REVERE gathered artists from the United States and South America to craft songs of intimacy and renewed devotion in the summer of 2021. One of the first fruits of this now global movement of worship was “Behold (King of Glory),” a song written by Sarah Kroger, Dwan Hill, Jessica Hitte, and Addison Bevere. This new version is one of three new powerful recordings of the song with a Spanish and a Portuguese version to come in the next few weeks. The third single from REVERE’s 2023 live album is reintroduced as a full-band version, led by David and Nicole Binion.
Leslie Jordan introduces “You Are With Me,” a deeply personal song written as her and her husband were journeying through the process of adopting their son in 2017. Wishing to hear, see, or find God amid the confusion, this song was crafted much like a Psalm. Written alongside her friend Sandra McCracken – who released a first version of the song in 2020 – this single was inspired by the Valley of dry bones in Ezekiel 37, as well as the comfort announced in Isaiah 40, two scriptural passages that mirrored Leslie’s experience.
Unified Sound introduces their upcoming first ever live album with new song “Cantaremos.” The single is a medley of songs from influential worship leader Dr. Ron Kenoly and features him on the track. “Cantaremos” blends three of his greatest releases – “Ancient of Days,” “Sing Out,” and “Lift Him Up” – in Unified Sound’s signature fusion of Latin rhythms and highly melodic tones.
“The world is big, God’s creation is big, and music is endless,” says the band. “It’s
important for the Church to break the mold and expand their worship experience to
every tongue, every tribe, and every nation worshiping our God together.”
Germany’s leading worship group Outbreakband announces the release of an acoustic EP comprised of standout songs from their latest album, “Jesus.” They introduce a reimagined acoustic version of “Der Name Jesus” as the first single kicking off a season of new music. This song carries the band’s vision to bring new German worship songs into the Christian landscape.
Citizens releases their second acoustic single, “when we pray.” The new stripped-back, piano-led version highlights lead singer Zach Bolen’s raw and emotive vocals. Co-written with Canadian singer-songwriter Ben Cantelon, “when we pray” emerged from a conversation expressing thoughts around the phrase “in Jesus’ name.” With simple honesty, Zach says that his “first instinct was to push against the idea of writing a song with that phrase because of how often it has been used as a cliche, or even worse, as some sort of magical saying.” Yet, the song seeks to bring something new to the conversation around the significance of praying in the name of Jesus.
