Mark Bishop says it’s “Time To Let Go and Let God”

“How do we get ourselves into the situations we find ourselves in?” That question informs the thoughtful message of “Time To Let Go and Let God,” the latest single from Sonlite Records’ masterful Southern Gospel singer and songwriter, Mark Bishop.

“It seems like, even if you try to make the best decisions you can, day after day, even that is not enough to keep you from hardship and trouble. The best people I know… people who are kind and thoughtful and mindful of their actions and considerate of the people around them… I still see them going through hard times.

“We need a helper in times of trouble. That’s where God comes in.”

Indeed, where Bishop’s previous single framed its affirmation with lush orchestration, “Time To Let Go and Let God” uses a simmering, soulful groove, wailing harmonica, gritty guitar and illuminating flashes of organ to convey those times of trouble and doubt, as Bishop’s urgent lead is surrounded by harmonies from Freddie Ratliff, Victoria Bowlin and Lauren Talley, articulating its simple question:

Don’t you think it’s time to let go and let God?

Don’t you think it’s time to let go and let God?

You’ve been holding on so long, now your strength is nearly gone.

Let Go and let God.

“If you’re tired of pain and stress and worry,” says Bishop, “God says, ‘Come to me and I will give you rest.’ Don’t you think it’s time to stop fighting the battle alone? Don’t you think it’s time to just let go?”

“Time To Let Go and Let God” is streaming in Dolby Atmos spatial audio on Apple Music, Amazon Music and TIDAL.

The King James Boys Shine Light on “The Best Selling Book Of All Time” – New Single Out Now!

Bluegrass Gospel powerhouse The King James Boys are keeping the momentum alive with their brand-new radio single, “The Best-Selling Book Of All Time.” Available now on all digital and streaming platforms, the moving anthem is pulled from their latest chart-topping album Get A Transfer. Fans can stream or download the new single and full album HERE.

Written by Christopher Burton, “The Best Selling Book Of All Time” highlights the eternal message of the Bible. Its lyrics serve as a reminder that the Good Book was written by all people and continues to guide lives across every generation and walk of life. The recording features band members Randy Spencer (guitar, lead vocals), Cole Spencer (bass, harmony vocals), Curtis Lewis (banjo) and Will Hart (mandolin, harmony vocals). The new single follows on the heels of their chart-topping anthem “The News That Never Changes,” which is currently No. 1 on the Bluegrass Today Gospel Weekly Airplay Chart, where it has spent multiple weeks at the top since its late-spring release.

The momentum continues for Get A Transfer, which has become one of the biggest projects of The King James Boys’ career. The album has spent 23 consecutive weeks in the No. 1 position on the Roots Music Report Gospel Bluegrass Album Chart, where it debuted earlier this year, and earned a glowing 5-star review from the publication. The collection has also produced multiple hits including the lead single “Glory Ride” and fan-favorite “Ready and Waiting.”

Based in the upstate of South Carolina, The King James Boys have been carrying the message of Bluegrass Gospel for over 30 years. Since their beginnings in 1994, the group has dedicated their mission to preserving and promoting the gospel through heartfelt harmonies, uplifting performances and a sound rooted in tradition. Over the years, they’ve earned a reputation as one of the genre’s most consistent voices, blending their faith with a genuine passion for connecting with audiences everywhere. Today, they continue to build on that legacy with sincerity, energy, and an unwavering commitment to the music’s timeless message.

With a jam-packed touring schedule throughout 2025, The King James Boys are taking their message nationwide. Looking ahead, they’re set to kick off 2026 aboard Danny Stewart’s Bluegrass Cruise, departing from Port Canaveral, Florida, January 15-19.

Joy Holden Widens Her Reach

Surrounded, the sound of patience, prayer, and perfect timing released by award-winning Christian artist Joy Holden pairs powerhouse vocals with heartfelt storytelling, delivering songs that lift, comfort, and inspire. Her music centers on the nearness of Jesus, reminding listeners they are never alone. What began as “pure joy” became an 18-month journey of letting God steer the ship, slowing down, and allowing the right songs and circumstances to arrive. She credits three-time Grammy-nominated and Dove Award-winning producer Barry Weeks, “the best of the best,” a rare heart-first engineer and music/vocal producer, whose goal was to honor God with excellence and who believed in her every step of the way. The result, under the wing of 40 Love Music label, is a collection of relevant, relatable, and fully baked songs centered on faith, gratitude, and the peace of divine guidance.

Chris Blue Delivers Soulful Holiday Collection on New Album & DVD, Every Day Is Christmas

DOVE Award nominee and winner of NBC’s The Voice season 12, Chris Blue, offers a fresh take on the holiday season with his new project, Every Day Is Christmas, available October 17 via Gaither Music Group. The collection will be released in both CD and DVD formats and is available for pre-order today.

Bringing his strikingly powerful yet tender voice to beloved carols and timeless favorites, Blue blends reverence, soul, and inventive arrangements across the 12-song set. Special collaborations include the Gaither Vocal Band, Autumn Nelon, Tamara Bodie, and Voices of Lee, adding depth and diversity to the festive recording.

“This project reflects the joy and spirit of the season in a way that feels both classic and new,” shares Blue. “I wanted to take songs that we all know and love and give them a sound that feels authentic to me—soulful, hopeful, and full of celebration.”

Highlights include the worshipful “O Come All Ye Faithful (Glory Dawns),” the funky, unexpected “Go, Tell It on the Mountain,” the jazz-infused “Silent Night,” and the smooth, melodic “The Christmas Song.” The focus track, “I Pray On Christmas” featuring the Gaither Vocal Band, is poised to be a seasonal standout.

Every Day Is Christmas follows Blue’s 2024 album, Foundations: The Hymns of My Heart, which debuted at #1 on the Gospel Album Chart, #2 on the Top Christian/Gospel Albums Chart, and #158 on the Top Album Sales Chart. That album was accompanied by a DVD and TV special, extending Blue’s reach to audiences nationwide.

The new project will also be featured in a full-length DVD and TV special airing on TBN, RFD-TV, Word Network, Vision, TCT, The Walk TV, TLN, HopeTV, The Miracle Channel, CTS, CTN, Proclaim Broadcasting, and Heartland throughout the holiday season, as well as on Gaither TV+ and the Gaither Music TV YouTube channel.
