Over the last decade, Brandon Camphor & OneWay (BC1Way), a dynamic East Coast collective comprised of four lead vocalists – Brandon Camphor, Julia McMillan, Angela Jones, and Fred Cleveland have used their heavenly harmonies to lead music lovers only ONE WAY, to Jesus! As a result, the collective has earned four hit singles on the Billboard Top 30 Gospel Airplay Chart: “God of Mercy,” “His Name,” “You Are God,” and their biggest hit yet, “I Choose You” (which peaked at No. 21 in 2015). “God Of Mercy,” debuted as the #1 most added song on Gospel Radio with over 1 million streams on Pandora.
Their latest release, “Celebrate,” is a fresh take on Bishop Gary Oliver’s classic, “Celebrate Jesus.” BC1Way put an unexpected and delightful spin on the gospel favorite, renewing it with a beautifully blended four-part harmony which has become their signature. “We are excited to introduce the song to a brand-new generation while ensuring that the same gospel message is preserved and celebrated. There’s only ONE WAY to celebrate Jesus, and that’s every day!”
BC1Way’s “Celebrate,” is a reinterpretation of “Celebrate Jesus,” originally written by Bishop Oliver for a children’s Easter program in the late 80’s and officially released in 2000. “I am honored and excited my song has found new life through Brandon Camphor & OneWay. Their harmonies capture the spirit of the song and breathes new life into it for today’s generation,” expresses Oliver.
The most exciting young vocal group in today’s musical landscape, BC1Way, stylistically blends Christian pop, and contemporary Christian, and urban gospel music into a unique hybrid is contemporary yet honors the past. Recently the inspirational vocal group recently released an a cappella rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” which reintroduced The Black National Anthem, to new generations. The celebration will continue into the holiday season with a 2021 Christmas album, Celebrate Jesus! “Celebrate” is available now to download or stream.

The Dove Award-winning hip-hop artist released His Glory Alone, the 13-track album in the fall last year, garnering attention with the hit songs “10K,” “Armies,” and “Lil Boy,” along with a Dove Award nomination in 2020 for “Armies” in the category of Rap/Hip Hop Recorded Song of the Year. The album’s been hailed for its mix of hip hop, trap production, worship, Latin sounds, and more. Earlier this year, KB partnered with the multi-platinum hit Christian group Casting Crowns on the anthem “Start Right Here (HGA Version),” which was released in late January.
The Color’s new single, “Stranger” (DREAM Records) releases today to all digital retail providers today. Their new single is bound to draw attention. “Stranger” is available now to download or stream.
Written with Bede Benjamin-Korporaal and Jessie Early, and produced by Bede Benjamin-Korporaal (Hillsong Young & Free, Passion, Chris McClarney), “Stranger” is nothing short of a musical journey that showcases a wide array of instrumentation and vocal range. The song marks the band’s fifth release off their highly anticipated upcoming album, No Greater Love releasing October 22nd.
Frontman Jordan Janzen shares some insight into the songwriting process. “This song was a blast to both write and record. When we wrote it, we envisioned it being led on a piano. We were aiming for a classic, ‘movie soundtrack’ vibe, almost like a ‘James Bond’ theme song or ‘Lauren Daigle’s ‘Still Rolling Stones’. But once Bede took all of the pieces and started building up the production, it took on a life of its own. I think there are well over 200 tracks recorded on this tune. It was complete madness in the studio. I love it! I think it’s got swagger.”
The song reflects on experiencing God’s love, but falling prey to the human condition and losing sight of what we had. Thankfully, God’s love doesn’t waver with our inconsistency. It is steadfast and gracious and that shouldn’t surprise us because, having experienced it before, we are not a stranger to it.
“Weary Traveler,” the empowering single from BEC Recordings artist and songwriter Jordan St. Cyr, drops today accompanied by a lyric video and story behind the song, and both can be viewed below. Already being added by stations around the U.S. and impacting listeners everywhere, here are just a few of the fan comments that have been pouring in:
“I love this song! I will be the first to download this Sept 10th! Every time I hear it on the radio I cry. [A] powerful song!”
“[The] song really ministered to my heart when I heard it at your concert last night.”
“I just heard this entire song on the radio. Amazing! It is so pertinent to so many right now…Looking forward to its release and consider myself blessed for hearing it!!”
“Wow! I just heard this song on the radio. Beautiful.”
“I heard this song on the radio for the first time and I had to pull over! I was soooo into it and crying! Can’t wait to be able to download this and when I do it’s gonna be on repeat!!”
“My song ‘Weary Traveler’ is one that sings the journey a lot of us are on right now,” St. Cyr shares. “You know God has given us this amazing and beautiful life, but we still get those days and seasons that can leave us run down and worn out. For me and my family navigating the chronic illness of my youngest daughter has been impossible at times, but what has made it all worth it is that knowing we were never meant to walk in our struggle alone. I believe that one day we will find complete rest and healing when Jesus calls us by name. And that one day soon we will make it home.”
“Weary Traveler” follows St. Cyr’s career hit single “Fires,” which appeared on the Billboard Christian Airplay charts for 45 weeks and climbed in the top 5. “Fires” has been played on major networks and stations for more than a year, reaching millions weekly.
St. Cyr is ready to take these songs and more live when he heads out on Colton Dixon’s Miracles Tour this fall. Kicking off Sept. 18th in Ohio, the tour will run through November. Beginning December 1, St. Cyr will then join the K-LOVE Christmas Tour along with Casting Crowns, Mac Powell, CAIN, and Dante Bowe. Sure to get in the holiday spirit, concertgoers will also be able to hear St. Cyr’s new holiday song, “Rejoice,” during the tour. Be sure to visit his tour page for the latest information.
