Val Kilmer, the enigmatic and deeply talented actor whose voice brought to life both Moses and the voice of God in The Prince of Egypt, has died at the age of 65 from pneumonia on Tuesday, April 1, 2025 in Los Angeles. With a career spanning more than four decades, Kilmer was a rare kind of artist—one who could channel both power and vulnerability, darkness and light, and in doing so, touch the divine and the deeply human all at once. In The Prince of Egypt (1998), Kilmer was the soul of the film. As Moses, he portrayed a man torn between two identities, called to lead his people in…

DOGE has quickly become one of the most divisive forces in the country in recent months. While its supporters praise its swift actions in reducing government waste, fraud, and abuse, critics warn that essential services are being slashed without sufficient consideration. But one thing is clear DOGE shows no signs of slowing down, and now, Elon Musk and his team of young tech-savvy disruptors have set their sights on one of the last bastions of unchecked excess–the Christian Music Industry. Their mission? To cut what they consider a bloated and wasteful release schedule. “There’s just too much music,” said Derek, a lead technician who has been working grueling 120-hour weeks…

It’s a crisis. An epidemic. A full-blown catastrophe. Every single month, thousands of Christian songs flood streaming platforms worship, rock, pop, gospel, rap, EDM, acoustic ballads, spoken-word poetry set to synth pads, rubber chickens belting out the latest praise covers… But let’s be real who has time to listen to all of it? Between work, family, and endless doomscrolling, no one has hours to burn on the fourth Bethel live album in 12 months, or the 24th Forrest Frank release this year, or one more remix of “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” Introducing NRT RADIO RUSH–the world’s first high-speed Christian radio station. We’re here to fix the problem the industry refuses to…

For over a decade, the K-Love Fan Awards have brought Christian music fans together for an epic destination weekend capped with a star-studded award show. However, this year’s event, which takes place May 23-25, 2025, in Nashville, TN, is already swirling in controversy. After the announcement that this year’s hosts would be four white guys, NewReleaseToday’s crack team of serious entertainment journalists decided to get the rest of the story. While we hate reporting on sensationalism from random, unidentified sources, we feel this was too shocking to ignore. After the recent Presidential election, companies began dumping their DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs, and K-Love was no exception. The unexpected…

Hot on the heels of the major announcements of MercyMe’s I Can Only Imagine 2 and Jeremy Camp’s I Still Believe Still (announced earlier today during our K-Love host interview), the Christian music world is abuzz with the latest shocking movie announcement that’s based on a popular hit Christian song–Christian rock legends Newsboys are set to star in their own action-packed cinematic spectacle, Breakfast In Hell! The film, inspired by their fan-favorite 1996 hit “Breakfast,” promises a genre-defying mix of faith, fantasy, and full-throttle cereal warfare, bringing some of the most infamous breakfast villains to the big screen for the first time ever. “This is a live-action remake that hasn’t…

For over three decades, CeCe Winans has graced us with her stunning vocals, heartfelt worship, and–let’s be real–an awards shelf that probably needs its own zip code. She’s one of the most decorated gospel artists of all time, boasting more Grammys than some people have socks. But do we really know CeCe? Well, wonder no more. Today, CeCe announced her brand-new project, The CeCe Whinings Podcast, a no-holds-barred, unfiltered glimpse into her world. (And no, before you ask, it’s not just an hour of her dramatically sighing into a microphone. Probably.) Each episode will feature CeCe alongside a guest female artist, swapping stories about life’s struggles and the wild ride…
