Samantha Ebert – No One Knows

I don’t often stray from UK shores to write about songs from across the pond. So it shows how much I value the music of Samantha Ebert to do so on this occasion. Her latest track, ‘No One Knows’, is just as striking as the first time I came across her. ‘Overthinking‘ was a songContinue reading “Samantha Ebert – No One Knows”

Anne Wilson – My Jesus

Anne Wilson is a name that may not have reached the ears of most country music fans thus far. Yet her southern upbringing and admiration for the genre runs through the core of her debut album ‘My Jesus’. The title track has already proved to be somewhat of a breakthrough hit for Wilson, recording overContinue reading “Anne Wilson – My Jesus”

Rachel Jane – You & Me

‘You & Me’, the latest EP from Rachel Jane, is a much lighter affair than her last. This is perhaps not surprising given its themes of love and romance. She manages to avoid the schmaltziness associated with such topics however, particularly at this time of year, by retaining an essential RnB sound which, when coupledContinue reading “Rachel Jane – You & Me”

Philippa Hanna – Stained Glass Stories

When Philippa Hanna released her latest album Stained Glass Stories, it was with nervous anticipation that I pressed play. The sometime-Country singer-songwriter has journeyed into the world of Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) to make a worship album for the first time.

Rachel Jane – Hustle and Hope EP

With a powerful voice liquefied in soul, flavoured with RnB and packaged in pop, Rachel Jane is one of the most talented and inspiring young artists I have had the pleasure to come across in recent times. Having been reminded of her vocal quality during the Big Church Day In, I was delighted to hearContinue reading “Rachel Jane – Hustle and Hope EP”

The Big Church Day In 2020

Sundays have been proving to be quite makeshift for me as a Christian, dipping into different services each week to check out what different churches are doing and how they are managing to connect and engage with people online. This Sunday was no different, though my focus turned from the weekly service to an annualContinue reading “The Big Church Day In 2020”

Rend Collective – Good News

I’ve just finished reading a chapter from the book Jesus > Religion by Jefferson Bethke in which he states that The problem with the… Christian subculture is that our art and glorification of Jesus begin to weaken because we lose all sense of comparison. For example, a lot of Christian musicians no longer shoot toContinue reading “Rend Collective – Good News”

Geoff Evans – Paper Planes

I’m stepping rather close to home this week in recommending a listen to a North Wales-based singer-songwriter. His name is Geoff Evans and he has just released his new EP Paper Planes. For someone who is still a relative unknown outside of his immediate locality, this four-track collection could be the one that takes himContinue reading “Geoff Evans – Paper Planes”

Come Back Fighting – Philippa Hanna

For many, Philippa Hanna was probably a relative unknown a week or so ago. But now that her cover of Ed Sheeran’s Perfect has gone viral, it would appear that this is no longer the case. Yet for those who have followed the 33 year-old singer, long before this latest social media storm brewed, itContinue reading “Come Back Fighting – Philippa Hanna”
