Tiffany Coburn Declares a Message of Hope with You Are More
SPECIAL STOWTOWN RECORDS
Nashville, TN (April 30, 2021) – StowTown Records is thrilled to announce the release of Tiffany Coburn‘s sophomore solo project, You Are More. As an artist who is celebrated for her powerhouse vocals that soar high above the music and linger after the cutoff, it would be easy for Tiffany to record big numbers that merely serve to showcase her vocal prowess. Instead, she chose songs based on their timely message of unwavering hope; songs to which she can personally relate. With all-new songs written by some of gospel music’s top songwriters, You Are More is a poignant, relevant example of what it means to persevere.
Widely known as a member of the acclaimed acapella group, Voctave, and longtime performer with Disney’s Voices of Liberty, Tiffany is beyond excited to share her latest solo endeavor with the world. She explains, “I am so happy to be releasing these songs during spring. We’ve all walked through a global pandemic and for those of us who are here – it is for a purpose. We are awakening, stepping out into His grace, laughing, working, living, and connecting with others once again.” Themes of grace weave an exquisite tapestry throughout each song on the project, highlighting that we are all made in the likeness of God and are able to receive love and forgiveness no matter who we are, where we are, or what we have done.
The title track, written by Wayne Haun and Joel Lindsey, is a beautiful reminder to everyone that they matter. The lyrics relay the message that people of “every shape” and “every shade” are “wonderfully made.” “You Are More” could not have come at better time. This song is a heartfelt, soul-stirring anthem of encouragement.
“Roll Back River,” the first radio single from the project, has hit the airwaves on major radio stations across the country. “When I Let It Go,” written by Haun, Lindsey, Carolyn Cross and Val Dacus, is a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece that speaks of grace coming through total surrender. To close out this album of incredible new songs, Coburn sings a lovely rendition of the classic, “Seasons of the Soul.” It perfectly sums up the state of hopefulness and spring that Tiffany wishes to convey.
Tiffany’s breathtaking vocals blend beautifully with the featured guests on the project. Grammy® Award-nominated and GMA Dove Award-winning artists Point of Grace, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, Joseph Habedank, and The Isaacs all make appearances on the album. “I am honored that they have all poured their unbelievable talents into this project. It is truly a blessing,” Tiffany says.
Embracing Tiffany’s vision for this album was easy for multi-award winning producer and arranger Wayne Haun. Wayne shares, “Tiffany is an artist’s artist. She is a teacher, a communicator and a performer. That is evident on this project due to the amount of major talent that wanted to collaborate with her.” In addition to extending the invitation to these guest vocalists, Haun invited Les Misérables Musical Director Brian Eads to orchestrate one of the tracks, “Then There’s Grace.” Haun continues, “She is one of the most seasoned singers I know. Time and again I’ve seen lines of young musicians just trying to get two minutes’ worth of her masterful advice. Her talent is seriously off the charts, and yet her humility is genuine. I think this album really reveals her heart, set to music.”
With versatile musical stylings, You Are More is both fresh and nostalgic and is sure to have broad appeal with multi-generational audiences. Distributed exclusively by Provident/Sony, You Are More is available at digital and retail outlets worldwide.

God told me…
TEXAS GOSPEL STAFF
There are three words that I think are thrown around too often today. They are “God told me.”
I’ve had people tell me that God told them a certain politician would win an election or that God revealed some secret to them. One man told me years ago that God revealed to him that he would own the radio station at which I worked. None of these things came to pass.
Deuteronomy tells us something I would think is obvious: if what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place…that is a message the Lord has not spoken. And 2 Peter has a stern warning for those who falsely proclaim things in the name of God.
Do you keep on guard for those who appear to be speaking God’s word, but only deceive others, and quite possibly themselves as well?
Church News weekend report
Jeff Turner
Reports of vandalism and acts of aggression against the Church in North America have been light this week.
A project to rebuild a church building destroyed by arson in British Columbia may be complete as early as June. The rebuild of Murray Church in Merritt has been slowed because of COVID-19 restrictions. The man accused of intentionally setting fire to the structure and two other houses of worship is awaiting trial. The court has issued a publication band on any specifics of the case.
Three statues at the Holy Rosary Church in Woodland, California were vandalized this week. No property was taken, and the motive – if any -behind the vandalism is not known. The Holy Rosary Church has been part of the Woodland community for more than 150 years.
A vandal or vandals set fire to a shrine in Ludlow, Massachusetts on Friday. A spokesperson for Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Ludlow said damage was limited to an arch over a statue of Mary.
A Sacred Heart of Jesus Statue has been restored at St. Patrick Cathedral in El Paso, TX after a year’s work to repair $25,000 in damage caused by vandal. The Police last year charged Isiah Cantrell, 31, with vandalism and drug possession shortly after the crime.
That’s a look at crimes against the church in North America this week
