Thoughts And Notions/Tirada Featuring Elvis Rocha, Wile Lile, and AJ Alburo - What Real Christmas Means to Me (Christmas)

Hey, everyone! We're so excited to introduce you to the latest release by Thoughts And Notions, 'What Real Christmas Means to Me.' It's a song that's been a while in the making. They've been working on this song for months, and finally got it just right. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Thoughts And Notions wrote this song with the intention of helping people refocus on what Christmas truly means. For years now, there seems to be an over-commercialization of Christmas—and this in a way leads young people to focus less and less on the child born in the manger, Jesus Christ. So that was the primary reason why they decided to write this song. As for the music itself: originally, Thoughts And Notions wanted to write a traditional Christmas ballad/carol time of song to match the lyrics. But then these musicians came together and decided they wanted something different—something that would catch your attention by making their unique sound stand out from other

Amanda Joy Powell - This Child of Bethlehem (Christmas)

Amanda Joy Powell has released a Christian Christmas (CCM) track called 'This Child of Bethlehem'. When I was going through a collection of Christmas music, I came across a song released in December 2020 called “This Child of Bethlehem' by Amanda Joy Powell. I enjoy Amanda's beautiful voice, it is the kind of voice that I can listen to again and again—but more importantly, I want to share this song with you! Amanda's Christmas message is one that I feel everyone needs to hear. She sings: 'He came so softly to this world, no one could fathom that He would choose this way. He chose a manger not a throne, humble beginnings for the one who came to save.' She continues: 'The angels sing about Him, for He alone is worthy. The shepherds bow down before His glory. This baby is the promise, He’s the redeeming plan! He changes everything!' I think we can all agree that these lyrics are so important at this time of year—and even more so during other times

Hunter Fraser - Angels From the Realms of Glory (Christmas)

Hunter Fraser has released a Christian Christmas (CCM) track called 'Angels From the Realms of Glory'. Have you ever heard a song that makes you feel like you're at home? A song that feels like the world is made of gold and all your worries have melted away—you just want to sit back and let the music wash over you. That's what Hunter Fraser's new single 'Angels From the Realms of Glory' does for me. It reminds me of a favorite Christmas hymn, but it also feels fresh and new in a way that makes me want to listen again and again. Hunter's voice is incredible—deep, rich, and  soothing—and he sings with such emotional depth that I can feel the emotions running down my back in a pleasant and relaxing way.His voice really is something special.

Tim Moberly - The Prophecy We Heard (Christmas)

Let's be honest: Christian Christmas songs are a dime a dozen. But when you find one that's a little different, it's worth sharing. I'm talking about 'The Prophecy We Heard', a modern, rockin' take on the story of the three wise men and their journey to Bethlehem. The song is by Tim Moberly, and if you're not familiar with him, I highly recommend checking out his other work—he's been writing, recording, and performing his brand of 'Americana pop' for over twenty years as one of the creative forces behind indie band 'The Vinyl Goods'. His songs blend driving acoustic rhythms and melodies with memorable lyrics and vocal harmonies to create a wonderful musical tapestry.

VoxMusic - The Wait Is Over (Christmas)

VoxMusic has released a Christian Christmas (CCM) track called 'The Wait Is Over'. The song, centered on the simple yet mind-boggling truth that ' he chose to be near to us ,' speaks of both Christ's birth into humanity and the reality that, with faith, he now makes his dwelling in our hearts. The arrival of Jesus, fully divine yet born as a baby, the Creator entering His creation. Celebrating Christ's birth is also a celebration of His salvation, of His drawing near to a broken humanity and of His everlasting hope triumphing over a weary world. This is why we celebrate Christmas and it is the heartbeat behind 'The Wait Is Over'.

Rorie - O Come O Come Emmanuel (Christmas)

Rorie has released a Christian Christmas (CCM) track called 'O Come O Come Emmanuel'. Rorie’s one-of-a-kind cover of “O Come O Come Emmanuel” is a beautiful and emotive rendition of the classic Christmas carol.

How to Find Joy In Waiting - Advent Lessons from Fox & Foal (Christmas)

Fox & Foal (Brooke & Dave), a folk-inspired worship duo, released their new single 'Emmanuel' on November 18th. The title of the song, 'Emmanuel,' reminds us that no one is too far from God's love. Advent seems to be a time of darkness and anxious anticipation of what is to come, in addition to joy and hope. Seasons of waiting accompany Christ's journey, story, and promise, but Christ is always with us as we wait. Brooke and Dave believe that no matter what season we are in, God is always with us. About Fox & Foal Fox & Foal is a Fayetteville, Arkansas-based folk-inspired worship duo. Dave Williams and Brooke Hobbs first worked together to lead worship at the University of Arkansas Wesley College Ministry.

A constant theme in several of their songs is a call to lead their congregation in true surrender to a new life

Jekalyn Carr - Great Christmas (Gospel)

Hey, folks! I'm excited to announce that Jekalyn Carr has released her new single, “Great Christmas.” I love this song for a lot of reasons—it's catchy, it's uplifting, and it's got a great message. But the biggest reason is that the lyrics are so powerful. Carr sings about the fact that God loves us no matter what we do or how we celebrate. The visuals for this video are also amazing. It features Carr and her band in all-white in front of a Winter Wonderland kind of set-up—and it totally fits the song's theme of togetherness as well as its title. Check out the video below!

The Worship Initiative, Shane & Shane - Joy to the World (Joyful, Joyful) (CCM)

On Friday, November 11th, The Worship Initiative, Shane & Shane shared new music with their version of the song 'Joy to the World (Joyful, Joyful)'. 'Joy to the World' has been a Christmas tradition since 1719. Isaac Watts wrote the lyrics, and it is still one of the most-published hymns in North America. The song, however, was never intended to be a Christmas carol, as its original version had no such link. It wasn't even meant to be a song! According to church history, Isaac Watts was one of the most prolific and well-known hymn writers. However, his most famous work, 'Joy to the World,' was inspired by chance rather than desire. Watts published 'The Psalms of David' in 1719, a collection of poems in which each verse was based on a psalm. However, rather than translating the original texts of the 'Old Testament,' he made some minor changes. His poems made more explicit references to Jesus' works, implying a search for inspiration

Michael Tait - O Holy Night (CCM)

On Friday, November 11, Michael Tait released a beautiful version of the song 'O Holy Night'. Every Christmas, we can think back on the night of Jesus' birth by listening to the lyrics to 'O Holy Night.' Undoubtedly, many of us have enjoyed listening to this lovely song in our church's sanctuary or on the radio around Christmas.  But what do we know about the origins and story of this song? Placide Cappeau, a French poet, wrote the song in 1843. The song has a beautiful meaning, and it's fascinating to learn how Placide Cappeau came to write these lyrics, and how God can use anyone, whether a Jewish musician or a man who walked away from his faith, to spread the good news of our Savior's birth. The song is inspired by Luke 2:4-12, which describes the night of Jesus' birth. However, once we understand the song's history, the lyrics reveal something else beneath the surface. That God's message can still be heard through a man who lost his fai

Sky Hymnal - Silent Night (CCM)

Sky Hymnal has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called 'Silent Night'. We are excited to announce new artist, Sky Hymnal, releases their first single “Silent Night” today. There is something a bit unique about Sky Hymnal as they converge the ambient guitar work of Nate Sousa with a beautiful drone video of landscape & architecture around the world. The first single releases today and their Silent Night video releases November 29.  We've seen a preview of the video and it is very special! The video features Christmas lights around Nashville, Franklin, and Brentwood Tennessee. Beautiful view and at the same time I was wondering how they managed to film the lights without people and traffic in the background (LOL)! You'll want to see this for yourself. Until the 29th, you'll have to do with 'just' the music video (see below). Connect with Sky Hymnal https://www.facebook.com/skyhymnal https://www.instagram.com/skyhymnal/ You can listen t

Mama Tee - Peace unto you (John 3:16) (CCM)

Mama Tee, a gospel songwriter, delivers a beautiful song that reminds us of the purpose of Christmas as stated in John 3:16-17. In her words, 'When I felt led to write this Christmas song, the revelation was that God chose Mary to carry his only begotten son and gave her and Joseph the responsibility of raising his son in order for him to fulfill God’s purpose for his life which is to make salvation available for all mankind.' The purpose of Christmas is written in John 3:16-17, 'For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:16-17 NKJV' – Mama Tee continues. Mama Tee wants us to remember that even as we face so much turmoil and uncertainty, we have the Prince of Peace, Jesus, who can give us a peace that the world cannot, regardless of the storms of life and
