'Born New: Journey to Zion II' by Kosj Yamoah - Celebrate Your True Birthday


Kosj Yamoah's 'BORN NEW: Journey to Zion II (J2Z2)' is a heartfelt anthem with an invitation to celebrate a deeper, spiritual rebirth. Kosj shares that August, his birth month, reminds him of the scars and scrapes he's gathered throughtout his life. As we get older, birthdays lose more and more of their sparkle. 'Born New' intends to reignite true joy by focusing on the day that you surrendered yourself to God - that moment you were truly born. 

Kosj Yamoah - BORN NEW: Journey to Zion II (J2Z2)In the first part of the song, Kosj centers his lyrics around keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus. He sings, 'I don't look to the left or to the right, I got my eyes on the prize I ain't turning back.' What a beautiful reminder to stay focused on your faith journey, followed by a repeated affirmation, 'Brand New, I'm Born New.'

The second part of the song invites you to celebrate a more important 'birthday,' your anniversary of the day that you surrendered yourself to Christ. As Kosj sings 'Happy Birthday' he encourages you celebrate your rebirth in Christ and look forward to the joy that He promises us. 

So, if you're in need of a spiritual pick-me-up, then take a moment to listen to this song. May it ignite a celebration of your new life in Christ and help you to feel 'Born New' every day.

(Related scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ezekiel 36:26; Romans 6:4)

Secrets Artists Should Learn About The Spotify Algorithm

Spotify's competitive edge is the amount of data it holds on listeners and the way it uses that data to increase engagement. ... Using the same underlying data and technology can provide unique insights to record labels and artists about who's listening to what and help them reach more listeners. The Spotify algorithm sets itself apart from other digital music streaming services. The algorithm is an AI system known as BaRT (an abbreviation of Ba ndits for R ecommendations as T reatments). Basically, BaRT’s job is to keep listeners listening. It does this by playing and suggesting songs it knows the user is familiar with, while dropping in some fresh tracks it thinks they might like, but most importantly, haven’t heard before. This makes sure the listener is engaged, but things never get boring. BaRT decides what to suggest to listeners by combining two concepts – Explore and Exploit. This combination is the key to the platform’s recommendation system. Exploit uses the listene...

Josephine Grace - Higher Than the Heavens (CCM)

Josephine Grace has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Higher Than the Heavens. Josephine shared her story behind this song:  Some songs come quickly, some come slowly. This one was definitely the latter! It was way back in 2011 when I made a home demo of the first version of this song - it was moodier with completely different chords, melody and lyrics - and then it sat on the shelf (or more literally, on an external hard drive full of archived files) until the back end of last year. I’ve done some studying online with Hillsong College this past year and a half and at some point I’d explored what being wholehearted towards God means. Bits of the old song (it was called ‘I Will’ at that point), written quite directly from Psalm 108, started coming back to me beginning with Psalm 108:1 (NIV) “My heart, O God, is steadfast”.  I followed the melody in my mind to the chorus based on Psalm 108:4 (NIV) “For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your fa...
