German worship band Outbreakband release their new single ‘Oase’, translating in English as “Oasis”. Their vision seeks to reawaken a passion for the Lord and for worship in the youth of Germany and bordering German speaking countries, which ‘Oase’ expresses lyrically and musically.
The single is bright and energetic, featuring multiple synths, an electric drive, and an overall fresh summery feel.
With underlying water sounds as a nod to the title, ‘Oase’ expands on the metaphor of God’s presence as a place of rest and refreshing amid life circumstances.
It’s a song of faith and a reminder of our belonging to a caring and life-giving God. Mia Friesen, who co-wrote the new song with Stefan Schöpfle, adds that “the song has such a beautiful musical lightness [as an invitation] to come into the lightness that God has for us and look for the oases [in his presence].” Outbreakband’s deep conviction and experience of Christ’s abounding life as well as their crisp sound shine through ‘Oase’. “Oase” is available now.

Munday Martin has released “Super Jesus,” his third single from his sophomore album which will drop in December 2022. “Super Jesus” is available now to download/stream.
Munday Martin was promoted as the best up and coming artist in Nashville Tennessee by Nashville‘s biggest rock station recently, and without question is certainly making waves in the Christian and secular music industry with his retro rock vibe reminiscent of the 80s and 90s.
“Super Jesus” is a song I wrote one day on electric guitar singing in front of my two kids and my wife. The kids loved it and the melody was catchy enough to make it a quirky song that both adults and kids will love. I can see the kingdom of darkness trying to infiltrate the youth today and I wanted to offer a song that can point them to the light of Jesus Christ. An animation music video is in the works for it right now. – Munday
Producer John Mark Painter (DC Talk, The Grits, Steve Taylor, Fleming and John) added synthesizer ear candy that kids will love to make it a fun techno experience dipping our inspirations into “Devo” and “Men Without Hats.” Post punk as it gets, the song, under two minutes long in the tradition of punk, gets the point across quickly.
Every town is in despair and the only one that can save the town and give you power to be free is Super Jesus. Prepare to smile! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no, it’s SUPER JESUS! Corny? Perhaps. But not to a child or one with a childlike heart. This song is Munday’s kiss blown to the cheeks of Jesus with no shame saying “Thank you my Master for saving me in my youth at age 6 in Stamford Ct.”
Nashville-based Christian artist Jared KF Jones released his smooth, soaring R&B-infused gospel single “Goodness of God (I Just Wanna Sing)” – a mid-tempo hit about having hope and singing praise of His Goodness.
Uplifting and catchy, with melodies that’ll have you thinking of Ne-Yo and airy pop vocals reminiscent of Michael Jackson, “Goodness of God (I Just Wanna Sing)” sees Jared lay his soul bare through song as a reminder to have gratitude for His Grace, even in rough times.
Written, recorded, and produced independently by Jared KF Jones, this single marks the gospel artist’s first official foray into radio play as a solo Christian act, despite having past success with his original songs being featured on major TV network films and shows, including BET’s The Game, NBC’s The Voice, and Days of Our Lives, and The Young and The Restless on CBS.
“I first heard the chorus melody in my head. I’d recently read Colossians 3:16 where it states we must let the word of Christ fill us, teach, and counsel each other with His wisdom and sing songs to God with thankfulness. I decided to sing simply about God’s goodness and recorded the idea on my phone, knowing it needed to become a song.” – JARED KF JONES
Jared’s trusting in Him to move his gospel career to the next level – and we can show love to the breakthrough artist by supporting his stunning new single.
“Goodness of God (I Just Wanna Sing)” by Jared KF Jones is available to stream, purchase, and download now.

Since the release of his self-titled debut full-length album this past spring, which includes “Weary Traveler,” his first No. 1 career single and “Fires,” which charted for 45 weeks, Jordan St. Cyr is excited to share his latest song, “No Matter What.”
Already one of the most added overall at AC Radio and AC Monitored and placed on New & Active at both Christian Airplay and AC Indicator charts, the new music video for “No Matter What” debuts today on his YouTube channel beginning at 10am CT. Be sure to tune in as St. Cyr will join in on the premiere to chat with fans and share more about the song and video.
“‘No Matter What’ was written through a hard personal season, and the revelation I received through it changed everything,” Jordan St. Cyr shares. “I began to understand the faithful nature of God really has nothing to do with me, and that my heavenly Father stands in the trenches and fights for me not because I have somehow done something to earn His favour. He is faithful not because I am faithful, rather it’s because He loves me unconditionally. No matter what this life may bring, the choices I make, the amount of faith I have, I know that God is with me.”
No Matter What – Jordan St. Cyr
St. Cyr is sharing many of his songs at various festivals and concerts around the U.S. and in Canada this summer. Appearing at Lifest Music City, Kingdom Bound, and Light The Way, he is also set to appear at King’s Island with Skillet on July 23. Fall and Christmas plans are also underway and will be announced shortly. Touring non-stop since the start of the year, he kicked off 2022 touring with Anne Wilson before joining Jeremy Camp’s “I Still Believe Tour.” Be sure to visit his tour page for the most updated schedule.
Award-winning female recording gospel artiste Ebiere Mesiyamusic delivers an impeccable new single titled, “Signs and Wonders.”
In her words, “The song reminds us of the efficacy, power and the authority we have in the place of prayer.”
“This song promises to inspire, encourage and announce the saving, lifting and life-changing power of Prayer.” – she concludes.
The single comes from Ebiere’s debut EP project tagged, “Devotion Vol. 1” which carries tracks like “All my days,” “Stake my life,” “Signs and Wonders,” and “I Will Sing” and“Mighty Rushing Wind (Acoustics).”
It is accompanied by carefully written Lyrics and a Lyric Video.
Gospel music minister Ugonwa Pattbob is out with her second single for the year, she titled this one “Siyabonga Yesu.”
Still savouring the success from the release of the Amapiano song “Ekele,” which is still enjoying massive airplay from radio stations, Ugonwa Pattbob proceeds to follow up with yet another banger, “Siyabonga Yesu”, a Southern African culture-influenced song set to keep you on the dance floor, praising God.
When asked about what informed the thematic preoccupation of the song, Ugonwa Pattbob has this to say:
“While I am still a sinner, GOD loves me. For all His blessings upon me and my family, l cannot pay Him but all l can do is Praise Him especially when He has blessed me with a wonderful voice. Therefore, I want to minister to everyone irrespective of age. My mission as a Gospel artist is to draw souls to Christ. Also, l want to share the Word of God to people through my music.”
If you loved and danced to the Amapiano beats of “Ekele,” then get ready to jump and shout to “Siyabonga Yesu”.
Gospel music Minister Bose Adeyemo follows up her previous release with the video of “Onibu Ore“.
“Onibu Ore” is delivered in the Yoruba Language [a language widely spoken in the southwestern part of Nigeria] simply translates to mean “one with bountiful blessing” or “one with inexhaustible goodness” in English.
It is a song of praise that acknowledges God as the One with inexhaustible blessings and sufficient provision. His goodness towards us never ends as long as He is still God.
Bose Adeyemosongs are from a place of deep intimacy and fellowship; this is evident on this new single as well. It is the craving of a worshipper for deeper Measures of the Holy spirit and greater manifestations of his dimensions.
Bose Adeyemo is a USA-based Gospel music minister and worship leader. She serves at Redeemed Christian church of God New Wine Assembly, Washington DC.
