Evans, performed for NPR Tiny Desk, and on The View.
