350K+ Spotify Streaming Christian Artist Releases New EP On Good Friday

On Friday, April 15th, experimental Christian artist, HeIsTheArtist releases his 6-song EP, “The Faded Outro.” The EP features gospel, lo-fi and jazz mixes.
“Always remember where your soul came from, even with Heaven being faded into the background of our world”— HeIsTheArtist
In the past two years, Leemann Bassey aka HeIstheArtist has been racking up the accolades. With more than 350K Spotify streams, 7 Top 40 international iTunes charting hits (including three #1s!) across a variety of genres from Christian to jazz to electronic, and nominations in the Prayze Gospel Awards, the experimental musician has developed into one of music’s most unique and interesting new artists. On the heels of his current airplay chart hit, featuring a vocal intro from Grammy Winner, Joel Kibble (Take 6), HITA is releasing a 6-song EP on Good Friday, April 15th, 2022.
According to HeIsTheArtist, “The Faded Outro: The Crucifixion Of a Broken Heart’ is a 6 track EP that eludes to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The EP starts off with a Lo-Fi instrumental titled ‘Cloudy Sunday Morning,’ to set a somber tone. Then, comes my smooth jazz cover of the standard ‘Summertime’ to foreshadow the dark days ahead for Jesus, but at the same time providing reassurance that everything would be alright after his death. The EP then moves onto my #1 ITunes UK gospel cover of ‘I Want You Around’ by Snoh Aalegra, followed by the original version of my current single, ‘Boom (Remastered).” Both songs are meant to reassure the listeners of my belief in Jesus Christ as the Messiah. The last two tracks are my original Lo-Fi song ‘Colored’ and an original instrumental Lo-Fi track ‘The Faded Outro’. Both tracks are a reminder to remember that Jesus died on the cross to set our souls free and to always remember where your soul came from, even with heaven being faded into the background of our world.”
ABOUT HEISTHEARTIST: Hailing from Central Islip, NY and formerly signed under his birth name, LeeMann Bassey recorded and released secular r&b and dance music for Bentley Records. Inspired to release Christian music after hearing a sermon by Bishop TD Jakes, HeIsTheArtist cites influences including Prince, Chaka Khan, Sade, Maxwell, and D’Angelo.

Mick J. Clark shares a charming serenade with his recent release “My Friend Evonne”

“My Friend Evonne,” the newest single by singer-songwriter Mick J. Clark, pulled from his sixth album, ‘Pole Position,’ is a heartfelt tribute to friendship. It captures the unique, one-in-a-million kind of connection, the rare blend that embodies aspects of a soulmate, best friend, confidante, and lifelong partner, a relationship most of us only dream about.
The song radiates with overly sentimental warmth, layered in nostalgic charm and lyrical sincerity. From the first note, the gentle groove feels like slipping into a treasured memory. Clark’s deep and golden voice carries a kind of lived-in wisdom; it doesn’t just sing about love; it truly understands it.
Evonne, as depicted in the song, isn’t just the object of affection; she’s a magnetic muse, a vivid memory, and a mythical figure wrapped in genuine emotion, the spark that illuminates the entire song. Described as a princess and a devil, she takes on a cinematic quality in Clark’s world, one who’s impossible to replace, forget and even harder not to love. The beauty of the song lies in its simplicity: devoid of flashy production tricks or over-the-top dramatics, it emphasizes pure emotion, elite songwriting, and a melody that lingers like scent on a favorite shirt.
This authenticity is what keeps Mick J. Clark’s fanbase steadily growing. He writes from the heart, sings from the soul, and invites audiences into his narrative. “My Friend Evonne” isn’t just a song; it’s a sonic love letter with quite a triumphant chorus. And trust me, once you hear it, you’ll feel like you truly know Evonne.

Kate Neckel rides on emotions in new single “Wave Break”

Kate Neckel’s “Wave Break” bursts in with an invigorating splash of raw honesty. The song was recorded in a single spontaneous take from her NYC home and is a living, breathing moment. Once again, it is evident that Neckel’s boundary-shattering artistry also crosses disciplines.
“Wave Break” vibrates with unfiltered energy that can’t be faked. Just as she casts her visual art instinctively and quickly, her songwriting process is impulsive and in the moment. The effect is a track that feels more like a brushstroke on the canvas of your life than a studio-cut single. The imperfections are fingerprints and evidence of a real human being behind each note and breath.
What sets “Wave Break” apart is how closely it gets to a sense of place and presence. You can hear the hum of city life, apartment acoustics, and the urgency of inspiration coursing in real-time. It’s also intimate, gritty, and fiercely alive. Neckel’s voice glides along the track like the tide, flowing with feeling and then receding into reserve, and at no point does it lose its truthfulness.
As performer and producer, Neckel stamps every layer of the track with her artistic DNA. Even the single’s artwork, done by her hand, contributes to this immersive effect. “Wave Break” invites you to feel, see, and exist inside a moment of pure creative expression. “Wave Break” is a testament to her evolution from a visual artist to a storyteller and the power of the unfiltered when it comes to the art that matters most.
