Today's Video Share: "God of Covenant" by Tolu!

God Of Covenant is the defining song for my upcoming Covenant Child album. This song is a celebration of God’s faithfulness through the ages, and is so special to me as it represents all the ways God has loved and been faithful to me in my lifetime. He has seen me though dark times and uplifted me on the other side of it.

I hope this song encourages anyone going through hard times that God is the God of Covenant, always staying true to His word. His promises are Yes and Amen and even as He kept His covenant in the old days, He will keep the new covenant He has with us through Christ's salvation.

Today's Video Share: "Cursed" by Rosie Bell

The single 'Cursed' was inspired by a character from the television series 'The Vampire Diaries" and "The Originals". Fans of the show loved to create edits of the characters so we teamed up to make a lyric video that would showcase the character and show how the singer could well be "Cursed" for falling in love with him. The artist Rosie Bell is a writer from Ireland who typically writes for TV and sync but decided to channel her own inner Kate Bush to bring this fun, sexy song to life.

Today's Video Share: "Whistle Blow" by Rachael Sage

Rachael Sage’s “Whistle Blow”, with its distinctly Americana palette of slide and acoustic guitars, finds the award-winning songwriter musing on power dynamics and boundaries in the wake of many a public figure’s bad behavior come to light. A composite account of women’s struggles to be respected in the workplace, at home, and in history books, this propulsive, musically lush track will resonate with anyone summoning the strength to stand up for themselves – and against oppression in any form. The beguiling one-shot video was directed and produced by Jenny He and features Rachael Sage and dancer/choreographer Kyle Livsey. Filmed at The Art Factory in New Jersey, the director used the natural light of the windows, which inevitably varied throughout the day, until the early evening light set the stage perfectly for the mood of the song. Sage explains, "We wanted the video to express the mounting drain of 'carrying' someone else, all their baggage and lack of boundaries - and to project the weight of what it feels like to be trapped within any kind of relationship, through movement. I've never done a one-shot video before and it was challenging - no edits! - but ultimately, I think it really serves the song and allows the viewer to experience the various power dynamics that 'Whistle Blow' spotlights, in an abstract, poetic way.” As a visual artist and a former ballet dancer who performed with the New York City Ballet, Sage brings elements of those disciplines into the video for "Whistle Blow".

Today's Video Share: "Don't Look Back" by Margaret Anne and the Rock It Man

“I am an Australian singer-songwriter. I grew up in a musical family and started playing classical piano as a child before traveling to over seventy countries including the far reaches of “Tibet and Asia, South and North America, Africa, and Europe”.

After the break up of my marriage, I teamed up with the multi-instrumentalist producer and Mythbusters screenwriter, Doug Weaver, to write and produce the Album 'Soul Laid Bare'.

I wrote 'Don't look back' on a sheep station with Australian country artist Shane Nicholson, two months after leaving my very difficult twenty-year marriage.

The video is filmed within five kilometers of my hometown in Australia and includes modern-day footage and also clips from when I was three years old through to the end of the marriage. I hope you like it!”
