New Release Today “Behind the Song” devotional by Kevin Davis. #1219
“This song reminds me that we need to have that type of faith that Jesus describes in the Bible: “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” The key as a follower of Jesus is to walk by faith and to be guided in your daily walk by prayer and God’s infallible Word, the Bible. “Call Us Yours” invites listeners to pray and believe: “We keep running away, But you’re calling us back all over, Could these ruins be remade, Your forgiveness be our cover, Would you call us yours all over again.” Amen to that.”
NASHVILLE, TENN., USA – January 22, 2023 — The winners of the SongDoor 2022 Int’l. Songwriting Competition have been announced: the Grand Award has been won by Aryn Michelle of Texas for her outstanding song, “America,” which also won the Soft Rock category. “This was one of our hardest years to pick a winner,” says Tony Zotta, SongDoor president. “For Aryn to win two categories (she also won the Christian award for”Pariah”) amidst this kind of strong competition really says something about her innate talent. “‘America’ is such a relevant, timely song, and with its clever lyrics and amazing multiple hooks, it was a slam-dunk.”
Some of the SongDoor judges’ comments about Aryn’s winning song, “America”:
“SUPER melody and some unpredictable chord changes. I loved the hooky ‘doo doo doo’ and the fresh lyric concept. Excellent work!”
“I could sing this after hearing it once! Fabulous melody! Killer chorus lyrically and melodically. This song made me feel good. Excellent form and the movement between transitions were flawless. Great job!”
“No question, this was the best of the best. So topical, so true. Great crafting and relentlessly hooky melodies. Outstanding.”
Aryn Michelle’s recent release ‘Cast a Stone’ is a beautiful reflective piece, the final single from her new album ‘Pariah’ which centers around the theme of biblical outcasts. The track is a slow, deeply introspective piece that pushes me to reflect on how I may have passed judgement on people. The line “Who will be the first to cast a stone?” is the most riveting part of the song, where Aryn’s beautiful voice cascades through the melody of the line. ‘Cast a Stone’ retells the story of the woman caught in adultery who experienced the mercy and “fearless tenderness” of Jesus…
Aryn Michelle has just released a new single, “America,” the first of a three-song EP to be released over the summer. It’s an astute observation on the state of the world today. In America, the focus is all about image. No one wants to post an imperfect picture without a filter, or post about real life when we can make our lives seem polished and perfect. We idolize models and superstars, and care more about what others think of us than we do about striving to do what is right in the eyes of God. As Aryn Michelle sings in the bridge, “where’s the truth, where’s the life, where’s the way?” …
Pariah Pt. 1 Ep Posted December 21, 2021 By BrendanBurke_NRT, Staff Reviewer
What You Need To Know
Aryn
Michelle is a faith-based songwriter, recording artist, and mother of
four from Dallas, TX. Aryn’s emotive, alternative pop musical style is
“unlike anyone you’ve ever heard in Christian music.” Instead, she
strives to engage the mind and the heart so that the truth of scripture
freshly resonates with the listener.
What it Sounds Like
Alternative
pop is just one of the many genres you can throw this EP into. It’s
also worshipful and inspirational, all full of emotive lyrics and sounds
that are rarely heard in Christian music. Aryn’s vocals are soft and
relatable, blending well with the multiple styles found within these six
tracks. Her lyrics will grab your attention and from beginning to end
while offering something musically unique.
Spiritual Highlights
These six songs are full of inspirational lyrics. “Secondhand Love” gives us a powerful bridge stating, “And Heaven will remember me ’cause God don’t make mistakes. I may be lonely and unseen, but I am not forsaken,” which
shares the beautiful power of our Creator and the truth that we are
called to live in. We are not defined by our shortcomings, but by a God
who loves His Creation and calls us into community with him so that we
remain seen and understood. We are all created in God’s image, and he
loves all of us even when we are alone.
Best Song
The track that stands above the rest is “Furnace of Affliction.” You’ll love its catchy beat and powerful lyrics.
Final Word
Aryn
Michelle has found a great new groove with this EP. Her expressive
lyrics and unique vocals will help her stand out in a crowded pop scene.
I look forward to hearing new music from Aryn soon.
