LEANNA CRAWFORD RELEASES “STILL WATERS (PSALM 23),” TITLE TRACK FROM DEBUT ALBUM OUT JULY 19TH

Singer/songwriter Leanna Crawford has released “Still Waters (Psalm 23),” the title track from her long-awaited debut album, set to release July 19^th via Provident Entertainment/Sony Music. The album is available for pre-add/pre-save on streaming platforms, along with physical copies (including a signed variation), which are available now on Leanna’s website. 

Leanna is also partnering with global non-profit organization charity: water for this album release, donating 100% of net proceeds from all pre-orders purchased on her web store to the organization. “It’s charity: water’s goal to provide clean and safe water to the 703 million people living without clean water today and I’m so excited to help support this goal,” shares Leanna.

Leanna has spent the last several years crafting this first album offering, which includes 14 songs like the fan-favorites “Make it Through,” “How Can You Not,” and “Vow To Be Yours”. The track “Still Waters” was teased nearly two years ago via the singer’s TikTok and Instagram, garnering immediate interest from fans and new listeners alike. The message of the song draws from real-life inspiration: “Great-Aunt Maurine said at 103 / Write scripture on your heart for when you need it / ‘Cause anxiety hates Psalm 23 / So just say it to yourself ’til you believe it.” Leanna’s Great-Aunt Maurine lived to be 103, but in her 40’s she learned that she was going blind. She decided to memorize as much of the Bible as she could before her sight left her. Great-Aunt Maurine led Leanna’s mom to Christ, and that influence has been passed down to Leanna. The official music video for the title track, filmed in Leanna’s home state of Washington, will debut next Friday 5/31.

“It feels absolutely surreal to say that I am releasing the title track to my debut album Still Waters,” shares Leanna. “This song has been so special to me as it was inspired by My Great Aunt Maurine. I got to meet her at 103 years old and even then she could recite almost the entire Bible and she was still impacting people all around her. My hope and prayer with this song is that you will feel peace with these lyrics and be inspired to hold God’s word deeply in your heart.”

Just before Valentine’s Day this year, Leanna released an official music video for the song “Vow To Be Yours”, a song that she surprised NBA player husband Cody Zeller with at their wedding reception. The video includes behind-the-scenes clips and footage from throughout her and relationship, including the wedding. Watch the official music video for Leanna Crawford’s “Vow to be Yours”.

Shedding even more light on their special day, Peopleexclusively shared photos from the wedding – check out the full story and more photos HERE! 

Leanna shared with People that their wedding was “a dream come true — just a perfect day” and “the most beautiful covenant we can make.” Together, she and Cody, who played center for the New Orleans Pelicans, are now looking forward to “doing life together as husband and wife.”

Lizzie Morgan Joins Provident Entertainment, Debuts First Single ‘Maybe The Miracle’

As the home to many of today’s biggest artists, songs, and songwriters, Provident Entertainment/Sony Music continues to grow its roster by announcing the newest member to its family, Lizzie Morgan. With her first solo single out now, “Maybe The Miracle,” a music video has also been released. Watch it below.

“Releasing ‘Maybe the Miracle’ holds a profound significance for me, it goes beyond being just a song; it stands as concrete evidence of God’s unwavering sovereignty and redemption,” Morgan shares. “This song is a testament that even in the midst of devastation, miracles can unfold, underscoring the truth that we are never forgotten. I am deeply grateful for the valuable lesson my Grandparents imparted, to always maintain faith in the unfailing commitment of God! My earnest prayer is that this song becomes a source of hope for the despairing, faith for the doubting, and light for those who find themselves unable to see a way out.”

Lizzie Morgan’s professional music career quickly launched in 2017 when she began singing background vocals for multi-GRAMMY Award winner Lauren Daigle. It was between tours that Morgan began honing in on her musical skills, performing with and writing for a variety of artists and projects including Matt Maher, Maverick City Music, Seasons Collective, Red Worship, and WILDER, a duo she formed with songwriter Stefan Cashwell. Their song, “Heaven’s Secrets,” achieved over 1M cumulative streams in its first year of release.

Yet it was growing up in Tennessee and being part of the church her grandparents started, Celebration of Life outside of Nashville, where Lizzie Morgan learned to sing and lead worship. Today, she continues to lead worship there while also splitting her time in San Jose, CA as part of the worship team at Redemption Church, the home of Red Worship.

“We are incredibly excited to begin this partnership with Lizzie Morgan, both on the label and publishing side,” shares Holly Zabka, President of Provident Entertainment. “We’re thrilled that the world gets to hear what she has been creating, and we can’t wait to hear more of Lizzie’s heart through these songs.”

“Our whole lives the music that inspired us, redirected us, and carried us, was always Jesus music,” CAIN collectively shares. “To the artists, the worship leaders, and the choir directors, to the parents singing Jesus music over their kids as they put them to bed, we say thank you. Keep singing Jesus music. It means more than you can ever know!”   https://www.caintheband.com/

I wasn’t concerned about if it fits in any certain pocket, I just wrote about my life experiences and the things I’m feeling and living.”

The entire project, which showcases Ellis’ giant vocals and musicality, is a mood-lifting ride of truth, vulnerability, and encouragement. “What I want people to take away from this project is a deep relationship with the Lord,” he says. “I want them to be able to have conversation starters, to be able to jam out in the car but at the same time be thinking about heart stuff. I would love to be able to empower them wherever they feel in life, to empower them to take risks and be creative and go deeper in all relationships.”   https://www.ryanellismusic.com

As a part of the final installment of the Better View project, Switch releases their latest single, “This Is The Love.” Accompanied by a lyric video, the song is an upbeat and uplifting declaration of hope meant to help listeners understand God’s love for them.

“We’re passionate about creating meaningful music that meets people in the middle of life’s difficulties and shines a light on the truth of the Gospel,” said Switch’s Cassidy Estevez.

Cassidy adds, “We hope this song helps listeners understand that in every moment—high or low—God sees them, He loves them, and He will never let them down.”

Along with the songs from Better View, Part I and Better View, Part II, the single will be featured on the Better View Deluxe album that is slated for release on June 17 (Sony Music/Provident’s Essential Worship).

Brooke Ligertwood – A Thousand Hallelujahs (Lyric Video)

After six mainstream albums with Sony Music under maiden name “Brooke Fraser” and – in parallel – 17 years with Hillsong Worship, which she currently heads up globally, Brooke Ligertwood is combining her two decades of experience as an artist/producer and her passion for serving the church through worship music in one vertical, uncompromising project: “SEVEN”

“SEVEN” is an album of entirely BRAND NEW worship songs, written by Brooke and husband/long time collaborator Scott Ligertwood, Jason Ingram (who is co-producing the album with Brooke), Ps. Steven Furtick and other friends spontaneously in 2021 (as Brooke says, “I never had a worship album on my heart until the Lord made it clear He had it on His”).

“SEVEN” features a band comprised of gifted and anointed musicians from the breadth of the modern worship movement (Hillsong, Bethel, Vineyard), a 30 piece choir and a collection of stunning new prayer-soaked songs written and arranged in line with Brooke’s singular vision with Jesus at the center.

Ahead of the February album, Brooke has released this newsong of worship ‘A thousand Hallelujahs.’

About Zach Williams
Zach Williams’ powerful and poignant journey spans how a boy with a storybook childhood filled with wonderfully nurturing parents, a strong and supportive grounding in the church, and a warm and loving local community was seduced away by the illusion of rock stardom, and the drug and alcohol excesses that can so often accompany that lifestyle.
These days, the Jonesboro, Arkansas-raised and currently Nashville, Tennessee-based artist is a renewed man. He’s a husband, a father, and has also become one of CCM’s leading artists and songwriters by carving a niche with his singular blend of southern rock, country, and faith-filled songwriting, which quickly awarded him his first GRAMMY Award® with his debut album, 2017’s Chain Breaker. With two additional GRAMMY nods among numerous other accolades, he now returns to share his boldly vulnerable and hope-filled sophomore album, aptly titled Rescue Story.

Zach’s music pulls from the hard luck truths of outlaw country, the dirt-road grit of southern rock, the contemporary roots music of alt-country artists, and a firm grounding in classic and contemporary Christian artists that stretches back to his dad’s old Petra records. His songs enlighten and uplift, revealing powerful transformative moments and stirring affirmations to stay on God’s path. For more information, visit: https://www.zachwilliamsmusic.com/

Introducing Ryan Ellis

Ryan Ellis, a singer, songwriter, and worship leader, is the newest member to join the Provident Label Group/Sony Music family. Debuting his single “Heart of the Father” is also out now, which can be viewed below.

“This song was written in a season where I was really discovering the grace of God and His kindness, patience, and mercy,” Ryan Ellis shares about “Heart of the Father.” He continues, “I was a worship pastor living in a city called Isla Vista, California. The goal behind our ministry was to show the people in the party city that it doesn’t matter where you are or what stage of life you’re in — there’s always going to be the grace and love of God waiting for you. He always accepts us exactly where we’re at, and walks alongside us. I feel like this song shows what it is to be a believer and how we’re called to walk and love people. I hope this song blesses you.”

His name may be new as a signed artist, but Ryan Ellis has been preparing for this moment his entire life. With songwriting talents that have allowed him to pen songs for Matt Redman, Natalie Grant, Meredith Andrews, Steven Malcolm, House Fires, and more, he also wrote Chris Tomlin’s “Resurrection Power,” earning him a GMA Dove Award nomination and ASCAP’s “Most Performed Song” award in 2018.

Accolade, however, is not the fuel of Ellis’s fire. He shares, “I’m a devoted husband and father first. I have a deep love for Jesus and the way that songs draw people in to experience Him, to be inspired and encouraged, and ultimately to let them know that they are loved. Music is the language that everyone can understand, and it’s all I know how to do.”
