Curb | Word Entertainment’s Stars Go Dim welcomes country singer/songwriter and Curb Records recording artist Hannah Ellis on new seasonal song, “Home,” available today (10/29). The bright, nostalgic duet previews Stars Go Dim’s forthcoming holiday EP, The First Noël, arriving Nov. 6. Listen to “Home (feat. Hannah Ellis)” HERE.
Penned by Stars Go Dim’s Chris Cleveland, Molly Reed Grayson and Josh Bronleewe several years ago, the official recording of “Home (feat. Hannah Ellis)” captures the universal feeling of making the annual pilgrimage back to a place that’s filled with a lifetime of sweet memories and the people you love. Kentucky-native and Nashville-transplant Ellis—who’s written songs recorded by Francesca Battistelli, Sidewalk Prophets and for KING & COUNTRY, as well as numerous country artists such as Carly Pearce, Russell Dickerson, Emily Weisband, Cassadee Pope, and Filmore, among others —is the perfect addition to the cut rooted in family and faith.
“Ever since we moved to Tennessee, we’ve loaded the kids, the dogs and the presents up each year and made the trek home. This song tells that story perfectly. I couldn’t be more excited to have Hannah Ellis jump on this song with me and really take it over the top. I hope you love it, and I hope it reminds you of your family traditions like it does my family,” shares Cleveland of his yearly trip back to his home state of Oklahoma that inspired the track, adding, “Truth be told, my mom has had the demo for years, and it is the only Christmas song that has made it into the playlist at her house during Christmastime that isn’t the Kenny & Dolly Christmas record! This is the true story of what going home for Christmas is for my family.”
The highly relatable track follows the release of the Christian pop hitmaker’s fresh take on “The First Noël,” the namesake of Stars Go Dim’s upcoming six-song EP. Bestowing a worshipful bent to the timeless classic, Cleveland adds a soaring chorus he penned with Jeff Pardo, who also produced the selection. Listen to his elevated version of “The First Noël” HERE.
The two new Christmas offerings come on the heels of Stars Go Dim’s brand new single, “Yes He Does,” the most added song at Christian radio this week and the artist’s first taste of new music since 2019’s Better. Cleveland performed a stripped-down version of the track during a recent taping of “Acoustic Storytime”—also featuring host Jason Gray and fellow singer/songwriters Michael Farren and Hannah Kerr. The monthly in-the-round concert is set to air on SiriusXM’s “The Message” next month. Listen to the powerful new song HERE, and watch the accompanying music video HERE.
Stars Go Dim will debut new music out on the road through the end of the year, sharing the stage with fellow label mate Dan Bremnes and Cleveland’s “10000 MINUTES: THE EXPERIMENT” podcast co-host Tim Timmons on select dates.

Curb | Word Entertainment recording artist and songwriter Sarah Reeves transforms “Winter Wonderland” into a Christmas duet with soulful singer and “American Idol” finalist Clark Beckham. Together, the two artists trade vocals on the holiday standard, out today (10/29). Listen to the elegant rendition of “Winter Wonderland (feat. Clark Beckham)” HERE. Following Reeves’ Big Band version of “Go Tell It On The Mountain,” today’s release of the timeless classic unwraps the next sampling of fresh holiday music leading up to her eight-track Christmas album, More The Merrier, arriving Nov. 12. Pre-order/pre-save the upcoming collection HERE.
“‘Winter Wonderland’ is one of the first songs I play every year at the beginning of the Christmas season,” shares Reeves. “It is simple, classic; and I was so excited to record my own version. I asked my friend, who is an incredible artist named Clark Beckham, to join me on this song. He was the perfect addition. I hope this song brings a magical feeling of warmth and nostalgia this Christmas.”
Earlier this summer, Reeves dropped poignant original track, “Years,” which she penned at the height of the global pandemic as a positive ode to an unprecedented year. Listen to the building anthem of hope and perseverance HERE, and watch the official music video HERE. Produced by Mike Cervantes, the introspective “Years” was co-written by Reeves, Ian Keaggy and John-Luke Carter and serves as the first taste of new music from Reeves since Life Love & Madness debuted in the Top 5 of the iTunes Singer/Songwriter album chart upon release last fall.
For the remainder of the year, Reeves’ focus will be on sharing seasonal selections as she preps for the release of More The Merrier. The holiday set combines the unmistakable vintage charm of Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole with the warmth and nostalgia of the Vince Guaraldi Trio, allowing the revered songstress to experiment in the studio where she tracked her vocals alongside live horns and lush strings on four originals and four holiday favorites.

Curb | Word Entertainment’s Love & The Outcome are spreading holiday cheer with the release of “Christmas Lights,” out today (10/29). The upbeat, joyful song finds the husband/wife duo of Jodi King and Chris Rademaker remembering the reason for the season, even if Christmas doesn’t look quite the same this year. Listen to the festive track HERE.
Love & The Outcome wrote “Christmas Lights” with Mark Campbell (for KING & COUNTRY) and Benji Cowart (Big Daddy Weave, Natalie Grant, Danny Gokey) in the wake of their Nashville home flooding back in March. With the holiday season in full view, it became clear that the Canadian duo and their two young sons wouldn’t be in their new home in time for Christmas. So they decided to turn lemons into lemonade with their latest holiday single.
“We wanted to write a song for everybody, like us, who is going through a different kind of Christmas,” shares King. “We have lived in five different rentals in five months since our house flooded, and this Christmas is going to feel pretty different setting up a tree in a rental apartment. But you know what, no matter where you are, no matter what you’re going through, the King has come to make our burdens light. So we wrote a really fun song, and we hope it brings you lots of joy this season.”
In addition to dropping an original Christmas track, the couple has relaunched their popular “Love & The Outcome Podcast.” A brand-new episode recently premiered where Jodi and Chris discuss what to do when the Bible feels too scary to read to your kids—a situation they’ve encountered on their own parenting journey. While some episodes share a simple, insightful discussion between the two hosts, others spotlight conversations with friends and fellow artists, including Bob Goff, Natalie Grant, Ellie Holcomb and Mandisa—all of whom were featured in Season 1.

Carry,” the latest in a string of inspired new singles from Juno and GMA Canada Covenant Award-winning singer/songwriter Elias Dummer, is now available. A tender song of gratitude acknowledging the depth of God’s fatherly love towards His children, the track features acclaimed singer/songwriter JJ Heller.
Penned by Dummer along with Tim Timmons, Steve Fee and Brad Burke, “Carry” was co-produced by Dummer and Brent Milligan. Resting in the knowledge that “There is no season, no sin, and no sorrow/To keep You from carrying me in Your arms,” the message of the single resonates deeply with Dummer.
“It might seem clichéd, but I’m often reminded of the old ‘Footprints’ poster, because it’s true; God really has carried me—and each of us together—through so much difficulty, hurt and wrestling in this life,” he shares. “Only when we look back on the road we’ve traveled can we see that. Ultimately, it’s genuine communion and closeness with God that we all seek, so with this in mind we wrote ‘Carry’ as a delicate song—almost a lullaby—to remind us that God, as the Father He is, desires to carry us through the challenges we face.”
“Having worked together on the video for The City Harmonic’s ‘Holy (Wedding Day)’ years ago, I couldn’t help but hear JJ Heller’s voice on ‘Carry,’” Dummer adds of the duet. “I’m thrilled we had the opportunity to work together again on this song.”
“Carry” marks Dummer’s third new single this year and arrives on the heels of last month’s “The Gospel Is Rest.” The latter track features acclaimed duo Land of Color and offers a balm for weary souls in the throes of troubled times. Additionally, Dummer’s “Expectation” released in July, the energetic hit single proclaiming Christ’s promises and His kingdom to come. All three songs will be featured on Dummer’s full-length studio recording set for release next year.
Elias Dummer co-founded and fronted one of Canada’s most acclaimed worship bands, The City Harmonic. As the group’s principal songwriter, he helped pen such hits as “Holy (Wedding Day)” and “Mountaintop,” as well as “Manifesto,” which served as the theme song for 2011’s National Day of Prayer and was the walkup music for Major League Baseball player Seth Smith. The City Harmonic earned 12 GMA Canada Covenant Awards and a Juno Award (Canada’s GRAMMY® equivalent), before disbanding in 2017.
Dummer released his solo debut, The Work Vol. I, in 2019 and was named Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the 2020 Covenant Awards. In addition, his debut single, “Enough,” spent 26 weeks on Billboard’s Christian Airplay chart. With more than 65 million lifetime streams to date, Dummer’s music—both as a solo artist and with The City Harmonic—appeared on charts in more than 30 countries around the world in 2020 alone.
Multi-award-winning and platinum-selling artist Hillsong UNITED announced the release of their brand new digital single, “Sure Thing.” Out now with accompanying music video, “Sure Thing” is a powerful dedication to the unwavering foundation that is the love of God. Listen to the new song here and watch the visual below.
Through soaring melodies, the new song brings into contrast the unsteady nature of the world and the solid dependability of Jesus’ grace and God’s Kingdom. “Sure Thing” suggests that while storms, wind and earthquakes render shaky ground, faith and divine providence offers steady reprieve. “Empires may fold/Pillars fail people fall/But Your word still stands,” the song conveys, “…all other ground is sinking sand.”
Produced by Nathaniel Redekop and Danniebelle Whippy and directed by Ricardo Guzman, the music video was filmed between Sydney and Los Angeles and seeks to highlight faith as the only constant in a world that is ever changing. Between flashes of earthly elements and daily life, from nature to concrete buildings, a wanderer is lifted from the ground as the chorus swells—seemingly transformed by the music. By the end, everything has turned upside down—an allusion to the upside-down nature of the Kingdom of God.
“’Sure Thing’ is a prayerful declaration that reminds us of the truth based in God’s word and that we live in a world where everything that can be shaken will be shaken,” says UNITED member Jonathon “JD” Douglass. “But God’s word and purpose for our lives are good and will remain. It’s a song that we can sing with boldness and trust in the fact that, whatever is going on around us, we can have confidence that God is still in control. We can trust that Jesus is stronger than any challenge or circumstance we may face. ‘Sure Thing’ is about making the decision to not do this journey of life on our own–so that we don’t get caught up in the sinking sand in life that can leave us confused, disoriented and full of fear. Instead, we can build our lives on the solid rock that is Jesus and His word. On that rock, we can look to the future with the knowledge that He is working all things together for good. Our prayer is that this song will give you confidence and faith in Jesus, for He is our sure thing.”
It was recently announced that Chris Tomlin and UNITED will co-headline their long-awaited 2022 “Tomlin UNITED” Tour which includes 33 dates across the U.S., making stops in major markets including Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Miami and two shows in the New York area. Anticipated to be the biggest Christian music tour of the year, the Tomlin UNITED Tour will welcome thousands of fans each night to worship together and experience songs that have shaped modern faith today.

As you listen and enjoy Matchless King, take the time to reflect on his grace and love for humanity.”
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. – 1 Peter 2:5Prior to the release of ”Matchless King”, Titi has released beautiful singles like: My Mama Oh featuring Joel Eze, I’m Alive, Heaven, You are My Audience, Jesus, Great God (Reloaded), Celebrate The King.
