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.

Hello Human is an album about the human experience and discovering how God relates to us in every aspect of it. The ups and the downs. Joy and sorrow. Pain and beauty,” shares Phillips. “As God meets us where we are, He equips us with eyes to see things as they truly are. 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)

Centricity Music Signs Multi-Platinum® Songwriter, Recording Artist Mack Brock; First Single, “Just Like You’ve Always Done,” Releases Friday, Nov. 3

Centricity Music announces the signing of Multi-Platinum® songwriter and worship leader Mack Brock. The first single releasing in the new partnership, “Just Like You’ve Always Done,” will be available, today, Friday (Nov. 3) at digital and streaming outlets internationally via https://fanlink.to/JLYAD.

“Centricity is excited to add Mack to its roster of artists and writers,” says Centricity Music CEO Caren Seidle. “He brings a legacy of writing, recording and performing music for believers and music lovers everywhere around the world, aligning perfectly with Centricity’s mission statement.”

“With over fifteen years of friendship and making music together, I am truly honored to join Mack in this new chapter of his life and music,” adds Centricity’s Director of A&R, James Duke. “Mack’s love of Jesus and heart for the Church is inspiring, and I can’t wait for the world to hear these songs.”

The anthemic “Just Like You’ve Always Done,” which was produced by GRAMMY-nominated Hank Bentley (Jeremy Camp, Crowder, Danny Gokey) and co-written with Bentley and Jessie Early, boasts of the consistency of God yesterday, today and forever.

“It’s the launching pad of what we believe,” Brock says of the fresh track. “He is the same as He’s always been. He’s the same God that’s the lead character in all the stories we’ve read in Scripture. He’s still working miracles.”

The strength of Brock’s new single and upcoming songs to be revealed from Centricity Music in the coming months rides on the hope he finds in the unfolding story his family is living. The South Carolina native and his wife, Meredith, who serves as the CEO of Proverbs 31 Ministries, have three children. From the unexpected joy discovered in foster parenting to leaving the known to pursue the unknown, Brock writes songs to remind his own heart and encourage others that there’s an all-knowing God who is sovereign over it all and is worthy of all our praise.

“With my music, I’m just trying to relive all the times God has shown up,” says Brock. “I want to use that as a catalyst to build my faith and, hopefully, encourage others in their faith as well.”

As a former, founding member of the GRAMMY Award-winning Elevation Worship, Brock co-wrote some of Elevation’s earliest hits, like RIAA certified double Platinum® single “O Come To The Altar,” Platinum-certified “Do It Again” and Gold® track “Resurrecting.” After a decade with the worship band, Brock released his debut, Greater Things, which garnered him a radio hit with the title-cut. The five-track Covered EP followed the next year, and 2020’s SPACE cemented Brock as a bonafide solo artist. He has also written songs recorded by Phil Wickham, Jesus Culture, Passion, Pat Barrett and Bryan & Katie Torwalt, among others.

This is my redemption song

My heart cries hallelujah

Who I was is dead and gone

Heaven won’t stop singing over me

This is my redemption song
