New Wine releases a live concert video for “Breathing In”/”Ahora Respiraré.” The group shares about the release:
As worshippers, we are vessels that allow God to invade our world and life through the Holy Spirit which creates a passion for Him. Our humanity gives room for Him to reveal himself through worship and become like Jesus Christ and be the light of the world. He is our pursuit, His presence is our ultimate desire.

Jeremy Camp shares the radio version of “Getting Started.” In addition, Camp releases the official music video, which can be viewed below. He shares about the song:
I’ve come to realize that every song feels so special when you write it. It’s an opportunity to pour out your heart and share all that God is showing you or things He’s doing in your life. It’s been like that for years of writing for me. Then every once in awhile a song comes along that stands a little above the rest. “Getting started” is one of those.
All throughout time people have searched for meaning and purpose, no matter what age or walk of life. Those that know Christ or don’t. But God truly does have a plan and purpose for each and every one of us, whether you are just starting off in life or getting to the end of it. We can get distracted, lose our way, or feel unseen and unnoticed, walk in shame, or any other thing to hold us back from all that Jesus has for us.
For those that don’t know Christ, when you surrender your life to Him you are a new creation, 2 Corinthians 5:17 “therefore if anyone Is in Christ he is a new creation. The old things have passed away and behold all things have become new.” You truly have life for the first time.
And for those that know Christ and have struggled and maybe felt like God can’t use you or He doesn’t see you or you are too far gone, The Bible says His mercies are new EVERY morning, great is your faithfulness! He welcomes you and tells you he loves you over and over again. I’m so grateful for that. So don’t ever feel like you’re a lost cause, you have a God who passionately loves you and wants to breathe new life in you no matter what age you are, I believe you’re only getting started!
Sarah Reeves’ pandemic anthem, “Years (Skytech Remix),” raises a glass to the unique moment in time reverberated around the world during the historic global health crisis.

The remix gets an assist from Skytech, elevating the ballad into a club banger fit for any New Year’s sendoff.

Soulful singer, songwriter, and GRAMMY Award nominee Andrew Ripp announces today’s release of new music with his single titled “Fill My Cup.” The audio can be heard below.
The adventure this song went on to eventually make it’s way on to my record is unlike any other song I’ve ever released. “Fill My Cup” was first written and recorded by my good friend @thad_cockrell who is one of my favorite artists of all time and also happens to be a great friend of mine. I got in my car one day and my ol’ pal bluetooth began magically playing a song that was on my phone without me thinking about it.. as soon as I heard “I’ve been walking to a city I cannot see” I knew I needed to explore the potential of making this a Ripp tune. Thankfully, when I brought it up over breakfast w/ Thad he was equally as jazzed about the idea as I was. The rest is history. -Andrew Ripp
Arkansas-based acoustic/pop duo After Grace (Cody Clark and Jerad Moffitt) releases new music with their single titled “More Than Ever.” The audio can be heard below.
“Our passion is to bring hope and encouragement to those who hear our songs,” Jerad Moffitt says. “Because of the dark season our family has been walking through, we certainly understand how difficult it is to trust God when what you see doesn’t match what you know to be true. But if we can be a glimmer of hope that reveals light and truth and perspective—even if for a brief second—our purpose for playing music is fulfilled.”
“We hope the hurting, lost and broken listener will hear this song and be reminded that while everything around us seems grim and dark, there is a Glory that awaits where all that is here on earth will pass away,” Moffitt adds. “We have an ever-present Help in our time of need. Seeing isn’t believing; believing is seeing. Hold on to Jesus tightest when the night is darkest, and He will never leave your side.”
Melanie Penn releases new music with a single titled “Look Up.”
The official lyric video can be viewed below. “Look Up” is available now to download or stream.
Five-time GRAMMY-nominated, eight-time Dove Award-winning Brandon Heath releases new music with “He Is Not Worried,” which can be heard below. This track preview Heath’s upcoming album titled Enough Already, which is set for release on April 22. “He Is Not Worried” is available now to download or stream.
Like many of his most recent songwriting ideas, the seeds of for Heath’s new songs were planted in his backyard, a place where he’s spent a good portion of time over the past year thinking, praying and mowing his steep plot of land that includes a small creek, a play set for his young daughters and a fire pit for the men’s group that meets at his house. Essentially, his backyard is the place where his next album, due in 2022, has grown.
Ironically, when the pandemic shut down touring in 2020, Heath spent an unexpected amount of time in other people’s backyards. He decided to play small, safe outdoor shows by invitation-only in select backyards across the country. These “Brandon in the Backyard” dates were so enjoyable that Heath is making plans now to play an additional 30 backyards this spring and summer. Traveling with his family in an RV, Heath leads these events with his guitar; and more times than not, he’s completely unplugged.
“It’s been this new connection with my core fanbase, and it’s made me really excited about playing and how I play,” shares Heath.
Signed last year to both Centricity Music and Centricity Publishing, Heath is not only partnering with a new label, but is collaborating with songwriters he’s never written with before and producers with which he has not previously worked. Whether creating music with new colleagues or joining longtime friends, like recently with CMA award-winner Deana Carter on stage as she headlined the famed Ryman Auditorium for the first time, Heath brings his uncanny ability to both craft and then deliver songs to audiences around the world.
