Check out this month’s Featured Releases at CCMmagazine.com and ChristianMusicP***t.com! Among the titles, you’ll find new projects from...

• 33Miles
Musically diverse and innovative, 33Miles has a sound that immediately engages you with great vocals and memorable melodies while combining pop, rock, country and worship moments. From start to finish, you will catch yourself worshiping with this album while enjoying influences of Rascal Flatts, Casting Crowns, Keith Urban, and MercyMe. This debut disc from 33Miles features songs destined to become part of the fabric of the church, such as the hit single “What Could Be Better” and the worship song “There Is a God.”

• Playlist: Stand in Awe
The latest addition to Vineyard Music’s popular Playlist series, this album highlights the best new songs emerging from the Vineyard movement. Jeremy Riddle and Sheri Carr lend their voices to the project, along with a host of Vineyard worship leaders, delivering songs that are sometimes intimate, sometimes exclamatory, but always focused on a God so amazing that when we find ourselves in His presence, our only real response is to stand in awe of Him.
