NFN New Music Review – BROOKE LIGERTWOOD : Bless God. (Capitol CMG)

Brooke needs no introduction, as she’s one of the most popular female artists around. I was looking forward to hearing this new EP, but my heart sank when I realised that it was filled with 5 versions of the same song. Still, on we go. The first version was recorded live from Passion 2024 and features Brandon Lake and Cody Carnes. The song itself is typical “big church” fodder – a contemporary worship song. The recording is very good and I could envisage the power of the live event. The second rendition is co-titled ‘Every Chance I Get,’ Was it a different song? Not really, it just seems to change into spontaneous worship. Then, we get to a Radio Version, followed by an Acoustic Version. By now, I was completely deflated by, what seemed to be, the same vocal track to yet another musical backing. In it’s own right, it’s a fine song, but the same thing, five times over was just too much for this reviewer to handle.  8/10 for the initial song, but 4/10 for the rest of it.

NFN New Music Review – Mac Powell : Like It’s Nothing. (Capitol CMG)

“I know it may sound crazy, but I still believe in miracles,” shares Mac Powell of the new song’s inspiration. “All of these amazing things that we read about in the scriptures – from God parting the Red Seas, Elijah calling down fire from Heaven, to Jesus healing with just a touch – I truly believe these things, in some ways, still happen. And God does not grow tired or weak in doing these mighty things. I pray we all will continue to have the kind of faith that sees God working today!” Beginning with a machine-gun drum intro, a blues guitar soon joins in. As Powell sings, he’s accompanied by a full sound, complete with a funky keyboard, too. In fact, once the backing singers join in, the song moves into rock gospel territory. Mac sings of God moving mountains and the fact that there’s nothing He can’t do. Sadly, the song is less than two and a half minutes long. Just as it gets going, it stops! There’s nothing wrong with the vocal quality, it’s typical Mac Powell, but not the best thing he’s ever recorded.   6/10.

NFN New Music Review – ELLIE HOLCOMB : All of My Days. (Capitol CMG)

All of My Days, is a beautiful collection of curated Psalms that have personally carried her through difficult times as well as played an encouraging role in the lives of her listeners through her “Memory Mondays” where she sings Scripture verses to songs each week. Songs on this release are backed by acoustic instruments, with the occasional strings and percussion added here and there. The title track is based on Psalm 23 which tells of dwelling in the house of the Lord, and giving thanks for His goodness and mercy. ‘Where Can I Go’ (Psalm 139) is a light song that swings gently along, with n engaging quality. Ellie’s vocals are crisp and clean throughout and, possibly at their best on ‘I Lift My Eyes (Psalm 121). It’s a reminder that the Lord watches over you day and night, wherever you may go. The tempo raises slightly on the folk influenced ‘My Heart is Steadfast’ (Psalm 108), where I found myself tapping my feet along to the rhythm. Finally, we get to ‘Thy Word’ (Psalm 119). It’s another delicate little song. Putting the meaning of the Psalms to music, Ellie has created a little gem of a release. My only disappointment was that there were only 7 tracks.   8/10.

PLATINUM-certified, GRAMMY-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson’s banner street week continues as tickets for her 28-stop headlining The REBEL Tour are on sale now. The coast-to-coast tour will stop in major markets across the country with special guest Jordan Rowe, including Wilson headlining Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium for the very first time on Sept. 25, 2024. General onsale begins this morning at 10 a.m. local time at www.annewilsonofficial.com.

“I’m so excited to hit the road this fall on The REBEL Tour!” shares Anne. “We’re going to be playing some amazing venues all across the country and it feels like a dream come true! Ever since writing and recording this new record, I’ve been waiting for the chance to take REBEL on the road. I’ll be counting down the days till show No.1. Can’t wait to sing with y’all!”

Wilson’s momentum continues to surge as she notches the No.1 spot at Christian radio during REBEL’s street week with her empowering anthem “Strong,” marking Wilson’s third career No.1. The single, co-written by Wilson, Jeff Pardo and Matthew West has already garnered over 32M global streams to date. She also recently became the only female artist to have three No. 1 singles across the Mediabase Christian AC and Mediabase Christian Audience charts since she first launched on the scene with “My Jesus” in 2021. LISTEN: REBEL

Last week, Wilson commemorated the groundbreaking release with a performance of her loud-and-proud title track “REBEL” on The 3rd Hour of TODAY. The record has been lauded by fans and the industry alike since its April 19 release, as People.com dubs her “one of contemporary music’s freshest new voices, regardless of genre,” while Billboard praises its “faith rooted Country sound.” GRAMMY.com echoes the sentiment, noting Wilson’s ability to “hit the bullseye between contemporary Christian and Country twang,” and The Tennessean recognizing her “folk-aimed soul and countrified pop passion.”
