The Thrill of Hope Christy Nockels

“Long lay the world, in sin and error pining, ‘till He appeared and the soul felt its worth…a thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.” - “O Holy Night”

“’The thrill of hope’ I thought to myself…this story is worth telling, yet again,” shares acclaimed worship songstress Christy Nockels. "There are still those who have never heard, those who have yet to see. Even if I could be a part of telling the story in such a way that one soul might know its worth this Christmas, one heart experiencing the hope of Jesus for the first time…it would all be worth it. One son or daughter hearing the song, for the first time, that is calling them home!”

After all, that’s the thrill of hope!”

Love Be The Loudest Ginny Owens In Love Be The Loudest, her ninth studio release, Ginny Owens throws off expectations and with renewed faith inspires her fans to seek God’s voice above all the others.

“Most people think my greatest life challenge is blindness; I’ve been blind since age three. But that simply isn’t true,” says Owens. “My greatest challenge is doing battle with the critical voices in my head that distract me from what’s most important. It’s the whispers of those who feel sorry for me because of my physical challenge and don’t think I hear their comments. It’s the shouts of my own doubts and insecurities, asking, ‘Do you have anything valuable to contribute to society?’ It’s the mindless chatter of our culture, Street Date: November 18, 2016 inviting me to believe that any voice, as long as it’s loud, is fine. File under Christian Every song on this album is an invitation to my heart, and the heart of the listener, to allow God’s perfect voice of love and truth to be irresistible to our hearts, drowning out all other voices, and moving us to action.”

With a nearly two-decade long career that has included both Christian and mainstream success, she could have produced another lyrically-driven, acoustic-style album that has become her trademark. But she knew God was calling her to be bold and travel a new path. She set out to design an album that would reflect Soundcloud link: https://soundcloud.com/ current music trends and inspire listeners to put feet to their faith. the-fuel-music/sets/ginny-owens-love-be-the- loudest/s-8q3mX “For the last two years, God has had me on quite a journey, insisting I move out of my comfort zone, never to return,” Owens Track List shares. “All the songs on Love Be The Loudest reflect this. They all God Is Love (Intro) speak to how God has been challenging me to change, teaching Coming Alive me to understand that I’m alive to give to others and to trust Him The Loudest Voice with everything.” Love Looks Beautiful (feat Ellie Holcomb) The Way God Sees (Feat Mike Weaver) For Owens, trusting God meant choosing to work with new Fearless producers in order to push herself. Previously, Owens had written The Fire songs with a small circle of friends and colleagues, but for Love Be Go Be Light The Loudest, she ventured outside her usual musical realm to Made Fro Loving You (feat Andrew Bergthold) collaborate with well-known songwriters and producers such as How Much More (feat Meredith Andrews) Rusty Varenkamp (TobyMac, MIKESCHAIR, Jason Gray), Chad If You Want Me To Copelin (Ben Rector, All Sons & Daughters) and Josh Bronleewe Wonderful Wonder (feat Andrew Greer) (We Are Messengers, Natalie Grant). God Is Love (feat All Sons & Daughters Love Be The Loudest also moves into new musical territory, Socials combining Owens’ signature thoughtfully-crafted lyrics with pop http://ginnyowens.com and electronic dance music. “I’m a pop music junkie,” she admits, Facebook; 16,904 Likes “so it’s fun getting to embrace those sounds. I can’t believe I https://www.facebook.com/GinnyOwensMusic haven’t jumped into that space before now.” Although Twitter: 4166 Followers experimenting with drum samples and different sound palettes was https://twitter.com/ginnyowens exciting, she admits lyrics presented much more of a challenge. Instagram : 1502 Followers “The more up-tempo and the tighter a rhythm pattern is, the harder https://www.instagram.com/blindchickphotog/ it is to fit words in,” she shares. “Trying to say something real and YouTube: 2,129 subscribers • 546,016 views true and deep in the space of a pop song is hard, but definitely https://www.youtube.com/channel/ worth the effort. Each of the songs feels loaded with thoughts and heart I want to express.”
