Jonny Henninger x Melody Lynn - Your Love Is Simple (Chris Howland Remix)

When I first heard Jonathan's song I immediately wanted to remix it! I made a bootleg first draft and sent him a clip to see what he would think. Thankfully he liked it and agreed to send me the vocal files for me to make an official remix with. I'm super happy with how it came out and grateful for the chance to work with Jonathan. I love the dude's voice, his style, and the heart for God in his lyrics.


[Intro]
It's gonna be alright
Everything will be alright.

[Verse 1]
You're my faithful friend
When I feel like I'm on my own
(On my own)
You remind my heart
It's darkest right before the dawn
(It's darkest right before the dawn)

[Chorus]
'Cause even in the dead of night
When darkness is on every side
You're telling me to lift my eyes
It's gonna be alright, alright
Suddenly a light will shine
As we're waiting for the morning light
As steady as a new sunrise
It's gonna be alright, alright

[Post-Chorus]
Arise (Arise, arise)
And shine (And shine, and shine)
Arise (Arise, arise)
And shine (And shine, and shine)

[Verse 2]
Yeah, it's hard sometimes
But I know how the story ends
(I know how the story ends, yeah yeah)
Although this night is long
On Your faithfulness I can depend
(On your faithfulness I can depend)

[Chorus]
'Cause even in the dead of night
When darkness is on every side
You're telling me to lift my eyes
It's gonna be alright, alright
Suddenly a light will shine (yeah yeah)
As we're waiting for the morning light (morning light)
As steady as a new sunrise (yeah yeah)
It's gonna be alright, alright

Even in the dead of night (even in the dead of night)
When darkness is on every side (every side)
You're telling me to lift my eyes (my eyes)
It's gonna be alright, alright (alright)
Suddenly a light will shine (yeah yeah)
As we're waiting for the morning light (yeah yeah)
As steady as a new sunrise (yeah yeah)
It's gonna be alright, alright (alright)

[Outro]
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
everything will be alright

Lyrics:

Intro-
Good God, it's holding me down,
Cuz in the midst of my trials
I got a smile on my face,
Cuz God is in His place,
And I'm not trippin, no way

Verse-
I know that life moves so fast,
So my eyes are fixed on you God
I know these trials won't last,
My life is hid with you God

Gotta let go, no you gotta let go (x3)
Gotta let go, and let God take control

Hook-
You're holding me down down down down (x4)

Verse 2-
I know this time I spend here
Is only temporary
So I will trust in You God,
Though down these roads are scary
Live life, love God, think twice,
Don't go on your own understanding
Cuz God is chillin' in the sky,
Behold the beauty of our king

Gotta let go, no you gotta let go (x3)
Gotta let go, and let God take control

Hook-
You're holding me down down down down (x4)

Outro-
Haha, all glory to the risen King
Montell Fish, Chris Howland
Let me see you just clap, just clap, just clap, haha
Oh man, God is so good

Way Up

Way Up (feat. CASS & Sajan Nauriyal)

Had fun trying something a little different on this sort of Lo-Fi R&P track. Initially I was uncertain about who would fit on such an obscure instrumental. But Austin Sebek from Splendor Tree was adventurous enough to jump right onto this and bring it into a direction that sounds so smooth and natural. And adding that lovely soulful quality that she always brings, Sarah Juers graces this track with her own vocal touches, which are the perfect finishing compliments to the vibe that Austin started. Out now on The Amen Collective!

Chris Howland x Hyper Fenton x Sajan Nauriyal - Hiding Place

"Live and Move" blends elements of Pop, Funk, and Hip-Hop in a fun and stylish way. Laced with funky guitar, slapping bass, and dynamic vocals from 3 different artists, this song does a great job of highlighting each person's unique sound. Aaron Cole, Mr. Talkbox, and Phil J. all bring a distinct flavor to this groovy collaboration. Drawing inspiration from Acts 17:28, Howland penned the chorus based on the theme of having joyous gratitude for the life God has given.

Got to do a really fun remix for DJ EM-D with CASS on the vocals! I love getting to do remix work, because for some reason I feel less pressure than when I'm doing an original. I get to just have fun and play around with building off the foundation that has already been laid with the original vocals. Making music is sometimes a bit stressful, because I get sort of obsessive about the little details. So it's great when it can feel much more relaxed and fun, and I think that was the case with this one. I didn't have to overthink it, I just ran with it and enjoyed the process. Hope yall like the final result!

If you can do us a big favor, please fly over to Spotify and simply save this song to your favorite or add it to your playlists! And of course, if you liked the song please like it here and subscribe if you haven't already :) Many thanks fam, God bless!

Had the pleasure of remixing this DOPE track by up and coming UK artist Mid November! I love this dude's style, stay tuned for more music from me and him :) 

Hope everyone is staying safe and feeling the peace and comfort of God. He is good, He is in control, and He cares for His children. Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you.

Mid November x Chris Howland - Every Day (Remix)

Lyrics:

[Chorus: Chris Howland]
You loved a sinner like me
And I'm a sinner, it's true
But that's not all that You see
You made me perfectly new

Sometimes it's hard to believe
Someone as perfect as You
Could be so patient with me
So I just wanna be with You

You (x4)

[Verse 1: Jake James]
You got every reason to leave me
You don't hold 'em against me
You're mercies new, that's just life with You (uh)
I use You for things that I'm needing
But I'm feeling so empty
I take and choose, it's Your grace abused

And I wanna feel the weight of what You say to me
So You won't have to feel so far away from me
But You say that You've never been away
And You love me just the same

[Chorus: Chris Howland]
You loved a sinner like me
And I'm a sinner, it's true
But that's not all that You see
You made me perfectly new

Sometimes it's hard to believe
Someone as perfect as You
Could be so patient with me
So I just wanna be with You

[Verse 2: Jake James]
Give me Your eyes, mine are tired
Give me Your thoughts and desires
I wanna walk with You, I wanna talk with You
The only one I rely on
I just want to give You all my praise
You took my past with You in that grave

Fallin' into Your love
I'm all in, it's You I want
You always renew my mind, yeah (x2)

[Chorus: Chris Howland]
You loved a sinner like me
And I'm a sinner, it's true
But that's not all that You see
You made me perfectly new

Sometimes it's hard to believe
Someone as perfect as You
Could be so patient with me
So I just wanna be with You

You loved a sinner like me (you)
And I'm a sinner, it's true (you)
But that's not all that You see (you)
You made me perfectly new (You)

Sometimes it's hard to believe (You)
Someone as perfect as You (You)
Could be so patient with me (You)
So I just wanna be with You

You (x4)

With You

Chris Howland x Jake James - With You

Loving this remix I got to do for @NewdayWorship / @NewdayEvent !

Newday x Anna Brading - Solid Ground (Chris Howland Remix)

In 2017 this trio of artists first collaborated on "Way Up", a single which went on to garner millions of streams and receive ample support from Christian radio stations. Now Chris Howland, CASS, and Sajan Nauriyal have teamed up a second time to deliver their 2020 follow up entitled "Clear View", a song about enthusiastically facing the future instead of dwelling on the past or being paralyzed by uncertainty.

Clear View

Chris Howland x CASS x Sajan Nauriyal - Clear View

"Dreamworld is a bittersweet song about growing up and losing sight of childhood dreams. Matthew Parker sings honestly about the disparity between the rosy optimism of youth and the not-so-rosy realism we experience as adults. But the song holds out warm flickers of hope as it repeatedly circles back to the lyric "It's not over yet, I've still got 2 wishes left." On the production, Howland has soft acoustic guitars meet with modern 808's and somehow makes them get along like the best of friends. It's really quite dreamy."

Dreamworld

Chris Howland x Matthew Parker - Dreamworld

Wavy new collab with Mid November and Sajan Nauriyal! I've been loving some of the sounds I'm hearing in newer Trap / Hip-Hop / RnB music, so I wanted to bring a bit of that style to this remix. I know it can be a challenge to find Christian music that hits the same way as secular music does in terms of sheer production quality. I'm really trying my best to make music that can edify people in their walk with God while still getting them to make a stank face and bob their head. That's the mission. 

Do me a favor? If you use Spotify and enjoyed this song, simply add it to one of your playlists. It helps a lot!
