Singer/Songwriter Ellie Holcomb is set to release her third studio LP, Canyon, this summer on June 25th. This will mark the first label distributed release for the independent artist. Last week the title-track, “Canyon,” was released with the stunningly beautiful music video shot at Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park.

“We all know what it is for our hearts to be broken, split wide open by the pain and loss and sorrow we encounter here. We know brokenness. We know division, but there in the middle of all the chaos, in the places where the pain cuts a canyon into our very hearts, there is a river running through. There is a current of love that brings refreshment, hope and comfort. There is a river of love there to carry us if we’ll only let it. There is a river to carry us back home, to the place where all of us came from, to the place of belonging to the one who made us, to a place of belonging to each other.”

Flourish Music announces the release of their debut single, “For My Good.” Flourish Music is a collective of like-minded worship leaders and songwriters who are equipping the local church with meaningful and creative Gospel-centered songs. The unique artists making up Flourish Music gather collectively to write and produce music that is meant to be sung by the local church and also stands out in the modern worship music genre.

“For My Good” was written as a response to Romans 8:37-39 where Paul reminds us that there is nothing that will separate us from the love of God in Christ: “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
