Each June, music fans around the world come together to celebrate the indelible influence that Black musicians have made on culture with Black Music Month. To mark the month, Amazon Music has worked to put together a brand-new slate of content that honors the legacy of the Black artists whose music soundtracks our lives and defines our culture.
Throughout the month of June, Amazon Music has invited some of the most exciting Black artists across a wide spectrum of genres to record a new collection of brand-new Amazon Originals songs. Debuting Fridays in June, the series kicks off today with a brand-new cover of “Falling in Love with Jesus” from two-time GRAMMY-nominated gospel artist Koryn Hawthorne.
“This song is so special to me because it’s what I live for. Regardless of life’s circumstances the love and comfort of Jesus has pulled me through,” said Koryn Hawthorne. “Releasing this song during Black Music Month is also important to me because Gospel music is the foundation of Black American music, and the message is a reminder of healing and strength.”

Darryn Zewalk is an award-winning Christian singer-songwriter, author, podcast host and motivational speaker. He has received multiple awards and honors for his work in Contemporary Christian music, including a Tulsa Music Award in 2017 for Best Overall Artist and Christian/Gospel Artist in 2018.

Recorded during the pandemic, Zewalk’s newest single, “Impatient,” is a tribute to two of his uncles and his father, who sadly passed away in April and June of 2020. In order to honor his father, who was always a strong supporter of Darryn’s music, he chose to release the song on the one-year anniversary of his father’s passing. Darryn said that when he would start getting impatient about things, his dad would always say, “The Lord will take care of it.”
Internationally renowned singer/songwriter and worship music icon, Don Moen, has released a new song, “Return To Me.” The song was written as Don was studying the Bible. Moen says: “God really has our attention these days as we’ve been going through this pandemic. “Return To Me” was written as I was reading from 2 Chronicles 7:14. The verse says that God will heal our land if we turn from our wicked ways. That’s what we need today – we need God to come and heal our land. If we return to Him, He will return to us. That’s my prayer today – for you, for me, and for all of us.” The lyrics of the song call upon the people of God to return to Him, humble themselves and refocus their hearts and priorities on God.
Mac Powell, former frontman of the four-time GRAMMY Award-winning band Third Day, has released his new song, “River of Life,” available today. This song is from his forthcoming solo album, which will be on his new label Capitol Christian Music Group. This upbeat anthem is the perfect song as summer begins.
“It’s interesting that within the medical community the bloodstream is called the ‘River of Life,’” shares Mac Powell. “We as believers know that our TRUE life comes from the grace and mercy of Jesus – poured out from his sacrifice on the cross. In John chapter 4, Jesus shares with the woman at the well – Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. Let us all partake in this River of Life that is given by our Savior!”
Powell’s vocal prowess is known all over the world from his years with Third Day. He brings his decades of experience and soulful delivery of heartful and relatable lyrics to this new song and upcoming album.
During the last year, Powell continued to share his music safely with fans as part of the Drive-In Theatre tours with Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith and this spring with Zach Williams and newcomers CAIN. He’s been performing the new song on tour to a rave reaction from the concertgoers.
