Bayou queen Bri Babineaux has racked up over 200 million digital streams, been sampled by the likes of Kanye West, and is one of the few artists Drake follows on Instagram.

The Louisiana native’s first urban foray “I Will Wait” hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Gospel Airplay chart for two weeks earlier this year and has amassed over ten million digital streams. Babineaux has reteamed with seasoned R&B tunesmith and “I Will Wait” co-writer Makeba Riddick (who co-wrote Rihanna’s “Rude Boy,” Jennifer Lopez’ “All I Have,” and Beyoncé’s “Deja Vu) on an assertive new anthem, “Confident” (Bri Babineaux Music / Tyscot).

The ladies recruited some soulful gentlemen such as gospel singer Juan Winans, urban inspirational artist Jor’dan Armstrong alongside Lionicio Saenz Jr. (who’s written for R&B hitmaker Ro James) to flesh out the song’s lyrics and concept under the watchful eye of producer Slikk Muzik (aka Rickey Offord) who’s produced the likes of Ariana Grande and Chris Brown.

“Confident” isn’t just a song for Babineaux. It’s her new mantra. Recently divorced, and suddenly a single mother of a toddler, Babineaux is harnessing her faith with her personal resolve to persevere as an independent young woman with entrepreneurial pursuits.

“I’m at a place that’s both scary and exciting,” says Babineaux. “On one hand I’m out here on my own but then again, with God, I’m never alone. I’m just exploring new opportunities. I’m stretching myself as an artist, I’m pursuing some enterprises and I’m also raising my son Eli. I’m just figuring it out as I go and I’m confident that God ha sgot my back and is charting my path.”

Babineaux first hit No. 1 on the Billboard Gospel Airplay chart with the country-tinged, “He’s My Rock,” in August 2021. Over the last decade, she’s racked up millions of digital streams for her signature songs such as “Make Me Over,” “My Hands Are Lifted Up,” and “Set A Fire.” She first rose to fame, dramatically belting out the song “Make Me Over” a cappella from a couch.

Within months she had millions of followers such as Rihanna, Brandy, Justin Bieber, and Drake. Kanye West sampled Babineaux’s dramatic vocals on “Lord, I Need You” from his 2021 Donda set. Her songs have been programmed on both Gospel and R&B DSP playlists alongside R&B divas with a spiritual side such as H.E.R., Koryn Hawthorne, and Queen Naija.

Over the weekend, four-time Grammy Award-winning rap artist Lecrae responded to Kendrick Lamar’s recent mention in his latest song by dropping his own version of the untitled track.

K. Dot’s new track, unofficially titled “Watch the Party Die,” dropped last week wherein he name-dropped the Christian rapper, with lyrics stating “I wonder what Lecrae would do?” The Anomaly rapper responded to Kendrick via a freestyle on Instagram – and Lecrae’s dynamic verse is just as impactful: “I was wrestling, like, should I write a verse? / The culture got enough clout-chasing vultures out here trying to prove they worth / They need attention, they can’t imagine me not trying to make myself look bigger off of this Kendrick mention / I can’t imagine his position.”

Lecrae’s version mirrors Kendrick’s tenacity on the mic, and he incorporates his own life experiences into the music. Instead of using a worn-out black pair of Nike Air Force 1s as the cover, the Reach Records co-founder’s rendition features a white pair of AF1s. With a conversational tone, he brings a sense of relatability to listeners which in turn creates a sanctuary for vulnerability and acceptance.

On the new freestyle, Lecrae shares: “I didn’t want to respond initially. I didn’t want to come off as a clout chaser, but when Dot said my name, people reminded me the world was listening and I should be responsible with that.”

Now, there’s no need to wonder what Lecrae would do.

Renowned worship leaders and songwriters Bryan & Katie Torwalt released a brand new song, “Clean Heart” today. This marks the husband and wife duo’s first release outside of Jesus Culture since 2010.

“After writing this song from our hearts to the Lord with our friends Hank Bentley and Austin Johnson over two years ago, we finally have finished it and can’t wait to share it with you guys,” share the Torwalts. “It’s not been an easy one, guys, and to warn you, this one might bring a tear or two as the kindness of God leads us to repentance.”

The Towalts have helped usher listeners into worship since their debut album in 2011. Since then, the duo has released impactful songs such as the GRAMMY® Award-winning song “Holy Spirit,” “When You Walk Into The Room,” their No. 1 radio song “Miracle In The Works,” and “My Hallelujah.” Their 2022 release, I’ve Got Good News, marked the couple’s first-ever live recorded album, which produced the well-received song “Sound Mind.”

Aaron Williams presents a brand-new version of his CCLI Top 100-charting song, “Abide,” featuring Jon Reddick. The song, which unpacks the beauty of the words of Jesus found in John 15, has been echoing with thousands of people since its initial release.

“Abide” voices an honest anthem of surrender at a time when society looks down on dependence, inviting listeners to remain in the Lord. In writing this song, Williams portrayed abiding with the Lord as a “long obedience in the same direction” rather than a religious routine.

This new version of “Abide” serves as a heartfelt prayer for those seeking to deepen their relationship with God and experience his presence more fully. Williams hopes that this song will encourage each listener to cling to the Lord, believing that all who do will witness the unwavering faithfulness of God in every season.

Anchor Hymns releases “All In Your Hands,” the second single from their upcoming project recorded live in the mundane-meets-divine settings of Black Abbey, a Nashville brewery.

The new song has a raw edge and folky feel that make it easy for listeners to step into worship and lay their burdens as they sing of the Lord’s control. From creation to incarnation, the song reminds us of the supremacy and intimacy of Christ. Written by Leslie Jordan, Antoine Bradford, and Ricky Vazquez, “All In Your Hands,” is sung by the latter alongside Melanie Penn.

“Oh Wonder” is the name of the new song releasing today by Sam Bowman on DREAM Records.  The Texas native wrote the song with inspiration in Psalm 8 celebrating the majesty and power of God.  The song was both self produced and self written by Bowman.

“So often, it’s easy for us to lose a sense of ‘wonder’ when we look at the world around us- how sad is that? Not only do we live in a beautifully designed world that testifies to God’s glory, but we get to see all of Creation’s fulfillment in Jesus Himself! I wanted this tune to be a simple and happy reminder of the ‘wonder’ that we can experience in Him.” – Sam Bowman
