Zane & Donna King just released their long awaited project, Everything Good.

Donna says she is excited about the12-song album.

“Some of the songs on the record people will have heard if they tune into wonderful radio stations and listen because they were a handful of songs that went out ahead of the record,” she said,.

Everything Good is an invigorating collection that also introduces us to some entirely new songs, each radiating fresh energy and profound faith.

“But there are many new songs on this album and every song has a special place on the record and in our hearts, and we are praying that God uses this music to encourage and lift up people because we truly believe in the power of a lyric and a melody,” said Donna.

The Kingdom Heirs make a plea to seize salvation with “No Better Time”

SPECIAL CROSSROADS RECORDS

Arden, North Carolina (May 31, 2024) — For their first single since the release of last spring’s classics collection, Something Good, Volume 3 â€” and first new material in more than a year — Sonlite Records’ legendary Southern Gospel ensemble, the Kingdom Heirs, hit the ground running with a spirited plea to seize the opportunity for salvation with “No Better Time.”

Written by the powerhouse trio of Chris Binion, Dixie Phillips and Steve Marshall, “No Better Time” features a propulsive rhythm section, punctuation from an exuberant horn section and an unabashedly urgent lead vocal from tenor Joshua Horrell, who says, “I am excited for our friends to hear the title cut from our brand new recording, ‘No Better Time’! This song pretty much says it all! God is so faithful, and there’s no better time than now, in this world of chaos, than to reach for Him.”

Matching the immediacy of its message, “No Better Time” jumps from the start with an unstoppable groove, wasting no time before Horrell lets loose with boundless energy to deliver a first verse that lays out a simple, yet undeniable call before tumbling into the irresistibly singable chorus:

Everyone has a story
Everyone has a past
All of us need some freedom 
From the things that have held us back
So when we need a new beginning
All we have to do is ask

No better time than the present
No better time than the now
No better time than the moment
To be touched by His power
And see once again He is so faithful
He’s always changing lives
There’s no better way, no better day, no better time

Filled with all the attributes that have made the Kingdom Heirs one of Southern Gospel’s most beloved quartets, the plain truth is that there’s “No Better Time” for a song — and a message — that’s sure to fulfill fans’ long-held expectations

11th Hour’s new album,That’s Who He Is, out now

Published on by Texas GospelLeave a comment

SPECIAL: CROSSROADS RECORDS

Arden, North Carolina (May 17, 2024) — “This album!!! Wow, what can I say??” enthuses Amber Eppinette Saunders, powerhouse vocalist with Sonlite Records’ 11th Hour. “We have literally watched God do miracles and wonders from the beginning process of this project to even now! This is probably the most personal project we have ever done, and we can’t wait for you to hear our hearts through these songs!” 

Sure enough, one listen to the trio’s new collection is enough to justify the enthusiasm. With their first new music in more than two years, That’s Who He Is builds on the decade of successes embodied in last year’s A Collection of Hits to offer an album that blends full-throated proclamations of God’s strength and intimate meditations on doubt and faith, presented in a set of arrangements that range across equally broad musical ground. Yet each song, whether it’s given a straightforward Southern Gospel treatment or a more contemporary setting, is a vivid example of the inspired creativity and abundant talent for which 11th Hour has been known since their earliest days.

That deep craft and spirit is evident from the opening “Rock Bottom,” with a lyric that uses the title’s image in a clever, yet meaningful twist in its memorable chorus:

There’s a rock at the bottom 
And it’s Jesus, the Rock of Ages
So stand up, the ground is solid
There’s a rock at the bottom 
When you hit rock bottom

and a gripping lead vocal from Amber that soars over an expansive musical texture that has room for keyboards and banjo, too.

Similarly, the title track underpins emotive leads from Garrett Saunders and Amber with deft touches that include a soulful choir lifting up its message of a loving God who can supply everything the believer needs. Garrett leads on the album’s first single, too, delivering a prayerful “Dear Heavenly Father” that builds from a restrained, intimate opening to a triumphantly full texture over the course of its three and a half minutes, while Victoria Bowlin is well represented with featured numbers that include the pointed “You Can’t Tell Me That Ain’t God” and the serenely confident “Still Faithful.” There’s even a nod to sounds from beyond the Gospel music realm in the boldly contemporary, hopeful sound of “This Is Not The End.”

Adding to the excitement of the release, the entirety of That’s Who He Is will be available in immersive audio on platforms supporting Dolby Atmos, including Apple Music, Amazon Music and TIDAL. “It sounds like you’re sitting in the middle of a recording session hearing all these wonderful sounds,” says producer Roger Talley, who adds, “I thoroughly enjoyed working with 11th Hour on this, my first time producing a project for them. They did such a wonderful job on this project and I am so excited for you to hear it.”Listen to That’s Who He Is on Texas Gospel Canada!
