Rip Gerber Honors Eric Church with a Soul-Stirring Tribute in “This Ranch Is My Church”
Rip Gerber’s new single, “This Ranch Is My Church,” is a poignant tribute encased in a powerful, soaring anthem. With this second single from Rip Gerbe’s forthcoming concept album, Three-Chord Town (due June 20, 2025), He has written a homage to the priorities of country music’s patron saint, Eric Church: his unerring commitment to family, community, and the American way.
But this song is about the deep-seated, unbending faith you’ll find outside of four walls, in an open sky, in rustling fields, in the quiet wisdom of the land. Anchored by a sweeping choral arrangement from the Golden Gate Men’s Chorus, “This Ranch Is My Church” is an experience.
The harmonies rise like a Sunday morning congregation, adding to the song’s naturalistic richness. And paired with an official music video that brings its message to life, the song allows you to feel it.
The ability to balance storytelling with emotion makes this single a winner for Gerber. Whether you’re a die-hard devotee of Eric Church or someone who’s found their own sense of spirituality in the wild, “This Ranch Is My Church” is a reminder of faith in the places that make them feel most alive.

Michael Soul hides from being open with new release “Hiding”
Michael Soul’s new single, “Hiding,” is a dark, hypnotic electronic track that takes listeners to a private place in their minds where they are alone, thinking, and feeling upset. “Hiding” was written when the author was very lonely. Michael Soul turns days of being alone, when silence seemed to last forever, and connection seemed impossible, into an immersive sound.
Andrea Mastroiacovo’s polished work makes the single even better, clarifying and deepening the song’s dark mood. The production carefully reflects that emotional weight with simple textures and dark electronic sounds that make you feel like you’re alone with your thoughts.
“Hiding” is a song about feeling alone, scared, and wanting to hide from being open. It asks questions that are quiet but sharp, like why do we hide what we feel? How does fear ruin love? And can we stop going in circles of misunderstanding and emotional distance? These echoes linger long after the track ends, prolonging the sound.

Grace Doty lights up the sky with new release “Sunset Colors”
Grace Doty’s newest single, “Sunset Colors,” takes listeners to golden-hour skies and quiet coastal roads from the start. Doty takes the emotional honesty of girl-pop from the late 1990s and early 2000s and gives it a softer, more modern look. “Sunset Colors” starts with a delicate mix of guitar and synth that makes the sound feel both dreamy and new.
“Sunset Colors” is about the feeling of falling in love for the first time, which happens naturally and without any effort, like the colors of a sunset sky slowly blending. Doty’s stories use this simplicity to let the feelings breathe rather than smother them.
“Sunset Colors” was made in her home studio along the Connecticut shoreline, the warm, atmospheric textures make you feel like you’re in the ocean air, and the music has a calm, quiet evening feel.
