Unspoken Releases “What He Says About You” Ahead Of Fourth Full-Length Album Set To Launch Later This Year

Radio Single Follows Over Half-A-Billion Streams Since Band’s Formation

RIAA Certified Gold®-selling Centricity Music band Unspoken releases its first radio single of 2024, “What He Says About You,” which will be featured on the group’s fourth, full-length studio album set to release later this year. The single is available now at digital and streaming outlets globally via https://unspokenband.lnk.to/WHSAY and follows three No. 1 Billboard radio songs, 11 Top 15 hits, over 350,000,000 on-demand streams and more than 152,000,000 music video views racked-up since Unspoken’s formation in 2014.

Written by Unspoken’s Chad Mattson and Jon Lowry along with Ethan Hulse, Tyrus Morgan, Tedd T, Tony Wood and Chris Stevens, “What He Says About You” was produced by Stevens (TobyMac, Carrie Underwood) along with Thomas Toner (Jelly Roll, Upchurch).

 “There are one million voices vying for our attention. Social media, news, culture, peers, not to mention the voices in our heads. It’s a struggle to hear the truth among the lies. We wrote this song with our daughters in mind, wanting to remind them that there’s only one voice that really matters: the Voice of Jesus,” says Mattson referencing John 10:27-28. “I don’t know what voices you’re hearing today, but the word of God always brings us back to reality in truth. You are loved, chosen and treasured. That is the truth. Don’t give power to lies you may tell yourself or that are spoken over you, because truly, the only thing that matters is what He says about you.”

“The world will tell us it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks about us, it only matters what we think about ourselves. But Paul shows us we can’t even trust our own feelings,” adds Lowry referencing 1 Corinthians 4: 3, 4. “Only through trusting what God says about us can we have true freedom from the lies others tell us and the lies we tell ourselves. And what does God tell us? As we place our faith in the finished work of Christ, the Father sees us and says, ‘you are my beloved child in whom I am well pleased.’”

Chorus:

You are loved

Chosen

Long before the day you were born

You are held

Forgiven

Treasured more than you’ll ever know

When the lies get loud

Let the truth ring out

Till the only thing you’re listening to

Is what he says about you

The new music follows Unspoken’s God Help Me 2023 EP featuring the “God Help Me” music video that has that has been viewed more than 2.8M times on YouTube alone and 2019’s Reason, whose title track became the band’s biggest multi-format chart-topper to date. The album also produced a pair of Top 15 radio singles: “You’ve Always Been” and “Just Give Me Jesus.”

Apollo LTD Releases First Album In Three Years, Hello Human

Lead Single, “Future’s Calling,” Ascends Radio Charts

Residence/Centricity Music’s cinematic, alternative-pop duo Apollo LTD releases its first album in over three years, Hello Human. The duo’s third album and follow-up to 2021’s Nothing is Ordinary, Everything is Beautiful features hit radio singles “Redemption Song,” Soul Worth Saving” and newest single, “Future’s Calling.”

All of the songs on Hello Human, were written by Apollo LTD’s Jordan Phillips and Adam Stark or co-written by the duo with hitmaking songwriters Paul Duncan, Hank Bentley, Jeff Pardo and Ethan Hulse.

And in that process we learn what it means to be a little closer to human in the way God intended.”

 “God gives meaning to the human experience,” adds Stark. “This is an album about waking up to the life God intends for us. While we are here on Earth for a short time reconciling the way it is with the way it was meant to be, Jesus serves as our blueprint for how to be human. The message of the gospel frees us in a way that nothing else can so that we can become the image bearers God intended. Or at least a little bit closer every day, hopefully.”

“We’ve all been through seasons of our life where we’ve felt hopeless,” shares the Apollo LTD duo jointly on its Instagram about Hello Human’s current radio hit “Future’s Calling.” “This song is about holding on to hope and joy and choosing to believe that the future is gonna be better than you can imagine.”

“Future’s Calling” chorus:

I know you’re lonely

And your broken hearted

Always fighting to find your way

You’re barely holding on, holding on, holding on

But all you need is just a little faith

The future’s calling your name

The full Hello Human album track listing follows:

01) Breakthrough

02) Dreaming

03) Soul Worth Saving

04) Future’s Calling

05) Run

06) Living Proof

07) Say So (Broken Halo)

08) A Day In The Life

Ryan Stevenson Celebrates His Identity in Christ with New Album

Following a season of listening, learning, and pressing into the promises of God, GRAMMY®-nominated, Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter RYAN STEVENSON returns with ABLE. His fourth full-length Gotee Records release, the highly anticipated eight song set—all co-penned by Stevenson—is a celebration of his identity in Christ.

The album’s opening track and latest digital single, “Closer” was written by Stevenson, Ethan Hulse and The Afters’ Jordan Mohilowski. Featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday Christian and Pandora’s New Christian Music Now, as well as other leading playlists, “Closer” depicts a watershed moment in Stevenson’s understanding of grace.

“I was raised in a strict religious environment, and I saw God through a lens of fear, wrath, and moodiness, thinking He was always disappointed in His creation,” Stevenson explains. “But in this last season, the Lord quietly led me out into a wilderness where He could get face-to-face with me. I believe He did this out of kindness and jealousy for my wholeness, to settle a lot of questions and doubts I’ve lived with for many years.”

“For the first time ever, I’ve become rooted and established in my beloved identity,” he adds. “The Holy Spirit has begun to peel off layers of insecurity and fear of rejection. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says we are ‘the righteousness of God,’ and Galatians 2:20 says we ‘have been crucified with Christ’ and that everything connected with the old flesh has died. This revelation has pierced my heart and brought me tremendous freedom and a passion for helping others see Jesus through the same lens.”

ABLE is also highlighted by the title-cut and debut single, a soul-stirring testimony of God’s faithfulness written by Stevenson, Blake NeeSmith and Jeff Pardo. In addition, the poignant “Carry Me,” which Stevenson co-penned with Micah Kuiper and AJ Prius, holds a particularly special meaning.

“’Carry Me’ is the deepest expression of how I’ve felt over the last three years,” Stevenson shares. “It’s been a daily prayer for me, having dealt with tremendous fear, uncertainty, and feelings of rejection. I experienced a lot of loneliness in this last season, and simply asking God to carry me felt like the prayer of a child longing for his dad.”

Katy Nichole, Big Daddy Weave Declaration “God Is In This Story” Hits No. 1 At Radio

Song Tells Of God’s Faithfulness Through Even The Most Difficult Of Times

Centricity Music’s Katy Nichole and Curb | Word Entertainment’s Big Daddy Weave land on top of the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart this week with “God Is In This Story.” The single is featured on Nichole’s self-titled debut EP and marks her second consecutive, and Big Daddy Weave’s eleventh, No. 1 song.

Created following Nichole’s story of physical suffering from scoliosis, resulting depression, hope and eventual healing, and after the passing of Big Daddy Weave founding member Jay Weaver earlier this year, “God Is In This Story” and its compelling concept video became a resounding declaration for both artists.

Cowriting the song with Grammy®-nominated songwriters Ethan Hulse and Jeff Pardo, Nichole affirms, “There’s no story that doesn’t matter to God. Every story was written by Him, and He’s the greatest author of all time. If you truly believe with your whole heart that God is good, even in the hard times of life, then you’ll see how He was in your story the entire time. People can see God through us when we tell our stories, and that’s how they’ll know how faithful Jesus truly is. It’s really amazing how something I once thought of as my story has become our story.”

Big Daddy Weave’s Mike Weaver shares, “We are so grateful for how this song has been received, and equally grateful for how it has spoken to us during one of the hardest times of our lives. God has used it to remind us that He is with us through the hurt, and how valuable that is.”

Nichole is currently on tour with Jeremy Camp before joining Matthew West next month for a series of events. The 2022 Dove Award-nominated artist then wraps up her year on the K-LOVE Christmas Tour.

Big Daddy Weave is headlining their Only The Beginning tour this fall with guest artists Austin French and Hannah Kerr and are in preparations for their Spring 2023 tour.

KATY NICHOLE AND BIG DADDY WEAVE COME TOGETHER TO SAY “GOD IS IN THIS STORY”

New Radio Single for Both Artists Tells of God’s Faithfulness

Through Even the Most Difficult of Times

Centricity Music artist Katy Nichole and Curb | Word Entertainment band Big Daddy Weave join together to release “God Is In This Story” today (June 10) to radio, digital and streaming outlets everywhere. The song is the new radio single for both artists and is being jointly promoted by Centricity Music and Curb | Word Entertainment

The relationship between the two artists began when Nichole was invited by Big Daddy Weave to join them on select dates during the band’s spring 2022 tour, which was her first-ever series of tour dates. Shortly thereafter, she shared with Big Daddy Weave her song “God Is In This Story” that was co-written with Grammy® nominated songwriters Ethan Hulse and Jeff Pardo, and asked if the group would record it with her.

The release arrives at a poignant time for both artists, with Nichole’s testimony of physical and mental suffering and subsequent healing reaching 150+ million through the viral phenomenon of her first single and record-breaking multiformat Billboard No. 1 hit, “In Jesus Name (God of Possible),” and Big Daddy Weave’s mourning the passing of founding member Jay Weaver on January 2, 2022.

Big Daddy Weave lead singer Mike Weaver shares, “It’s been a really difficult season of saying goodbye to my brother and missing him, but also a time of realizing that there’s so much more for us to do. This is a song of hope, a song of encouragement, that God really is present with us in all of the seasons of our lives – the really great ones and the ones that are difficult. God is not giving up on us. He is in the details of our lives. We can trust Him that He is working things together for our good.”

“The one thing that we all have in common is that we all have a story to tell,” adds Nichole. “Looking back on my life, I always thought, ‘Oh, my story is too broken, and no one is going to want to hear about that.’ But what I didn’t know is that people were actually seeing Jesus through my story, because God was turning the broken things into beautiful things. So if you think that your story is too broken, I promise you that it’s not because God is in it.”

God is in this story

God is in the details

Even in the broken parts

He holds my heart, He never fails

When I’m at my weakest

I will trust in Jesus

Always in the highs and lows

The One who goes before me

God is in this story

(Lyrics are from song’s chorus)

About Katy Nichole:

Long before 150+ million people around the world heard her “In Jesus Name (God of Possible)” chorus, Katy Nichole was singing in her church choir. By 14, she was writing songs and leading worship. Her relationship with both music and God is inextricably intertwined with her path to health and wholeness. Having served as both an ambassador for the Shriners Hospitals for Children® and as a volunteer for Musicians On Call, 21-year-old Nichole created the K-Love Fan Award-winning “In Jesus Name (God of Possible)” from words in her prayer journal that were written in the midst of a global health crisis and in response to her own story of suffering, hope and healing chronicled at https://www.instagram.com/p/CcOQDlxvobh/. Named a YouTube “Trending Artist On The Rise” for the song’s concept video that has been streamed nearly five million times, Nichole’s hit single continues at No. 1 on the iTunes Christian & Gospel Songs chart, holding that top spot virtually every week since it released Jan. 26.

Katy Nichole Debuts “In Jesus Name (God Of Possible)” Single Following 80 Million TikTok Streams – Read Her Amazing Story!

Singer/songwriter, and new Centricity Music signee, Katy Nichole swiftly turned into a viral sensation thanks to her debut single, “In Jesus Name (God of Possible).” Becoming a sound-track for millions on TikTok and Instagram before being released to digital and streaming outlets internationally last week, the song was penned in the midst of a global health crisis and found its genesis in Katy’s own story of suffering, hope and healing.

Sharing her unwavering belief in God’s ability to heal and the power of prayer, Katy’s debut single is connecting with audiences around the world who are looking for healing and restoration in a weary and anxious world. In just a few short months following her post of the “In Jesus Name (God of Possible)” chorus on TikTok, the song had been heard more than 80 million times. The chorus was inspired by one of Katy’s multiple journal entries that proclaims, “I pray for your healing / That circumstances would change / I pray that the fear inside would flee / In Jesus name / I pray that a breakthrough would happen today / I pray miracles over your life in Jesus name.”

Enlisting David Spencer and Grammy®-nominated songwriters Ethan Hulse and Jeff Pardo to help her finish the song, Katy says, “This song is one of the greatest gifts God could ever give me. I want to be a good, faithful servant to the Lord. I’m just grateful to be His vessel.”

“Katy is a special and rare combination of vocalist and songwriter all wrapped in an incredible story of God’s faithfulness,” says John Mays, Senior Vice President of A&R, Centricity Music. “That story is woven through every song and every step of her journey in some way, and we feel privileged and excited to now become some part of the work God is so obviously doing through her life and music.”

“Katy’s story is such a reflection of God’s grace in her life. It permeates every song she writes and every song she sings,” says Steve Ford, who stepped away from his role as General Manager of Centricity Music to manage Katy Nichole, as well as Centricity Music band Unspoken. “There is such authenticity and originality in her art that I wanted to be involved in any way I could.”

“We met Katy around a year ago and were impressed with her love for God and the hard work she’s shown to pursue this calling,” says Jeff Roberts, Founder, Jeff Roberts Agency. “She’s an incredibly gifted young writer with the talent to translate those songs to the live environment. She’s also surrounded by a great team, and we’re looking forward to where the Lord leads this journey in the years ahead.”

Prior to writing “In Jesus Name (God of Possible),” Katy was diagnosed with scoliosis and underwent surgery to straighten her spine, which led to persistent post-surgery pain that sent her into a bedridden mental and emotional spiral. Three years later, Katy went back in for an operation to essentially remove the metal rods and screws that had been placed in her back.

“I go into the second surgery, and I come out of it, and the smoke cloud of depression was gone. I encountered the Lord in that moment,” Katy remembers. “When I got my X-rays after surgery, my spine was actually straighter than when the rods had been in it. So when I say that God can do miracles, I mean it, because I’ve seen it.”

Serving as both an ambassador for the Shriners Hospitals for Children® and as a volunteer for Musicians On Call, her healing has also emboldened her to be an advocate for others facing health challenges. It’s further given her a new direction for her music—and her life.

“There’s no story that doesn’t matter to God. Every story was written by Him, and He’s the greatest author of all time,” Katy declares. “God’s healed me, so I know He can heal someone else. I’m going to share my story and hope it will encourage others to go and share theirs.”

While her first single is a worshipful anthem ready-made for roomfuls of people to sing, it only reveals one facet of this multidimensional artist who is working on her debut album now, again drawing from her journal and well of life experiences.

Hymn of Heaven is Phil Wickham’s 8th Studio Album

PHIL WICKHAM has released his eighth album, Hymn Of Heaven (Fair Trade Services). Encompassing 13 songs, including his multiple-week No. 1 hit “Battle Belongs,” the anticipated project is the follow-up to his 2018 release Living Hope, which features the RIAA Gold®-certified single and GMA Dove Award for “Worship Recorded Song of the Year” of the same name.

Throughout the process of crafting new music during a global pandemic that created unprecedented obstacles for the local church, Wickham saw an opportunity – the church wasn’t relegated to a building. It was happening in our homes and in our hearts.

“Hymn of Heaven is full of praise and thankfulness, just lifting up the name of Jesus and speaking what we really know the reality is even though we don’t see it,” he says. “All I want to do is facilitate moments where people can encounter the presence of God.”

Collaborators who joined Wickham to write for Hymn of Heaven include multi-GRAMMY® winners Jonathan Smith (who also produced the album), Jason Ingram, Ethan Hulse, Brian Johnson, Ricky and Ran Jackson, as well as Passion City’s Sean Curran, Hillsong’s Chris Davenport, Bethel Music’s Kalley Heiligenthal, and Brandon Lake, who is featured on the track “Where I’m Standing Now.”
