MercyMe
Contemporary Christian icons MercyMe won the hearts of millions
with its hit song, “I Can Only Imagine,” a heart-wrenchingly
personal song penned by band frontman Bart Millard following
his father’s early death. When the song hit the charts
over 10 years ago, the band catapulted onto the Christian
music scene with immense success, including 19 number one
singles, over 5 million records sold, four Dove Awards, and
two Grammy Award nominations.
The Texas-based band has entertained
millions
throughout their career with their unique brand of worshipful
rock music, including other hit singles, “Here
With Me,” “You Reign,” and “Finally
Home.” Their thoughtful songs have become a comfort
and an inspiration to those struggling with the loss of loved
ones. Their newest album, “The Generous Mr. Lovewell,” featuring
the single “All of Creation,” will be released
May 4.
Newsboys
Since Newsboys’ first album released in 1988, the
Contemporary Christian band has recorded 25 number one pop
hits, won two Dove awards, received several Grammy nominations,
and sold over 6 million records with hits like “You
Are My King,” “Shine,” “He Reigns,” and “Something
Beautiful.” With the addition of new front man and vocalist
Michael Tait, the Newsboys are being “Born Again” through
an eclectic mix of worshipful and upbeat songs grounded in
strong faith.
Their new album “Born Again,” set
to release on June 8, will feature worshipful songs such as “We
Remember” and “Running to You” as well as
songs that chronicle the band’s journey together and
their new direction with Tait as lead vocalist. “Boys
Light Up” and the title track, “Born Again” are
both reflective of their desire to lead men to trust in God’s
plan, and their passion for the compelling power of music.
