Samuel Day has released a Christian EDM (CEDM) track called Meant to Be. Samuel writes: "I was thinking about how none of us are every going to make everyone happy. Jesus is perfect, and some people still wanted to murder him. Who God has called me to be isn't going to be liked by everyone - and I'm finally ok with that. I won't apologize for who I'm meant to be." This song was co-produced by Jacob Stanifer, and mastered by Mike Cervantes of The Foxboro (For King & Country, Skillet, and more) Lyrics: And I know what's worth fighting for When the world comes down to beating at the door And I will be constant 'cause faith has to stand In order to see the life we've put on demand And I won't apologize for who I'm meant to be And the world is offended, but that isn't new Want you to be a reaction and not find out the truth And every day there's an injustice to fight I respect your passion, but it don't mean you're right
Unspoken has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Hard Times. “Writing for this record, we sat down and asked, ‘What do we need to hear ourselves?’” Mattson says. “Sometimes you write songs just based on what sounds good, but we talked ourselves away from doing that. This song is really about transparency, just letting people in to what we were going through.” But before they could even think about producing this song, they had to endure. LYRICS: Sometimes in life the road we’re on is not the one we choose Hits home when we find ourselves in someone else’s shoes We sing a song of victory then we sing the blues But through the highs and lows No we ain’t losing hope There’s gonna be hard times Gonna be long nights Gonna be days when we’re praying Just to make it through But when it goes all wrong We gotta just hold on The promise that you gave us Your love will not forsake us In these hard times Nothing lasts forever no no Seasons always change Change is for
