Cristian Ramirez Rodriguez - Dare To Hope (Baptized & Sent)

I have received a track from a relatively new artist. His name is Cristian Ramirez Rodriguez, and he is very dedicated to writing Christian music. Cristian says the following: "I was feeling depressed as I looked in the mirror, until one day I learned that an inverted image is always real..."  Cristian realized that there is opposition in all parts of life, and we need to learn how to see the inverted when going through hard times. Cristian Ramirez Rodriguez, a 16-year-old Canadian poet turned singer-songwriter and producer, began releasing music in November 2017. At 14-years-old his debut single "First Snowfall" appeared on Spotify. His debut extended play "Life Is a Dance / Life Is a Fight" materialized three months later. Cristian would soon begin to experiment with new genres such as Indie Folk, Latin Pop-rock and Alternative Hip-hop. At 15-years-old, he unveiled his debut bilingual album "The Victory (La Victoria)." Entering his se

Background on our Top 25 / 50 / 100 charts

The large music platforms are providing us insights on how often songs/tracks have recently been played (e.g. in the past 7 / 14 / 30 days). We found a way to combine all of these inputs for many thousands of tracks, and (somewhat to our surprise) discovered that the tracks people are frequently listening to significantly differ from Billboard (& similar) charts. We see changes in listening behavior around certain seasons that are not reflected in the major charts... and that has fueled the idea that we could create a unique chart. We look at ALL music within a specific genre, regardless whether it is 10 years old, or has just been released. If the music is being listened to, then the number of recent plays are being considered towards a listing in our charts. In our charts, you may even see older favorites come back into the top rankings. As previously said, all that counts is the music that people are currently listening to. We now have 6 charts. Four charts for th

Johan El-Khoury - Blood Of Jesus (released just 16 minutes ago)

Johan El-Khoury just released a track that tells the story about how Christ changed his life. Johan grew up with panic anxiety disorder and depression, as a teenager he fell into many addictions and it only got worse. Johan was in such darkness until he called out to Jesus to save him, and his whole life changed. This song is about that, how Johan got saved from being a sinner by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. On Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/track/4I2UAs6vBrDCPDklRsv6lf

Jason Grey releases "Order" the first of his three volume serie "Order Disorder Reorder"

Jason about the project: "I’m releasing it in a way that I’m very excited about, telling the story of transformation in three 5-song volumes—“Order,” “Disorder,” and finally “Reorder”—over the course of the next 12 months, giving time for reflecting on each part of the journey before digging into the next. I hope you’ll take this journey with me! It all starts 8/16 with the release of “Order” which you can pre-order and pre-save now ( JasonGray.lnk.to/order ). What is order, disorder, reorder? When Jesus said, “...I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed; but if it dies, it bears much fruit...” I believe he was talking about transformation. The human spirit is something like a muscle in that it must be pushed to its limits and torn down in order to grow. 3 words to describe this process are order, disorder, and reorder (thank you Richard Rohr). Order is when everything is going according to plan. We’re using all that w

Jason Grey - Order Disorder Reorder

Story Behind The Song: “Order Disorder Reorder” Jason Grey tells the story behind the song: "My mentor says he believes a large part of his work is to play a part in healing a person’s language, because “if their language is healed they’ll heal themselves”—presumably because we talk to ourselves day in and out. Language is a large part of how our thinking is organized, which is why hearing the right word at the right time can burn away the fog in our minds and bring such clarity. God spoke creation into existence. Jesus is the Word made flesh. Language creates worlds and mends hearts.  So when I heard a podcast where Richard Rohr used the words “order, disorder, reorder” to describe the process of transformation, a lot of things snapped into place in my mind and my heart. It really helped me. Chaos and disillusionment were no longer grounds to question God’s love or even existence, but instead became meaningful and necessary steps along the way to becoming the person

Francesca Battistelli - Defender

Oh my, what a delight!! Francesca Battistelli has just released 'Defender'. This is such a powerful and faith-promoting song! 'Defender' declares that the Lord fights our battles for us. And He prepares a table in the presence of our enemies. This worship anthem brings Exodus 14:14 to life: "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." (And let's be honest, being still is so hard to do!!) This is what Francesca Battistelli says about the track: "As a songwriter, I get such joy out of spending my time crafting words and creating melodies that God places on my heart. Yet there are times when I come across a song that just gets to me on a deep, core level. 'Defender' continues to be that song. I hope you can worship and reflect on the God that loves you so endlessly, knows you so fully, and is your great Defender!"   Amen!
