Music Minute - Anne Wilson: Living Water

 

GRAMMY nominated songstress Anne Wilson releases her transformative feature track “Living Water” for the upcoming film Jesus Revolution. Arriving just days before celebrating the GRAMMY Awards in Los Angeles as a first-time nominee for her debut album My Jesus, “Living Water” finds Wilson's powerful vocals leading listeners on an ethereal quest to find true meaning. The accompanying visual, premiering exclusively on Facebook today, spotlights key clips from the film that help convey the power behind reconciliation and the peace found while surrendering to your faith.

Tapped by Lionsgate/Kingdom Story Company to pen the digital single, Wilson enlisted the help of renowned songwriters Matthew West and Jeff Pardo to write the feature track. The highly anticipated Jesus Revolution film starring Kelsey Grammer, Joel Courtney and Kimberly Williams-Perry will be hitting theaters nationwide on Feb. 24.   The artist with “unmistakable strength and unique country flair” (American Songwriter) is set to celebrate a big night of accomplishments at the 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards taking place this Sunday, Feb. 5 at the Crypto.com Arena in LA. Making her mark with her first recognition from the Academy, the milestone achievement was made by the 20-year-old vocalist in near-record timing, who transcended on the scene just 18 months ago with her “deeply personal breakout ballad” (Billboard) and now RIAA GOLD certified single, “My Jesus.” Not only was the Christian hitmaker recognized for a debut album (My Jesus), Wilson also represents the only female in the highly-revered Best Contemporary Christian Album category.    The GRAMMY nod comes after a breakthrough year that saw Wilson taking home two awards at the GMA Dove Awards, two K-LOVE Fan Awards, and a coveted American Music Awards nomination. After playing over 150+ shows in 2022, the newly-named Pandora Artist to Watch: Christian/Gospel shows no sign of slowing down, and continues to captivate cities nationwide on the 2023 Winter Jam tour.   For dates and more information, visit www.annewilsonofficial.com and keep up with her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

ABOUT ANNE WILSON: With a transcendent vocal, down-to-Earth storytelling and a Heaven-sent desire to glorify Jesus, Anne Wilson is one of Nashville's most inspiring young trailblazers – a Lexington, Ky. native mixing the heart of Contemporary Christian Music, and the sound of Country. Finding her musical mission in the wake of tragedy, Wilson delivered her first public performance at 15 while singing “What a Beautiful Name” at her brother's funeral in a moving expression of faith which soon went viral. Called in that moment to continue on, her 2021 debut single, “My Jesus,” marked the arrival of a new star, fusing personal conviction with upbeat roots energy to become a GOLD-certified No.1 on Billboard's Christian Airplay chart. The track made Wilson the first debut female solo artist in chart history to reach No.1 and went on to be named ASCAP's 2022 Christian Music Awards Song of the Year. Now boasting more than 435M global career streams, her rise is gaining momentum. Wilson is currently nominated for a GRAMMY for her 2022 debut album My Jesus (making her the only female in the category for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album), and has already won two GMA Dove Awards (New Artist of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year for “My Jesus”) and two K-LOVE Fan Awards (Female Artist of the Year and Breakout Single for “My Jesus”), while also scoring a coveted American Music Award nomination (Favorite Inspirational Artist). Making her Grand Ole Opry debut in 2021, Wilson continues to thrill live audiences, performing 150 shows in 2022 while being named to both the RIAA Class of 2022 and Pandora's Artists to Watch 2023: Christian/Gospel, and also publishing a bestselling book titled My Jesus: From Heartache To Hope last fall. Her uplifting anthem “Hey Girl” is out now and has led to the creation of Hey Girl Nation, a community for fans to connect and encourage self-worth. Wilson is looking ahead to a new chapter – one that builds on her vision, and continues to blur the musical divide. “It's the heart of Christian Music, the sound of Country … and the hope of Jesus,” she says. “I hope it all points back to Him.”   ABOUT JESUS REVOLUTION: In the 1970s, young Greg Laurie (Joel Courtney) is searching for all the right things in all the wrong places: until he meets Lonnie Frisbee (Jonathan Roumie), a charismatic hippie-street-preacher. Together with Pastor Chuck Smith (Kelsey Grammer), they open the doors of Smith's languishing church to an unexpected revival of radical and newfound love, leading to what TIME Magazine dubbed a JESUS REVOLUTION.
