Two new singles impact radio
Platinum-certified, Grammy-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson boldly transcends musical boundaries with the release of her latest offering, Rebel (The Beginning). The transformative three-pack marks the start of her new chapter seamlessly blending the country and Christian genres. Feautred on the project are the title track “Rebel,” Christian radio single “Strong” and the forthcoming country radio single “Rain In The Rearview.”
“I am beyond excited to send this new music out into the world,” shares Wilson. “These three songs felt like the perfect way to begin the next chapter of my musical journey. And I’ve got a lot more songs I’ve been writing, so this truly feels like the beginning of something special.”
Kicking off the new chapter of music is the loud-and-proud title track “Rebel,” in tribute to the original counter-culture movement that finds Wilson taking an “against the grain” approach. Backing defiant, almost dangerous-feeling vocals with roaring guitars, pounding drums and a gospel spirit, she delivers an up-tempo country-rock stomp that showcases her unwavering spirit.
Weary but never broken, Wilson lifts spirits with the Christian radio single “Strong.” Released with an all-new lyric video, the epic ballad leaves listeners feeling empowered to face whatever challenge comes next.
With emotions gathering like a distant storm, Wilson belts her eyes-to-the-sky country anthem, “Rain In The Rearview,” determined to leave the past behind and chase a fresh start. Matching the dark, intricate country sound is Wilson’s hurricane-force vocal, set to impact radio waves on October 9th.
Wilson is taking her new music on the road as part of her first-ever headlining My Jesus Tour, accompanied by special guest Josh Baldwin. The 20-stop, sold-out tour kicked off last night (Thurs, Sept 28th) in Houston, Texas, and is set to captivate audiences this fall in major cities nationwide including Austin, Atlanta, Charlotte, Indianapolis and Chicago.
Earlier this month, Wilson hit yet another milestone with her debut chart breaker “My Jesus” earning certified Platinum status by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The celebrations continued as she made her debut country award show performance at the 15th Annual ACM Honors at the historic Ryman Auditorium, joining Jordan Davis to perform “Buy Dirt.”
She also secured another Dove Award nomination for her 2022 Christmas project, The Manger, recognized in the category of Christmas/Special Event Album of the Year at the upcoming 54th Annual GMA Dove Awards. The recent Dove recognition adds to her already impressive collection of Dove honors which includes 2022 wins for New Artist of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year for “My Jesus.”
