for KING & COUNTRY – known the world over for its grand re-envisioning of the classic “Little Drummer Boy,” especially following its rousing, show-stealing performance of the song during the 2019 CMA Country Christmas TV special on ABC that received a standing ovation – is bringing that signature style to a brand-new, 13-song album, A Drummer Boy Christmas. The duo’s first-ever, full-length studio Christmas album features Gabby Barrett on “Go Tell It On The Mountain,” and NEEDTOBREATHE on “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.”

“It all started on a dreary winter’s night in our American hometown of Nashville, TN. It was the end of 2012, the year the band began. We piled ourselves into an old factory - cellos, brass, bass, guitars and of course, a load of drums. We began to frantically rehearse and prepare for an incumbent Christmas tour that we frankly, due to the fact that we’d yet to release a Christmas album or song, had no right to embark on,” shares Joel and Luke Smallbone of for KING & COUNTRY.

“Yet,” the brothers continue, “From that shotgun rehearsal (where we insolently dreamt up our rendition of “Little Drummer Boy”) to today, the beauty, drama, and ultimately the miracle of Christmas has caught our musical imagination and therefore been laced into the DNA of the band. With this as the backdrop, coupled with all we face socially, politically and ethically across the globe, we felt it was the imperfectly perfect time for us to do our small part in telling the story of the redemption that Jesus’ birth offers to you, and to me. So bake those chocolate chip cookies, make a little hot chocolate, strike up that cozy fire, and let us take you on a 44 minute and 49 second musical Christmas journey to celebrate the greatest story the world has ever known!”

Executive produced by GRAMMY Award®-winning musician and producer Aqualung, aka, Matt Hales (Sara Bareilles); orchestrally arranged by Davide Rossi of Coldplay fame; mixed by Ban Baptie (Ellie Goulding, U2, Adele); and mastered by Dave Kutch (Dua Lipa, 5 Seconds of Summer, The Weeknd) - A Drummer Boy Christmas includes 13 tracks and features two original Christmas songs entitled “Heavenly Hosts” and an emotionally moving ballad from Joseph’s perspective, “The Carol of Joseph (I Believe In You).” A Drummer Boy Christmas was produced by Tedd T. and for KING & COUNTRY, and co-produced by Benjamin Backus.

Led in English, ICF Worship has released "Here is My Heart". Original Master MultiTracks for the live and studio versions of "Here is My Heart" are now available! Written and first performed at the beginning of the year, the lyrics seem prophetic-like in helping declare truth before this year ensued singing, "In You, I'll stand unshakable / My future now, unbreakable / So come what may, I choose to stay / In Your love that won't fade away."

Saddleback Worship shares, "Earth will never be Heaven no matter how hard we hope and desire for it to be. Heaven is perfection in its fullness and Earth, as every one of us knows, is broken. We’re in the 'in-between'—the 'now and not yet.' Here, there are no guarantees that our prayers are going to be answered the way we are believing for them to be or that we won’t be faced with things we never saw coming. But God, in all of His wonder and grace, gives us the guarantee through the beautiful gift of His presence that He will always be with us. He will never leave us nor forsake us. One of His very names is 'Immanuel: God with us.' He is here—walking with us every single moment of every single day. Through it all, we can count on the promise of His presence. Friend, Heaven may not have invaded Earth the way you were believing it to, BUT come Hell or high water, Heaven WILL meet you. Heaven on Earth is not everything panning out the way we pray, hope, or believe that it will. Heaven on Earth is the fulfillment of God’s promise of His presence EVEN IF everything doesn’t go according to how we envisioned or prayed it to be. The miracle of His perfect presence, present in our imperfect, broken, human experience…this is Heaven on Earth."

Singer/songwriter and worship leader Sean Curran shares about his new song, "a hard prayer to say is usually a good prayer to say." Original Master MultiTracks for "Catch Me Singing" are now available! This song powerfully sings outs, "I will trust You in the famine / I will bless You in the feast / When I’m standing in Your victory / When I’m on my knees / I will praise You with the rising / And the setting sun / You’re gonna catch me singing / When the springtime comes."

Original Master MultiTracks for WALLS, the newest EP of Fellowship Creative from Fellowship Church, are now available! Written and recorded earlier this year, songwriter Sam Kelly shares, "The title track "Walls," an anthem of hope, felt so timely as rage and division arose among our nation. "Paradise" felt like something we all needed; a song you could move around with, breathe, and remember that paradise isn’t a place, but a person.” The group writes, "Who knew these songs would take on new meaning with the uncertainty, fear and anxiety the year would bring. God would take these songs and breath on them for this time to help people sing a song of faith over fear. [We] had no idea what would come together for such a time as this."

Singer/Songwriter Whitney Wood shares, "'Song of Restoration' is written from a place of immense loss. I have been struggling with chronic illness for the last six years and have had many conversations with God asking why? Most of the words were written on a car drive home after a painful day filled with questions and He reminded me of promises He had made years ago. I may have forgotten them, but He didn't. The words came out of me... 'This is a song of restoration, fulfillment of the waiting, returning what was lost.' Chronic pain has flipped my life upside down and has essentially been the death of many dreams I had once had. It has, at times, made me feel so behind and that I missed out on a life that would never come to fruition. Again, the words flowed 'What we thought was dead is now brimming with life, what was buried instead is now growing inside.' My prayer is that this song reminds you that God is always moving even if we're in a waiting season. He has not forgotten you and he does not break His promises. It might look different than we think, but God always brings beauty from ashes and takes us on a journey we couldn't even imagine possible. Whatever has been lost or broken in your life, God always restores and redeems what was lost."
