Here Is Our Hallelujah (Live)

“Here Is Our Hallelujah,” initially released on Village Lights’s debut album in 2021, is now reintroduced as a live version featuring their community. The single is a worshipful song growing from beautiful simplicity to a full fledged anthem with a communal pattern of echoing the praises being sung. The central message displayed in the song's title truly reflects a collective "hallelujah", meaning "praise the Lord."

“Music is always best when made in a community," shares multiple GRAMMY- nominated worship leader Matt Maher, who is a mentor to the group. "This requires such a level of trust. Every great artist knows this fundamental truth. Art is something best shared. I love this group and their willingness to include so many in their journey of creativity and am honored to help them as a producer bring this treatment of the end of the liturgical year into a collective work of song for the Church and for the pilgrimage of the believer.”

The song carries Village Lights’s heartbeat of unity, inclusivity and reconciliation wrapped in worshipful devotion. Seeing themselves as more than a band, but rather a movement for those who seek justice in our world and Church, Village Lights was birthed from the relationship of three independent artists who often found themselves leading worship together at youth conferences and discovering a shared desire to create more modern worship music for more liturgical church spaces.

Good God

Shout Praises Kids releases “Good God,” a new project of pillar worship songs from the last decade with a youthful synth twist. Each track features a choir of children, specifically intended for an audience from preschool through 6th grade, to hear themselves as worshippers and join in lifting powerful songs of truth. The project was formed out of a belief that children do not need a watered-down Gospel, but substantial truth communicated in the songs they sing. “Good God” is an album for the whole family, bringing a variety of songs around God's holiness, strength, and worthiness of our worship. Shout Praises Kids seeks to encourage children from a young age with quality worship in the hope of pointing them to the source of all praise.

Jesus Kommt Wieder

Outbreakband releases “Jesus (Akustik),” a new EP featuring five acoustic versions of the best loved songs from their 2022 studio album “Jesus.” These five tracks are the most important for the band as they have become the most impactful for their audience. This acoustic EP strips it all back to the answer found in the name of Jesus amidst the confusion going on around us.

“Someone once asked me what my inspiration is and I simply said, Jesus!” says Juri Friesen, Outbreakband’s leader. “It's so simple and yet so powerful. He is the source of all inspiration and stands for everything good in this world."

“Jesus (Akustik)” was created with both the Church and the community in mind, crafting songs intended for worship with an intimate soundtrack. Outbreakband have significantly inspired a new enthusiasm in the German youth’s worship as they infuse new creativity and musical inspiration in the national worship sphere with an overall pop rock influence and progressive sounds, establishing themselves across congregations and ages.
