Ten-time GRAMMY nominee Tauren Wells returns with a new single – “Come Home.” Against an ominous, beat-heavy backdrop, Wells takes an unflinching look at the harm done by hypocrisy. In the gritty, soulful call-and-response chorus, he offers an alternative, envisioning home as a place of steadfast, unconditional love. Listen HERE. The track, which was produced by Tedd T, is from Wells’ new album, Joy in the Morning, which is set for June 10 release.

In the official video for “Come Home,” a one-shot, continuous take live performance with full band, Wells roams the rooms of a beautiful yet deserted house. Performing the song with raucous urgency, he rips the coverings off the furnishings and, along with his bandmates, infuses the home with life once more. Directed by Micah Bickham (Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande) and Steven Lester (John Mayer, Needtobreathe), the video was shot in Nashville.

On May 29, Wells will co-host the KLOVE Fan Awards with Matthew West at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville. On August 5, he will headline the second night of KLOVE’s multi-artist concert at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Get tickets for Red Rocks HERE.

“Come Home” follows “Empty” – a song that Wells debuted on the “Tamron Hall Show” in April, bringing tears to the eyes of the show’s host. View his performance HERE. Fans who pre-order the digital edition of Joy in the Morning will instantly receive “Come Home,” “Empty” and “Fake It” (feat. Aaron Cole). See below for the full track listing. The album, which is Wells’ third full-length release and first for Capitol Records/CCMG, is also available for pre-order in Wells’ online store along with an exclusive line of Joy in the Morning merchandise.

Tasha Cobbs Leonard on “The First Noel”: “This song kind of brings up a holiday memory. When I was younger, my aunt would take a group of kids from our church. So it was our youth ministry, honestly. And we would go caroling from house to house. You don’t see that that often now, but this kind of takes me back to that memory of caroling from house to house.”

Tauren Wells on his version of “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays”: “I love the groove of the song. You can tell that the guys in NSYNC were just having a lot of fun with it. But we slowed it down in my version a little bit, changed the pocket up a little bit, so you really feel of groove to it. I love music that has that pocket, that groove and rhythm to it that just gets you moving, gets your head bobbing, and really gets you in the feeling for the season.”

Earlier this summer, the Care It Forward program by Cracker Barrel was launched to help amplify care and connection. As part of this initiative, Cracker Barrel also partnered with musical artists to help lead by example with small and large acts of care. We were able to talk with CeCe Winans, and her mentee, Tauren Wells, about their participation in the program.

Singer and Care It Forward partner Tauren Wells helped one special fan create the ultimate proposal moment. Josh Rivera and his girlfriend, Rebekah Facciuto, met at Cracker Barrel on Sept. 21, 2020, in a chance encounter. After meeting on the restaurant’s front porch, the pair decided to have lunch together and the rest, as they say, is history. The video of the proposal can be found HERE, on Josh’s Facebook page along with the cover photo of Tauren and the happy couple.

Since music is a major shared interest for the couple, Josh’s dream proposal was to have the couple’s favorite singer, Tauren Wells, perform their favorite song at Cracker Barrel where they met, and he reached out to the restaurant on a whim. Cracker Barrel jumped at the chance to care it forward and worked with Tauren to make this couple’s dream come true.

Last month, Lakewood Music, the music team at the Houston-based 50,000-member church pastored by Joel Osteen, made its debut under a new multi-year distribution and publishing administration agreement with Re:Think/Capitol CMG (a Universal Music Group company) with the release of “In the Name” (featuring Kim Walker-Smith).

Lakewood Music drops its second live track,  “I’ve Got A Fire” featuring Tauren Wells. The first full-length album under the freshly minted deal, Whatever May Come, releases August 27, 2021.

Multi-Award winning artists H.E.R. and Tauren Wells premiered the video for their popular new duet, “Hold Us Together (Hope Mix)”. The video was directed by director / artist, child. 

In March, the two artists released the “Hope Mix” of “Hold Us Together,” originally recorded by H.E.R. for the soundtrack of the Disney+ film Safety. Written by H.E.R. and Josiah Bassey, the song shares a timely message of hope and encourages listeners to hold on through difficult times.

Both H.E.R. and Tauren Wells have firmly established themselves as dynamic and trailblazing artists who are helping to change today’s music landscape. H.E.R. is fresh off of two GRAMMY wins for Song of the Year (“I Can’t Breathe”) and Best R&B Song (Robert Glasper’s “Better Than I Imagined” featuring H.E.R. and Meshell Ndegeocello) and earning an OSCAR for Best Original Song (“Fight For You” from the award-winning film Judas and the Black Messiah).

Beloved for his platinum and gold-certified Contemporary Christian Music hits “Hills and Valleys” and “Known,” Wells released his second studio album, Citizen of Heaven, in 2020. An eight-time GRAMMY Award nominee, he received two nods at the 63rd annual awards for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song for “Famous For (I Believe)” featuring Jenn Johnson and Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for Citizen of Heaven. Wells just received a 2021 Billboard Music Award nomination in the Top Christian Song category for his multi-week No. 1 single “Famous For” (I Believe) with Jenn Johnson.
