TEXAS GOSPEL VOLUNTEER

2024 has proven to be a transformative year for Anthem Edition, the gospel quartet formerly known as The Old Paths. Following the success of their 2023 holiday album, Here Comes Christmas, the group has undergone changes, including the addition of tenor singer Cameron Edens, and the release of three singles: “Graveyard,” “Still Under His Feet,” and “Running.” The group’s latest project is Promises Kept and is released through Sonlite Records.

Tim Rackley, founding member and lead singer of Anthem Edition, says this album represents a meaningful milestone for the group. “This album is special to us,” said Rackley. “It marks the first time we’re making music together as a team with Cameron Edens and Andrew Utech, alongside our longtime brother, Doug Roark. These songs are a testament to God’s unwavering faithfulness, and we can’t wait for you to experience the message of hope and promise we’ve poured our hearts into.”

The album opens with the energetic track “Every Promise Made Is a Promise Kept,” written by Kenna Turner West and Jason Cox. Featuring a country-inspired arrangement and lively quartet harmonies, the song’s lyrics introduces the album’s central theme of God’s steadfast faithfulness:

There’s never been a time that He’s not faithfulNever been a day His words aren’t trueNever been a moment that our God won’tDo just what He said He’d doHe’s never ever failed to keep one yetEvery promise made is a promise kept.

Roger Talley, the producer of Promises Kept, praised the group’s dedication and renewed energy during the project’s creation. “I thoroughly enjoyed producing this new EP for Anthem Edition,” Talley shared. “They approached this project with a renewed passion and more energy than they have ever had before. We found some great new songs to express their commitment to singing the Gospel with a new excitement that I can’t wait for you to hear. A unique feature of this project is the number of uptempo songs they have chosen. For anyone who has ever complained about too many slow songs, this project is for you!”

With Promises Kept, Anthem Edition builds on their storied history while embracing a new chapter with Edens and Utech as part of their lineup.

SPECIAL: HORIZON & SONLITE RECORDS

Arden, North Carolina (September 27, 2024) — Their first single of the year is just making its way onto the Southern Gospel airplay charts, but Anthem Edition (formerly known as The Old Paths) are keeping fans happy with another release: “Still Under His Feet,” a song that offers a message of hope and resilience born of faith.

“Featuring Cameron Eden’s debut as tenor,” observes lead singer Tim Rackley, “‘Still Under His Feet’ is a powerful testament to God’s unwavering sovereignty.” And indeed, with a powerful rhythm section that surges underneath piano and guitars — including pedal steel supplied by master studio musician David Johnson — at a measured pace, the song convincingly conveys the burdens of anxiety and doubt before supplying the answer of salvation in its stirring chorus:

I’ve tried walking on water, in my own ability,
Just to find myself drowning, in a sea, of anxiety,
But just when it feels like, I’m going down, for the last time,
From out of nowhere, Jesus slips His hand in mine….

When I’m in, over my head, it’s still under His feet,
When I’m barely holding on, He’s holding me,
When waves of sorrow, are crashing over me…
When, I’m in, over my head, it’s still under His feet.

“As Cameron’s first national single and the winner of the Singing News Songwriting Contest in 2023,” Rackley notes with conviction, “This song is destined to resonate deeply with listeners and become a defining moment in Southern Gospel music.”

“Still Under His Feet” is streaming in Dolby Atmos spatial audio on Apple Music, Amazon Music and TIDAL.
