This week’s premieres feature the second part of a trilogy and the latest from a “big” band.

A Dream To Believe In Vol. 2 is the second installment in Nicole C. Mullen’s thematic trilogy. While Sharecropper’s Seed Vol. 1 had an organically produced acoustic sound, A Dream To Believe In Vol. 2 leans strongly in the opposite direction, with a very contemporary pop sound, reminiscent of artists like Beyoncé Knowles and Janet Jackson.

Nicole’s songwriting talents that won her the Songwriter of the Year Dove Award are again evident on this her eighth studio album. Songs on the album were inspired by many great moments in history that have significant importance to our faith walk with God.

Big Daddy Weave has long been known for their poignant messages and words of encouragement through song and lyric. Songs like “Every Time I Breathe”, “Let It Rise”, and “Audience Of One” deeply resonate with audiences and have had a lasting impact on listeners.

Their latest release, What Life Would Be Like, dials up the intensity and asks the church body to step back and evaluate what a life with Jesus’ influence would look like in the full spectrum of living. Not that the members of Big Daddy Weave have it all together, but it’s an encouragement to step out together, to fail together, to link arms together and witness the masterpiece God desires to paint through each one of us.

Both albums will be arriving at your local Canadian Christian retailer on July 22nd. Keep track of all the new and upcoming releases via your own personal copy of the July New Music Tuesday poster. Head over to HearItFirst.ca to hear more from these new releases.
