Thirteen

Hi, I'm April Shipton and I'm a Christian singer and songwriter. I launched as a singer in 2016, recording in a studio for the first time and releasing 3 singles over the year, alongside worship leading at church.

But it didn't start here. It actually started 3 years earlier, when I first felt God prodding me about doing something with my life that I LOVED and serving him with it. This is the story of my journey from then to now.

If you love to worship Jesus, and new quality Christian music makes you happy, you just might be in the right place. :) Subscribe to my channel if you love to support emerging Christian artists, enjoy new worship music and want to journey with me - I'd love your support. Speak soon!

"Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing to the Lord, all the world, and praise him! Proclaim every day the good news that he has saved us." Psalm 96: 1-2

(Podcast) Talents And Passions - My Singing Story ...So Far!

Like a fender got drunk, fell down the stairs and landed in a drumkit - served with sweet, rich vocals dripping with attitude.

This is a God-song like you've never heard before.

Til I'm Blue

A raw, heartfelt prayer to a beautiful tune. Introduced by piano and cello, the reflective worship song culminates in a big, cathartic build section.

Least talks about laying ourselves down, so there is more room in our lives for God. It's a reminder that in our weakness, he is strong and when we're humbled, he is made great. And therefore we don't need to try to deal with feelings of inadequacy by putting on a front or trying to be perfect, but just by investing in our relationship with God, who takes us as we are - broken and failing - and makes us new.

Least

The raw, poetic emotion of Fortresses tells an evocative story of a relentless mother-daughter conflict that spanned April's teenage years. The warring parent and child imagery develops into a beautiful account of healing, forgiveness and transformation, gently revealed through its delicate, acoustic melody.

Fortresses

An upbeat summer anthem, Journey On is the driving song of 2018. If you love an uplifting message with a feel-good tune you won't get out of your head, you need it in your playlist.

Journey On

A smooth, cool salvation song with a dreamy, chilled summer evening feel. The crystal clear vocals of April Shipton sing of a new life and undeserved forgiveness, compelling a desire to 'tell the world about Jesus'. Gratitude ripples through the song and inspires us to remember what God has done in each of our own lives, and to live thankfully.

Now That I'm Saved

Mystery and intrigue meets energy and victory. Following her first ever single 'Invincible God' (2016), 'Invincible' is the 2019 remake that packs a punch and sets the tone for April's strong, faith-building new album coming this year. The profound lyrics of Invincible journal April's own experience of spiritual warfare, and seek to equip Christians with the peace and security that comes from knowing our God cannot be defeated.
