Established singer/songwriter Philippa Hanna finds herself in an exciting new season as she and her husband are expecting their first baby. As the due date draws near (giddily close to Christmas), she has been considering the Christmas story and has released a collection of her favorite carols, featuring collaborations with some incredible artists, to celebrate the glorious birth of Jesus. Original Master MultiTracks for Christmas: The Greatest Story are now available! 

Red Letter Society shares, "It's Christmas time again! One of our favorite parts of the Christmas story is that Jesus came to be with us. He is God in the flesh. Scripture teaches that Jesus is the 'Image of the invisible God.' The Bible also teaches that we are made in the image of God. This perplexing truth is the heart behind our new song 'Image'. Because Jesus is the perfect image of God, we can be redeemed and restored to the life we were created to live. Without Christmas, this would not be possible!"

Pairing theologically rich lyrics with soaring melodies, Peoria, Illinois-based Grace Worship reimagines two beloved Christmas hymns in All Glory Be To Christ. The new recordings reflect a modern musical expression while simultaneously drawing from the 150-year church history at their church. Grace Worship explains, "The songs are further meant to remind listeners that there is more hope in Jesus than there is despair in our world." Bringing classical technique and lush orchestra arrangements into a pop presentation, they continue their work of creating songs that unite generations with its fresh re-imagining of “O Come, All Ye Faithful” and Kings Kaleidoscope’s hymn, “All Glory Be To Christ.”

Luke Anderson returns with Snare Collection Volume 3! This new bundle contains legendary snare sounds you’ve heard on Elevation Worship’s album “Only King Forever” and many more. These snares were captured in studio using vintage preamps, compressors, and microphones. Samples include Luke’s 1963 Acrolite 5x14, wooden Legacy 6.5x14, and samples processed through verbs, effects, and guitar pedals.

These snares are mix-ready and fit in a variety of styles and genres. Add extra character and legendary tone to your live sound, drum pad, or recordings and productions with Snare Collection Volume 3.

Saddleback Worship has released their brand-new EP Before the King! The group shares, "These songs are an invitation for every one of us to come as we are and lay our burdens down before the King. In the midst of a challenging year, the importance of reclaiming the gift of Jesus coming to earth is at an all-time high. The wonder of Jesus is that there is no burden too big or life too messy for Him. With arms open, He is inviting us to approach Him. Just as the Wisemen and shepherds knelt before God in flesh on that sacred night, we too can approach with reverence, bringing all that we are before the King."

The new Equippers Revolution single "Can’t Live Without You" is the second single off their fifth project, their most adventurous yet. This massive praise anthem is a passionate cry of desperation, stating that we can’t live without Jesus. It's their hope that "a wider variety of sound would provide more entry points for people to encounter Jesus through the music."

MercyMe is turning tragedy into triumph with their song "Say I Won't". The song's music video highlights the story of Gary Miracle, who was the first bus driver for the band 25 years ago, and how he lost both arms and legs in January after falling into septic shock. Through grit and sheer determination, Gary is shown in the music video putting on his prosthetic arms for the first time, learning to write again and declaring he will one day walk again. "Say I Won't" sings out, "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength / So keep on saying I won’t / And I’ll keep proving you wrong."

Alive City thought of worship leaders and their congregations while creating their new song "A Christmas Medley: Joy To The World/Go Tell It On The Mountain/Away In A Manger". The team writes, "We took three of our favorite Christmas songs and arranged them into an easy-to-play and easy-to-lead structure that is perfect for your next Christmas service. The male-female vocal split allows all members to easily sing along, and the acoustic instruments used to ensure that every member of your team has a clearly-defined part. We truly hope that 'A Christmas Medley' serves you, your team, and your congregation."
