Gold-selling, Dove Award-winning pop recording artist and songwriter Jordan Feliz not only releases his song “Next To Me” that Parade says is an “inspiring pop piece” that “you’ll feel like dancing along to,” but also reveals that his full-length album Say It is set to release Dec. 18 from Centricity Music.
“I feel like ‘Next to Me’ is one of those songs that had to be written,” Feliz says. “I have struggled my entire life with giving God full control of my life. I would always give him facets of my world that I was comfortable with. Yet, I always knew He was lovingly pushing me to follow the compass he had designed to bring me back, by his side closer than ever. So, this song is a push to give Him all your baggage, your ego, control and whatever else you think you should hide away. Because when you do, you find yourself closer to the Father than you ever thought possible.”
Watch the official music video for “Next To Me” below:
Eloho’s journey back to the music scene is definitely worth the wait. Known to have released series of singles and a body of work which was received with warmth across the globe.
The Scotland based singer took almost four years break to build platforms that will support millions of Christian artistes across the world. This feet was achieved with the birth of Heartsong Live an online 24/7 dedicated Christian radio.
Eloho returns with a totally new sound in her new song ‘In Your Name’. According to Eloho “I am super pumped to share “In Your Name” with you. It was July 22 2019 I was in my kitchen and in my usual manner was singing my heart away when I started to hear the words “There’s is power in your name, there is healing in your name, chains are broken in your name” I quickly recorded it on my phone and sent it to Nana my producer, the rest is history as they say. This song has personally blessed me, and I trust it will bless you too.
In Your Name is song anchored on Jeremiah 10:6-7 “Lord, there is no one like you! For you are great, and your name is full of power. Who would not fear you, O King of nations? That title belongs to you alone! Among all the wise people of the earth and in all the kingdoms of the world, there is no one like you.” In Your Name is a simple song to remind us that whenever we call on His name he answers. The potency in the name of Jesus is relevant every day. Our duty as believers is to call on Him and he will be right there.
Nigerian Christian Hip Hop recording artiste Angeloh comes through with an impeccably timed single dubbed Come Alive.
In dark times we are bound to trip all over the place; and shadow boxing in the dark is the worst time to battle the enemy. But when the light comes: whether you’re confused, seemingly defeated, or already a valley of dry bones; YOU WILL COME ALIVE!!
– Angeloh
Angeloh was among the young folks who took the cue to start a prayer walk amidst the police brutality protest in Nigeria. The prayer walk which was held on 11th of October at Ikeja, Lagos had a tremendous turn-up. The wave has since spread across to other cities in Nigeria.
CalledOut’s brand new single ‘Other Side’ is a nice sequel to his summer tune ‘Joy’. They both have light-hearted, bright and catchy lyrics that remind us of the reason why we love CalledOut Music so much. His songs are such a blessing and refreshingly apt for the times.
‘Other Side’ is packed full of encouraging and calm- ing lyrics that points listeners to God’s ability to see us through life’s challenges. The rhythmic and acoustic sound of “Other Side” is guaranteed to help one disconnect from all the noise around and find strength through hard times with an assurance of God’s unfailing love.
The release date happens to coincide with a time when young people in Nigeria, are conducting peaceful protests against police brutality. In a recent post on social media, CalledOut said, ‘Seeing many videos of my brothers and sisters being murdered for NO REASON by a police force that’s supposed to protect them is upsetting! With all the injustice go- ing on in our world, there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. Justice will prevail and as always, God will be glorified. We’ll all make it out the Other Side! ‘
‘Other Side’ was written & performed by CalledOut Music, and mixed & mastered by Whiteblock Group, cover art by Naomi Starx and graphics by Jabrand design
Todd Galberth is not content with the 75 million streams his self-penned anthems such as “Lord, You Are Good,” “For My Good” and “I’m Getting Ready” (as recorded by Tasha Cobbs Leonard & Nicki Minaj) have earned him over the last four years. The rising star and praise and worship leader is destined to add several more millions of streams to his career tally with an exciting new track, “Better Than Good” (Stella’s Boy Music), which debuts at No. 1 on Billboard’s Gospel Digital Songs Sales chart for the week ending October 17, 2020.
Galberth laughs that his friends have said the new song should complete his trilogy of “good” songs. “They said I can’t use the word good anymore,” he jokes. “I was working on the next album and wanted a good upbeat corporate song. I went to Todd Dulaney’s live recording in Chicago and he had a lot of great songs and I was inspired. I started looking back at my life and I started humming this melody and it all came at once. Good came up again. I can’t get away from it. The Lord is so good. I do not deserve this wife I have. I don’t deserve these children, this success, this life that I live. If it weren’t for the goodness of God, it would have all fallen apart. I can give you 14 accounts where I should have been dead, but God pulled me through and kept it together, so I started singing that He is better than good and that was the song.”
In spite of some twists and turns, Galberth’s journey has been a good one. A native of Raeford, NC, his father, James, was a carpenter, and his mother, Stella, a technician. He has a brother and two sisters. “I grew up in church,” he adds. He was saved at the Mt. Sinai Holiness Church at the age of 16 – that’s also when he started leading worship. “It wasn’t because I was thought of as this great singer,” he says sans pretense. “Somebody didn’t show up and there was a spot to fill.”
After graduating from the North Carolina School of Telecommunications, Galberth became a background vocalist and eventually, an actor, in touring plays such as “A Woman’s Gotta Do What a Woman’s Gotta Do!” and “If Loving You is Wrong.” Along the way, he shared stages with theater veterans Carl Payne, Freddie Jackson, and Ann Nesby. After promoters started missing his paychecks, he decided to get a 9 to 5.
On the weekends, he led worship at World Overcomers Church in Raleigh and during the week, he worked in the public school system. “My wife had just had our baby, we had bought a house and I lost my job,” he recalls.” I was like, what’s going on? I’ve never been fired from a job. I was between a rock and a hard place. I didn’t tell my wife. She thought I was going to work. I was hanging at a friend’s house playing play station. I was depressed. I asked God, what I was supposed to do? He said, Am I still good? I thought about it and said,Yes, Lord, you’re good’ and that’s when that song came to me.”
Galberth taught “Lord, You Are Good” to the church worship team and they began to sing it on a regular basis. A YouTube video of one of the team performances introduced the song to other churches around the globe and it developed a life of its own. Gospel star, James Fortune, caught wind of his talent and began to work with him too. “Someone from my church knew him and connected me,” Galberth explains. Fortune recorded his tunes “The Curse is Broken,” featured me on another track entitled, “Forever,” and had him perform in his backing group.
By 2016, Galberth formally released “Lord, You Are Good” and watched it skyrocket to No. 1 on Billboard’s Gospel Digital Song Sales chart. “It grew legs on YouTube… churches were singing it for two years before I released it to radio.” That was also the year that he was asked to fill-in for a vacationing worship leader at Redemption (now Relentless Church) Church in Greenville, SC. “I went to fill-in and they wouldn’t let me leave,” he laughs.
Another miracle came through the church. “We were in spontaneous worship one day and this song about getting ready’ came to me. I led the worship team in doing several choruses of it. When I got home, I wrote it. I remember saying to my wife, Vanessa, I think Tasha [Cobbs Leonard] would kill this. I didn’t know if she was recording anything new or anything. Two weeks later, she called me and said she wanted me to be a part of her new recording and I told her about the song. She said, to send it to her. I did and she said,Let’s do it.’ Then, for Nicki Minaj to get on it later was something I never imagined.” It zoomed to the top of multiple Billboard charts and earned a BMI Gospel Song of the Year Award for 2019.
Since then, Galberth has been on a roll. “Have Your Way,” a collaboration with Jabari Johnson, reached No. 4 on Billboard’s Gospel Digital Song Sales chart in 2017. He followed up with “For My Good” which soared to No. 5 on the same chart in 2019. “Everything came through serving,” Galberth says. “I never sought any of this out. I’m not that type of person. I’ve seen people who know how to maximize an opportunity but I’m still learning all of that, but I never wanted to be anyone who cheated and schemed to get to a certain place. I just kept coming into contact with people who believed in me and would pass my name on. I believe that if something is my opportunity, then it’s my opportunity and no one can take it away.”

The performance was recorded live at The Belonging Co in Nashville, TN. “Heaven Invade” will be featured on Jobe’s upcoming The Blessing(Live Album) set to drop on October 23rd (Capitol CMG).
“This song is a declaration for the Church. We declare Heaven to come down to Earth commanding every heart and soul to awaken in His presence. Don’t go back to being complacent or quieting your praise based on your circumstances. There is true freedom, healing and never ending joy in His presence. Let Heaven invade your hearts and souls today!” – Kari
See the light breaking through All the lies with the truth Hear the sound of the wind Let the roar of Heaven begin
Can’t stay silent Can’t stay still When You show up in power Glory revealed Can’t stay silent Can’t stay still When I feel the fire Feel the ground shake
Heaven invade Heaven invade There’s freedom in this place Every heart awaken Everything is changing now Heaven invade
Broken hearts on the mend All depression must end All the shame and the fear Run away when You’re here
My heart starts to race And I can’t contain The feeling of joy Being in Your presence I Can’t help but dance Can’t help but sing And I don’t really care what Anyone thinks
American Christian Hip Hop artist NF spontaneously gifts fans a special music piece dubbed Chasing Featuring Mikayla Sippel.
I posted a clip the other day of a song and was honestly shocked at how much you guys liked it. Every project I do there are a couple of songs that I hold back or just don’t feel like work and this was most likely going to be one of those songs. A day or so after I posted the clip I heard a cover a fan did of it and I was blown away by it. Long story short, my producer Tommee and I took her audio and ended up finishing it for you guys! Thank you Mikayla Sippel for letting us use your amazing voice and inspiring me to actually release it.
