Canadian worship collective HOMECOMING releases their new alternative worship anthem “UPSIDE DOWN” today, continuing a breakout season of momentum since joining NRT Music. The group has quickly proven to be an emerging young voice in modern worship, surpassing 600,000 total streams across Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music in under a year, as their songs connect deeply with young worshippers and church communities across Canada and beyond. “UPSIDE DOWN” captures the moment Jesus breaks through fear, anxiety, and the empty patterns that never satisfy. Written out of HOMECOMING’s own battles with doubt, the song reflects the shock of discovering real joy in Him. It stands as a reminder that Jesus…

Matthew West begins 2026 with the release of his new song, “Good,” a contemplative and lyrically grounded offering from “one of Christian music’s most prolific singer-songwriters” (Billboard). The track reflects West’s continued focus on songs that wrestle honestly with faith, humility and grace setting the tone for a year defined by creative clarity and spiritual depth. “I’m so excited to start this new year with a new song! ‘Good’ is about my lifelong journey to understand God’s grace,” shares West. “I spent a long time treating grace like a ladder I had to climb if I did enough good things, then I’d be worthy of God’s love.
