Brand-New Single, “Me,” To Come on Heels of Holiday Release |
| Nashville, Tenn. (Oct. 30, 2018) – Singer/songwriter Mallary Hope has unveiled her heart-felt Christmas three-track Single, Christmas Is All About You. The brand-new title track invites listeners to press pause during the busy holiday season, and to experience the deeper meaning of why we celebrate.

On the heels of the Christmas release, Hope will also be unveiling a brand-new single, “Me.” Inspired by her own desire to abandon the notion of perfection, Hope encourages others to do the same in the uplifting track. “I
wrote ‘Me’ with the hopes that it could inspire everyone all over the
world to see the beauty in who God created them to be,” said Hope. “It’s
a special reminder (even for myself), that I don’t have to change who I
am or conform to the world to fit in. I am loved and am enough just the
way I am.” Set to release digitally on Nov. 16, “Me” will impact radio in early 2019. Complementing the song, Hope has invited fans to share their stories of how “Me” has impacted them personally to be used for her upcoming music video. |

Planetshakers’ Youth Band planetboom Releases “Run To You” Nov. 9
Oct 30, 2018 Artist Updates, New Release
Single Encourages Listeners To Run To God When They “Mess Up,”
Follows 2.4+ Million YouTube Plays Of Previous Four Singles
Multicultural planetboom Ministry Represents 60 Nationalities
The dynamic, multicultural youth ministry of Planetshakers Church, planetboom, releases its fifth single, “Run To You,” Nov. 9 with global distribution by Venture3 Media. The prayerful, declarative song encouraging listeners to run to God, will be available through iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Google Play and more digital and streaming outlets internationally.
Based on Hebrews 4:15-16, “Run To You” was written following a sermon from Planetshakers Church Senior Pastor Russell Evans that addressed young people, teaching them the proper response to God after “messing up.”
“Things are not always going to go perfectly, but if you can learn to run to God in those situations, not run from Him, that’s the key to still walking with Him in 10-years-time, 20-years-time,” explains planetboom Youth Pastor and musician Andy Harrison, who co-wrote the song. “Learning how to run to Him with your mess, that’s such a perfect message for our young people who have already responded, ‘This is my song. That’s where I’m at.’”
Here in this moment, Lord I am running
Right up to Your throne
All that I need is, found in You Jesus
Your presence is my home
(“Run To You” chorus)
The diverse youth culture at planetboom, representing at least 60 nationalities, is finding its own voice to share with the world. “Out of this environment, the young people are finding an expression, their own identity,” continues Harrison. “It’s the same message as the larger Planetshakers Church, but they are offering a different way of expressing it, expressing our heart for God.”
And Harrison, along with Planetshakers’ Joth Hunt and others at the church, are recognizing and encouraging the young people in their giftings. Noah Walker, for instance, did not believe his voice was good enough to sing. Yet, it is his remarkable, urban-flavored voice that carries “Run To You” and is the spoken-word rap on “Jesus Over Everything,” his first time ever to rap.
Along with “Run To You” and “Jesus Over Everything,” planetboom has released three more songs over the past year: “Praise Over Problems,” “New Levels” and the Revelation 4– inspired single, “LEMME TELLYA.” Collectively, the four singles released so far have received over 2.4 million views on YouTube alone.
With more new music slated to release next year, all the latest planetboom news and updates can be found at www.planetshakers.com/planetboom, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. planetboom music can also be streamed now on Spotify.

THE GREAT ROMANCE RELEASES NEW SINGLE TODAY ‘More’ Now Available at All Digital Platforms
Oct 30, 2018 Artist Updates, New Release
| THE GREAT ROMANCE RELEASES NEW SINGLE TODAY ‘More’ Now Available at All Digital Platforms |
| October 29, 2018 (Springdale, Ark.) – “More,” a new single from St. Louis area worship/rock band The Great Romance is being distributed today across all digital platforms. The single was written by Matt Vollmar, David Meyers and David Gross. “More” was born out of a writing session in which Vollmar and Meyers agreed to write about something with which they struggle. “We both were feeling that we – and others – battle with going through the motions and taking God for granted,” Vollmar said. “We feel that we can never do enough to repay God for what He does for us on a daily basis.” When Gross joined the writing team, he brought in the hymn “I Surrender All” to use as a tag in the song. “David Gross felt that old familiar hymn summarizes the whole point of this song,” said Vollmar. “We all need to be reminded that we can give more to the cause of Christ.” The Great Romance, which tours regularly, has shared the stage with some of the biggest acts in Christian music, including Switchfoot, Toby Mac, Kutless, The David Crowder Band, Lincoln Brewster, For King and Country, Jordan Feliz and others. The band has played conventions and festivals, including “A Night of Joy” at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The band’s name, according to Vollmar, is a nod to the greatest relationship anyone can have. “Jesus Christ, as our Savior, is the greatest romance of our lives,” he said.

Schultz Performs Live During Annual, Televised
2018 Nashville Christmas Parade Dec. 1
Platinum-selling, Dove Award-winning Mark Schultz is set to release his first-ever, full-length Christmas album Oct. 26. Aptly titled Christmas, the 10-track recording from Lucid Artist will be available on CD exclusively at LifeWay Christian Stores, is available to preorder now at iTunes and will be available at all other major digital and streaming retail outlets internationally.
Making its much-anticipated debut on Christmas is Schultz’s epic anthem, “Different Kind of Christmas,” a moving tribute to his late father-in-law.

“This is a special song for me and my family,” shares Schultz. “I wrote it with my wife after her dad passed away. It was our first Christmas without him, and Kate was decorating for the holidays. She came into the garage holding a box of ornaments and had tears streaming down her face. She said to me, ‘it’s just a different kind of Christmas this year.’
“At some point in our life, we will all lose someone that is close to us, and that first Christmas without them is a tough one to get through,” continues Schultz. “I hope this song will bring comfort to those who are mourning the loss of someone this season.”
Along with “A Different Kind of Christmas,” the new album features classic favorites like “The First Noel,” “Silent Night,” “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” and “Little Drummer Boy,” as well as the beautifully-arranged instrumental “Snow In Paris.”
“People have been asking Mark Schultz to make a Christmas album for his entire career,” shares Greg Lucid, Lucid Artist President. “For Schultz, Christmas is first and foremost about the loving God he serves, and with this album, the purity of the Christmas message comes through with every note. If any project this season will put you in the Christmas spirit, it’s this one. It’s effortlessly listenable, it’s timeless, and it was well worth the wait.”
Featuring production work by such award-winning producers as Chris Bevins, Brown Bannister, Bryan Lenox and Bernie Herms, the full Christmas track listing follows:
1. I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas
2. Silent Night
3. It’s Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas
