'40 Years' is the first single from Ian’s sixth album 'Between The Joy And The Sorrow'. Born out of a difficult season, Yates sings that over the years he’s weathered many storms but one particular storm hit him really hard, this brought on panic attacks and anxiety. Yates says "I felt like I was falling apart, I. couldn’t sleep, I had palpitations, I couldn’t eat, I was full of anxiety. My prayer was God hold me. I was reminding myself of the times when I’ve gone through storms in the past and when I’ve seen Gods hand carry me through. I needed that again. I needed the one who has never let me go to hold me tight again.

40 Years - Ian Yates

'God You've Never Failed Me', the second single from his forthcoming sixth album 'Between the Joy and the sorrow'. The single will be released on Friday May 27th, with the album being released in two parts. Part 1 comes out June 24th and Part 2 will follow later in the year.

Ian already had the chorus idea for 'God You've Never Failed Me' and was inspired by his close friend Tim, who was going through his journey with cancer. Tim and his wife Tash’s updates on a friends and family Facebook group shaped the rest of the song and Ian dedicated this song to Tim. Before Tim passed Ian had the pleasure of sharing the song with him.

Born out of a difficult season of questioning and feeling like he couldn’t keep going with music anymore. Ian felt God speak so strongly to him to dream again. ‘I have given you a unique gifting and message, start to Dream again.’ Ian began to dream again for his city Liverpool, his songs and that history can be made.

With it’s prophetic voice ‘Dream Again’ encourages, inspires and challenges the listener to dream again. To lift up their heart from disappointment, lift up their head from broken dreams and go after all God has called them too.

Ian says ‘I pray this song is like touch paper and begins to set alight dormant and broken dreams. So many of us lay down our desires and passions through fear, the busyness of life and difficult circumstances. I firmly believe God is telling us to dream again, to see the kingdom of heaven touch earth. You are unique. You are His child. He has called you for greater things’

INFO
7Core Music are pleased to present to you the brand new album ‘Good News’ from Ian Yates. The Good News contains songs of truth, hope, love and the announcement of the goodness of God. Born out of a 2 year re-discovery of ‘What is the Good News ?’,
Ian says “It’s been a fun journey. I don’t think I’ve cracked it yet, and I probably never will, but one thing I’m certain of is that the Good News is better than I ever thought it was. The Jews said it was a scandal and a stumbling block, the Greeks thought it was absurd and utter nonsense (1 Cor 1:23 amp). Paul said that all would be judged according to his interpretation of the gospel (Rom2:16) Paul also said that it was ‘The glad message of the glory of the happy God’ (1Tim 1:11) - If the good news doesn’t sound toogood to be true we haven’t heard it right”.
We believe these songs carry strong biblical truth and the deep presence of God. We believe these songs are going to inspire,empower and impact many lives as people encounter and engage with a God who is full of love, kindness and mercy.
