The Free Christian Music Blog

The Weekly Downloads: Oct. 6 – Oct. 12

Welcome to another week of free downloads from all of usual suspects – iTickets, NewReleaseTuesday, Tangle, and Gospel Music Channel – this week, there’s about twice as much music as normal, thanks to Gotee Records – but more on that in a bit.

First up this week, Tangle.com is featuring Mandisa’s song “He Is With You” on their homepage.  It’s from Mandisa’s sophomore album Freedom, and the soundtrack to Mandisa’s second music video, which you can watch here.  Check it out!

Also free this week is a brand new Christmas song from Chris Tomlin, courtesy of Gospel Music Channel.  It’s called “Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground)”, from Chris’s new album Glory in the Highest, which came out two days ago on Oct. 6.  Incidentally, that’s the same release date as Downhere & Family Force 5′s Christmas albums.  Anyway, it’s never to early to start collecting Christmas music, and this is a pretty good place to start.

Besides that, last week, Gospel Music Channel had pretty cool song that’s still available.  It’s “It Is Your Grace”, by Andreas Sandlund.  If the name sounds familiar, there’s a good reason – I was privileged to feature his song “We’re Miles Away” on TFCMB last January, and I’m really excited to see him getting some major attention.  Definitely check this one out!

iTickets also has several free downloads this week, from COS, Relient K, and Paul Wright.  Now, Relient K shouldn’t need much introduction, nor should Paul Wright, but COS doesn’t have the advantage of being famous, at least not yet.  Basically, “Your Will” is a super-stripped down worship song, it’s barely acoustic, and actually sounds quite good.  Worth checking out.

This post is getting long… and I’m only about half way.  Seriously, this is a big week – and the biggest batch of downloads of from NewReleaseTuesday.com.  They have a whopping 8 downloads this week, seven of whom are Gotee Records artists.  The listing:

• Relient K – “The Lining Is Silver”
• B.Reith – “Mess”
• House of Heroes – “In The Valley of the Dying Sun”
• Abandon Kansas – “I Wonder If It’s Me”
• Ayeisha Woods – “Transparent”
• Stephanie Smith – “Not Afraid”
• I Am Terrified – “Falling On Everlasting”

And hanging on from last week, an excellent song from non-Gotee artist Matt Maher called “Alive Again”.  I’ve already gotten all 8 songs free from other sites, but if you’re missing all or any, this is a great opportunity to download them, for free.

Augh!  I just keep finding more music…  ah, it’s hard to complain about that.  You can also get three free songs from Michael W. Smith, Matt Maher (once again!), and Phil Stacey at this link:
