ELEVATION RHYTHM releases a poignant worship song today with worship leader Abbie Gamboa and Elevation Worship’s Tiffany Hudson. “At The Altar” is co-written by Josh Holiday, Davide Mutendji, Tiffany Hudson, Steven Furtick, and Abbie Gamboa. Inspired by the Bible story of Mary pouring expensive perfume on Jesus before His crucifixion, this song encourages the listener to give God our significant sacrifice. Listen to the new song now and watch the live video below.

“This song was birthed from a conversation with us wanting to bring God more than just another song,” shares Davide Mutendji of ELEVATION RHYTHM. “The thing that shocked the disciples in this story wasn’t what Mary did, but what she gave. We wanted to write a song where the heart was not just about giving an offering but at the core an invitation to bring Jesus our significant sacrifices.”

He adds, “Significant sacrifices can look like anything. It can look like an expensive jar of perfume, the disappointment of a broken dream, the fake perfect version of us we create on social media,  a relationship, or an addiction. Even fear and anxiety when brought to the altar as a sacrifice can be transformed in the presence of our Savior. Jesus wants it all, so don’t second guess yourself because there’s no waste at the altar!”

After spending the summer performing at major youth conferences, ELEVATION RHYTHM will join Elevation Worship and Pastor Steven Furtick for Elevation Nights this fall. You can purchase your tickets now for Elevation Nights by visiting ElevationNights.com.

‘God of the Impossible’ is the new single from UK songwriter and worship leader Luke Wareham featuring Molly Skaggs (Cageless Birds) ahead of his new EP that is coming out later this year. The song focuses on how God does the impossible in our lives.

Luke says, “I wrote ‘God of the impossible’ with my friend Matt Caddick which is based on when Jesus says in Matthew 19:26 ‘with man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible’. This has been my story of God working in my family’s life over the past year in situations which seemed hopeless and desperate. It has been a privilege to have American songwriter and worship leader Molly Skaggs collaborate on this song.

I have found her music inspiring over the years. I particularly love the way Dan Stirling has produced this song as I wanted it to be soothing to our hearts. It was also great to have Jonny Bird mastering and Tim Cooke playing drums on the song.”

The overall theme for Luke’s new EP ‘Christ Is Lord’ is about how having Jesus as the center of our life changes everything! Luke loves to write songs straight from the Bible and for the local church to sing. Psalm 146:2 has inspired these new songs when it says, ‘I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I
live’.

‘God of the Impossible’ the third single off this new EP is out on the 9th of August and is available to stream and download on all music platforms, the brand-new lyric video is on YouTube and chordcharts are available to download via CCLI Songselect.

Earlier this week, BILLBOARD broke the news that SKILLET will be releasing their first independent record, REVOLUTION on November 1, 2024.  The project’s first single, “Unpopular,” premiered yesterday on BILLBOARD and SIRIUS XM’s OCTANE channel, and along with a music videois available across all DSPs today with a pre-order for the full album, including on CD and Vinyl.

The song was teased in SKILLET’s brand new app, also launching today, which will give fans early access to tickets, exclusive content, message boards and more.  Exuding confidence, “Unpopular” hinges on a hard-hitting guitar groove with a swaggering rhythm and will impact Active Rock Radio August 20th.

“ ‘Unpopular‘ is lighthearted, but there’s a clear message,” says lead singer John Cooper. “So many people don’t have a place to belong. You used to know your neighbors. Our communities are online now, which contributes to the loneliness. You have powerful people telling you what reality is, what you should eat, what you should drive, and how you should live. They deem us ‘unpopular’. In reality, we agree more than we disagree as a society. The majority of people just want to be free and they don’t really care whether or not you agree with them about everything.”

REVOLUTION is expected to only extend Skillet’s formidable legacy. As of 2024, the band have received two GRAMMY® Award nominations, picked up a Billboard Music Award, and landed three albums in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200. Selling over 22 million units worldwide with over 24 billion global streams to date, SKILLET have notched multi-platinum, platinum, or gold RIAA certifications for a total of 12 singles and four full-length albums.

Their latest RIAA Gold certifications just hit this summer with the tracks “Legendary” and “Stars.”  Not to mention, they have regularly attracted 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone, boasting “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time” with the 5x-platinum “Monster.”

After an incredible 20 years on Atlantic Records, SKILLET have built this new vision entirely by hand, intentionally opting to go independent at the end of their last contract and developing a solid indie team. Bolstered and galvanized by the support of a fervent global base, they took advantage of this newfound freedom, writing and recording the album at their own pace on the road and at home as well as in studios across Milwaukee, Canada, and Nashville.

The group also tapped the talents of longtime collaborators and producers Brian Howes and Seth Mosely, as well as band member Korey Cooper with YOUTHYEAR/Carlo Colasacco bringing these ten tracks to life naturally.

“We made records on the same label for 20 years, and it was a great experience,” says Cooper. “Since this was the first independent record, it put some pep in my step, so to speak. We did exactly what we wanted to do. If I was on the road and felt inspired to write, I just did. In the past, we’d make a bunch of ideas and whittle everything down for the album. This time, we only wrote and recorded ten tracks, but it was all we needed. Musically, there are a lot of flavors on the record. It’s got the arena songs, but it also has some tunes that are more nostalgic and throwback Skillet.”

“Thematically, there’s so much nihilism in our culture. Depression and teen suicide are at epidemic levels. We’re revolting against a culture that creates nihilism, nothingness, and materialism. The album is poignant, but it’s also very confident and inclusive as well,” he continues.

“It’s a record saying, ‘We have to be willing to stand up for what we believe in—even if it might be unpopular in some circles, but hey, maybe we could have a revolution of love, you know, a revolution of understanding, of tolerance towards people that we don’t agree with and come back to some human dignity and respecting peoples rights and where they’re coming from.

And so, it’s kind of speaking to the division and the polarization that is happening, which I think is a really good message and what the whole ‘revolution’ thing is all about. We allude to it on the record cover where there’s a Skillet flag, and in the corner it lists I Corinthians, 13:13, a verse that says, “Hold onto these things: faith, hope, love. But the greatest is love.”

Ready to play new music for their fans, SKILLET recently announced that they will hit the road this fall with another one of the best-selling rock bands of the 21st century, SEETHER, followed by their first-ever tour of the Middle East in November where the band will be playing in Turkey, Kazakhstan, United Arab Emirates, and more.  From there SKILLET will support Black Stone Cherry on a handful of dates across the UK. Tickets for all shows are now available at Skillet.com.

Singer, songwriter, and performing artist Ryan Ellis recently released a new song titled “Satisfied.” You can see the official lyric video for this new song below.

“This song is a declaration. Jesus is always enough. If you’re on top of the world or you’re in the depths of heartache and struggle, Jesus is enough,” Ellis shared on social media.

Ellis has teased a new album is in the works so stay tuned for more details coming soon. And, be sure to catch Ryan on the road this fall with Tauren Wells and Danny Gokey on The Takeback Tour.

After a brief hiatus, renowned Music minister, Raymond Chinedu marks his return to the music scene with the release of his latest single titled “Yahweh”.

The dialogue between God and Moses in EXODUS 3 as it concerns the deliverance of a people in captivity for so many years from the hands of the Egyptians, is one event that would change the way and manner we see and relate with God after many years down the line.

Moses said to God “who will I tell them sent me”? And the Lord retorted “Tell them I AM WHO I AM sent you. Tell them the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and I shall be known by this name from generation to generation”.

It is these resonating verses that gave birth to the song YAHWEH .

The song YAHWEH by RAYMOND CHINEDU is a revelation of God’s abilities and who He is, penned down for everyone to listen and experience God for themselves.
