Kim Hopper - I Just Wanted You To Know

Kim Hopper has one of Southern Gospel's most dynamic and recognizable voices. This debut solo Canaan release showcases her versatility on songs such as The Woman In My Little Girl's Room, a parental reflection of children that seem to grow up too soon.

The LeFevre Quartet - Nothin' But Good

Soulful vocals, smooth harmonies, and a powerful Gospel message work together to make the Mike LeFevre Quartet’s debut Canaan release, Nothin’ But Good, a must-listen for Christian music fans of all backgrounds. While Canaan’s newest quartet stays honest to their Southern Gospel roots, their fresh vocal take on the Southern genre uses exciting and energetic tracks that place this group and album in a class all its own. Nothin’ But Good features a great blend of songs that appeal to the Southern listener while being firmly grounded in the church. A rendition of Didn’t It Rain, a traditional spiritual done “not so traditionally,” is sure to become an instant fan favorite. If you love music in a classic genre with a contemporary flair, then the Mike LeFevre Quartet is the group you’ve been waiting for!

Mike & Kelly Bowling - Faith To Believe

While both have had major success recording separately for years, Mike and Kelly Bowling now appear for the first time as husband and wife on their debut Canaan release, Faith To Believe. With a combined 11 GMA Dove awards, 3 Grammy nominations and over 20 #1 songs, this husband and wife team travels the world performing two hundred dates a year. Together Mike and Kelly, along with tenor Jeff Snyder, have created a sound that is as refreshing as the trio sounds of the early 70s. History will note that they have been true to the excellence of their ability without diminishing or distancing the listener and this album is certainly no exception. Faith To Believe is sure to pull the listener into the safe place of our Savior’s love and hold them there with rich, anointed vocals and soul-stirring songs. This is an album every Christian music lover will not want to miss!
