Riser House/Columbia Nashville #1 hitmaker Mitchell Tenpenny enlisted the help of Grammy-nominated performer Danny Gokey to record a new version of his smash hit “Bucket List.” The two powerhouse vocalists, who connected through a mutual friend, spar it out on the refreshed track available today. The song, written by Mitchell, Chris DeStefano and Laura Veltz, was originally released one year ago on New Year’s Day 2021. The “Bucket List” (lyrics here) original version is included Mitchell’s current EP Midtown Diaries that was released in September. Get the Mitchell/Danny version HERE.

The singers carved out time from their busy schedules this month to shoot a music video for “Bucket List” at the Melrose Church at Fiddlers Grove in Wilson County, Tenn. The film was shot with Director Tristan Cusick. Watch it below.

“‘Bucket List’ is about trying to live everyday like it’s your last. You never know how long you have on this earth, so you need to try and live it to the fullest,” shared Mitchell. “I’ve been a big fan of Danny’s for a long time, his voice is so incredible. And even though this song has been out for a while now, I felt he could bring the song to the Christian music community, and I knew no one else could do it better. He’s completely changed this song. I’m honored and grateful he would do this with me.”

“I love the sentiment of the song and love the lyrics,” said Danny. “I hope that people absorb the lyrics and start living life like never before.”Later today, Mitchell will headline the Capital One Orange Bowl Fan Fest before the 2021 College Football Semifinal game at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.

 Three-time GRAMMY nominee Danny Gokey releases his new studio album, Jesus People, available here (Capitol CMG). Leading up to this release, Gokey has been releasing songs and music videos from the album showcasing his musical diversity and eclectic style. Throughout the project, Gokey’s songs touch on love, gratitude, and truth.

“I believe there is something musically and inspirationally for everyone on this album – it’s full of hope and encouragement that I think we can all use right now,” Danny Gokey shares. “For the most part, my music represents how I grew up and the culture of the United States – our melting pot. Growing up I listened to Christian music, gospel music, country music, hip hop music, and Spanish music. It was all a smorgasbord. If anyone knows me, they know I love diversity and differences – and now more than ever we need to come together despite our differences. On this new album, musically I got to explore some new things and cross some genre borders. I’m excited for listeners to hear the collaborations with the special guests featured on the project, including Gospel, Latin, and even a little rap.”

“I believe there is something musically and inspirationally for everyone on this album – it’s full of hope and encouragement that I think we can all use right now,” Danny Gokey shares. “In the writing process and also in choosing the title, I was inspired by the life of Jesus and how His presence has been a staple throughout history. He was a figure that brought the broken, the hurting, and those that had lost their dreams together in a unifying way, and that’s something I inspire to do. Musically, I got to explore some new things and cross some genre borders. I’m excited for listeners to hear the collaborations with the special guests featured on the project, including Gospel, Latin, and even a little rap. It’s something I love doing and hope to do more of in the future.”

Jesus People features songs with artists such as Koryn Hawthorne (“We All Need Jesus”), the Spanish song featuring Christine D’Clario (“Cristo Es Necesario”), and Angie Rose (“Do For Love”), and the album’s flagship song, “Stand In Faith,” just went for adds at radio, becoming the most-added single in the genre. Most of all, throughout the project Gokey’s songs touch on love, gratitude, and truth.

“Jesus said they would know us by our love,” states Gokey, one of the repeating themes on the album. “What is love? Love is patient, love is kind, love is long-suffering, love does not envy. It does not seek self. I think the best way we can show love is by living love. People can say, ‘I love you’ all the time, but I can tell through your actions how you actually feel. I think love is the key. Love is what fuels and changes things and really, meets people right where they’re at with no strings attached.”

Last week, Gokey’s newest single “Stand In Faith” went for adds at radio and was the most added single in the genre. This song will appear on the forthcoming album. Jesus People follows his widely successful 2019 release Haven’t Seen It Yet. That project produced the newly certified RIAA-certified Gold single of the same name, which was his second Gold-certified career single and his fifth radio No. 1 radio.

In step with many of the messages from his songs, Gokey continues to give back to the community as he has from the start of his career, which began during his time on “American Idol” during Season Eight as a Top 3 finalist. His foundation, Better Than I Found It, is a nonprofit organization established to support and encourage other non-profits who are making a difference in their community. Gokey’s foundation partners and walks alongside other organizations to help them move to the next level for the most impact.
