Xander Sallows, Sam Bowman - fake strong (CEDM)

Xander Sallows, Sam Bowman - fake strong
Xander Sallows and Sam Bowman have released a Christian EDM (CEDM) track called 'fake strong'.

Sam Bowman shares: "It's been so long since I was truly vulnerable.

My friend Xander Sallows and I are proud to present our brand-new EP, "fake strong." We had such a great time putting our heads together to dream up this project. If you count "Daydream," we spent over a year working together to finish it, which is kinda insane. The EP features three brand-new songs, and three other songs that definitely are not new but hopefully you will ignore that and still listen maybe? That'd be really nice if you wanted?

We hope "fake strong" encourages you. Both of us definitely have had the theme of vulnerability on our hearts over the past year. This EP explores that idea a lot. It's hard to let others know when you're not doing well. We want to look strong. However, that's just not reality all the time. The truth is that we're people. And people are needy- needy of Jesus. We hope this little group of tunes points you to the rest you can experience when you're united to Him."

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"Now And Forever" by John Perkins: When God's Faithfulness Outlasts Your Doubt

Doubt is a heavy thing to carry, and can cause one to question if these doubts could disqualify you from His presence? That's what "Now And Forever" by John Perkins is all about. It's a song about renewed faith and the stunning realization that God never leaves… even when you did.  John opens with honest praise: "You gave me breath when I was breathless // You gave me life when I wasn't there." That's not a performance or pretense… just an acknowledgement that our very existence is an act of grace. John shows us that the cross and His resurrection are very personal: "You showed me love through your crucifixion."   What makes this song very relatable is its refusal to dress up the struggle. Just like doubt didn't disqualify John from God's presence, your doubts won't disqualify you either. Weakness, low moments, our wavering faith — none of this can cause Him to break His promise. "Your word lifts me up when I'm feeling...

"Simple Life" by Zoe Helena Rose: When Silence Becomes the Song

"Simple Life" by Zoe Helena Rose is a beautiful invitation to stop chasing the noise long enough to hear something real… A song born during the quiet moments, on pages filled with scribbled thoughts, when life's noise stopped making sense. Not every artist finds their voice in the spotlight. For some artists, it comes from sitting still long enough to notice the simplicity, and that's when Zoe's pen hit the paper. The opening verse starts with the tension that so many feel: "Why does the world move so fast // Keep a heavy foot on the gas // How can I enjoy this life // When signs keep yelling strive or die?" Does that sound familiar? That relentless worldly pressure on you to perform, achieve, and keep up! Zoe names it honestly and then shows a way out. The chorus is about the turning point. "I packed my bags, I'm on the road now // Gotta leave this soul-less way behind." This isn't escapism. It's a decision to exchange the empty ...
