Here are the "can't miss" singles released this week. 


Michael W. Smith - "Waymaker"

After an incredible year of music in 2018, Michael W. Smith is continuing to keep his foot on the gas with the announcement of a full-length live worship recording coming later this month. The first single from that project, "Waymaker," which features  Vanessa Campagna and Madelyn Berry, dropped today. Awaken: The Surrounded Experience will release on Friday, February 22 and was captured from The Surrounded event at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN last year in front of 14,000 attendees.
 

Danny Gokey - "Haven't Seen It Yet"

The new single from Danny Gokey released last month, the but the video is hitting today and it's totally worth a mention with its powerful story of a lost daughter finding her way home to a loving father who desires to make things right. Don't miss this one!
 

Koryn Hawthorne feat. Lecrae - "Unstoppable"

With a genre-busting flow and a resilient message extolling no limits, being unstoppable, Koryn Hawthorne continues to push the envelope as an artist with this latest single from last year's album, adding in an appearance by rapper Lecrae. This new version follows a breakout year for Hawthorne and her much-hailed #1 record-breaking hit single “Won’t He Do It,” where she made history as the first female artist to hold #1 on Billboard’s Hot Gospel Songs chart over 25 weeks.
 

Vineyard Worship - "You're Carrying Me"

Vineyard Worship announced that they will be releasing a new song every month. February's track was recorded at Anchour Studio in Maine and led by Joshua Miller ("We Are Hungry"," You Have Set Me Free"). “You're Carrying Me” comes with a toolkit of resources–tutorials on various instruments, multitrack stems, as well as a live-in-studio video of the song. 
 

 
DaysEye - "Victory"

The independent band who self-describe as a "hard-rock Skillet" act release a new single before their Victory EP streets on Friday, February 15, 2019. 
 

Brian Ortize feat. London Gatch "Only Jesus"

New BEC Worship artist Brian Ortize joins new labelmate, and former Elevation Worship leader London Gatch on a new single that's dropping just months from his debut EP that release last November. 
 

Royal Company "Found In You"

Royal Company is a songwriting collective birthed from Bethany First Church of The Nazarene. Their third single, "Found in You," is an awesome pop track that's about discovering your identity in Christ; not in your mistakes, your past, or even the fear of your future. 
 

Eversmith feat. Deraj - "Jehovah Jireh" 

After releasing an EP and Christmas EP last year, the brother/sister pop worship duo, Eversmith, release a new single that features rapper Deraj. 
 

Derej - "Genes"

The rapper is not only guesting on new music this week but releasing his own single. "We were made for more and need to be reminded that greatness lives within us," Deraj says. "I want to boldly encourage my listeners to aim high and don’t settle for less than who God made them to be."
