“I can’t even believe this is real, exclaims Branan Murphy. I have worked so hard, and prayed for so long to be in God’s will as it pertains to making music for people.

God is so good and so faithful.”
Paravel Founder, Sam Fisher, who has worked with Branan for nearly a decade saw this latest achievement as a validation of sorts. “I remember the day Branan turned in “This World Is Not My Home”. I called him and said, ‘mark it down—this song will be the biggest of your career’. I always thought it had a shot at some real success, especially having Dream as a promotion and marketing partner. The fact that I could be a part of Branan’s first #1 record after everything we’ve been through, makes this accomplishment that much sweeter.”
The song has reached new heights with audiences and retailers for Murphy. Upon the release of “This World Is Not My Home” it saw key features on Apple Music’s Risers, Amazon’s Fresh Christian and Christian Hits, SOZO’s Top Christian Hits, Pandora’s Today’s Christian Hits and YouTube’s Christian-Pop Party, Christian Music on the Rise and Christian Goes Pop playlists.

Up-and-coming pop rock band Right Hand Shade is initiating a new wave in the genre of Christian music with the release of their studio album Rise.
Filled with tracks that are relevant and timely, arising from global and personal experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, Rise is a collection of songs about God, His faithfulness, His freedom, and His way of bringing unexpected miracles in our lives. Lead single “Free” kicks off the album with a celebratory surf-rock sound, with Beach Boys-esque vocal layers built around a hooky electric guitar riff. The lyrics are equally full of life, propelled with the freedom of finding our identity, hope and future in Jesus: “Breaking free from gravity, I’m walking on thin air, I can feel you lifting me above the atmosphere.”
“This I Know” is another standout on Rise, a tight, groove-driven R&B outing. The powerhouse vocals are rooted in the assurance of knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that no matter what we’re facing, our Father goes before us. In the face of a global pandemic that spread fear and confusion in so many, Rise is an anthem of hope for all who will listen.
Musically, the album’s other 8 tracks range from more surf-rock tunes, to groovy R&B rhythms powered by raw and smoky vocals, to contagious rock-driven outings. With Rise, Right Hand Shade explores new creative territory with all the confidence gained from the success of their 2019 debut self-titled album.
That same confidence holds throughout the duration of Rise, which is Right Hand Shade’s second studio album. The band, which is comprised of Matt Jones (lead vocals, keys), Taylor Specht (lead guitar), Nick Dunfee (rhythm guitar, bass) and Kevin Donovan (drums, bass), collaborated with producer Chris Hoisington (Paul Baloche), recording with Eric Anderson at Old Bear Records in New York. All of the lyrics and music on Rise were written by band members Matthew Jones and Taylor Specht, and their skilled songwriting focused on such themes as hope, truth, justice and eternity. Nashville’s Evan Sieling rounded out the creative team by mixing and mastering Rise. With Hoisington at the helm, the band recorded with both lo-fi and hi-fi approaches, ultimately layering and weaving the lo-fi and hi-fi into one fresh and coherent sonic landscape.
For more than five years, the New England-based pop rock band has leaned full-throttle into their gifts, performing on stages across the country. Right Hand Shade has managed to build a loyal following and unite Christian music lovers through their music. Rise clinches their position as one of the fastest-growing Christian acts in the Northeast.
Cochren & Co. released the official music video for “Waiting for this Moment,” which can be viewed below. The track, from the group’s album Don’t Lose Hope, is available now to download or stream.
Worship leaders and songwriters Pat Barrett and Dante Bowe collaborated on a stirring ballad, “Nothing / Something,” which garners attention for its powerful message.
In our world where we can tend to measure ourselves or define our worth by how many followers, likes, views we have on our social media platforms, or struggling for identity or our voices to be heard, the lyrics of “Nothing/Something” remind us in the end, loving ourselves and loving others is what matters…nothing else. Watch the beautiful live music video performance below.
“In the end, what truly matters? We all want our lives to mean something,” shares Pat Barrett. “I think that’s why the message of this song hits me so hard. For me, it cuts through the noise of shallow, self-obsessed living and opens me up to a higher perspective. I don’t want to get to the end of my life and feel the sorrow of meaninglessness. It doesn’t have to be that way. Jesus presented a path to deep eternal joy and meaning rooted in divine love. And that message doesn’t have a shelf life. It’s timeless. And even more, it’s eternally significant. Writing and singing this song with Dante was such a powerful experience. For me, this song has been a beautiful confrontation to any message that promises soul fulfillment apart from love.”
Since the release of the song, it has been gaining online traction. It is the top-performing video on Barrett’s YoutTube channel above his No. 1 single “Build My Life.” Currently, the video has 435.5K views on FaceBook and YouTube as well as 485k audio streams to date.
“‘Nothing/Something is such a special song,” states Dante Bowe. “When Pat asked me to feature, I was honored. This song will stand as a constant reminder of the fact that we are all called to be like Jesus. Love is who Christ is. Without love, we wouldn’t be here. Without love, we wouldn’t have freedom. Without love, it all means nothing. With love, we can fulfill our purpose as people surrendered to the Lord. Love is the cause. With love, life is worth living.”
Earlier this year, Barrett release his 17 track studio project, Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly, (Bowyer & Bow / Capitol Christian Music Group). He followed that release with a special live EP Nothing / Something (Live), which features songs from the new studio project with guest artists like Mack Brock, Chris Tomlin, and this new song with Dante Bowe.
In September he will be headlining his “Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly – Worship Nights Tour” (produced by Transparent Productions and sponsored by Food for the Hungry) followed by the “Singalong Tour” with the powerhouse lineup of Barrett, Phil Wickham and Brandon Lake for an in-person, one of a kind worship atmosphere featuring both solo and collaborative performances.
