John Reuben
The Weekly Downloads: Jan. 5 ~ Jan. 11
Well, it’s good to be getting back into the swing of things after the New Year – it seemed like the music world almost shut down the week between Christmas and January 1st. Thankfully, everything seems to be picking back up again, and this week there’s quite a nice selection of free songs available – plus, a music video from a great new artist, The Contact.
First up this week, Gospel Music Channel has Philmont’s energetic and extremely catchy “Back Down” available, from the band’s Attention album. If you didn’t get this from the HearItFirst newsletter last summer, I’d definitely recommend picking it up now.
Next up, another very catchy track, this time from John Reuben and New Release Tuesday. The song is “No Be Nah”, from Mr. Reuben’s latest. “No Be Nah” has been available several other places so far, but if you missed out on picking it before, and you happen to be a member of NRT, now’s a great chance to snag it.
Also available is Laura Story’s new song “What A Savior”, which is straight off the new Catalyst Music Project album. It’s free this week on FreeCCM.com, or you can download it from the Catalyst Music Project as well. Check it out!

Next up, VideoRocket.com is offering new artist The Contact’s music video for their current single “My Divine”. I first heard these guys on last year’s Huntington University sampler, and I was extremely impressed – definitely worth checking out. Enjoy!

As if that’s not enough, Tangle.com is giving away Jonny Diaz’s song “Love Like You Loved”. The song has a bit of a Jimmy Needham vibe, maybe a bit of Brandon Heath, and is really pretty good.
Rounding out this week’s list is worship leader Brandon Bee’s song “Your Holiness”. It’s from Brandon’s album This Is The Revolution, and it’s available from iTickets.
Hip-Hop Holiday
Free music today from approximately 10 Christian hip-hop/rap artists, courtesy of HearItFirst.com. It’s part of a Christmas promotion Hear It First is running, called “Hip-Hop Holiday”. Basically, it’s a collection of 10 Christian rap artists, both well know and not so well know, with free mp3 downloads for eight of the ten. Here’s the list:
- B.Reith – “Go On”
- Cross Movement – “Wisemen”
- Benjiman – “Eh Oh”
- John Reuben – “No Be Nah”
- Monty G – “My Hood to Your Hood (Feat. Canton Jones)”
- Aaron Sledge – “Extra Mile”
- Only Won – “Searchin’”
- Xross – “Y U Runnin’”
Just like HearItFirst’s Rocktober promotion, the download links are on each artist’s profiles, which can easily access from the main promotion page. I’d recommend John Reuben’s track in particular if you haven’t gotten it yet, it’s quite good. Anyway, check them out, and enjoy!
The Weekly Downloads: Dec. 1 ~ Dec. 7
I’m seeing a lot more Christmas music this week, with almost all of my regular websites featuring at least one Christmas song, plus a sprinkling of normal music for a decent week all around.
First up, iTickets has two free songs, The Sonflowerz’s Christmas song “Beautiful Miracle” and an early Jonny Diaz song called “You Are A Storm”. “You Are A Storm” is actually back from Jonny’s independant days, from an album called They Need Love. Check it out!
Also free this week, Video Rocket has John Reuben’s zany music video for “Town Folk”. It’s actually a retelling of a several stories from the Old Testament, in a rather crazy, but still entertaining way. Worth getting for sure.

Next up, Gospel Music Channel has two free downloads this week, a Christmas song from Trin-i-tee 5:7 and the radio edit version of Shane & Shane’s great song “Everything is Different”.

FreeCCM.com has got a free Christmas song from Todd Agnew called “Did You Know?”, from Todd’s Christmas album Do You See What I See?. FreeCCM is supposed to be featuring exclusively Christmas music this week, so I’m holding my breathe for Stellar Kart’s “Punk the Halls”.

Last but not least this week, New Release Tuesday has a free download of Kari Jobe’s “Adore Him”, and if you missed it last week, you can also download Dreampilot’s song “Comedown” – which, as I said before, is a very catchy song. Enjoy!

Well, that wraps up this week – look for more music on Tuesday!
John Reu, House of Heroes, and The Sonflowerz
iTicket’s has got some very cool downloads this week, from John Reuben, House of Heroes, and new artist The Sonflowerz. John Reuben’s track, “Do Not”, is a classic song from Reuben, and also the soundtrack to his first music video ever. More on that in a bit. Also featured is HoH’s jammin’ song “If” from their latest, The End Is Not The End, and The Sonflowerz’s “Edge of My Seat”. If you’re a fan of Point of Grace, or female-fronted folk-tinged pop in general, don’t miss these girls. They’re definitely a new artist to keep an eye on.
Now, the music video for “Do Not”. The Christian music video website VideoRocket is giving away a free copy of the music video for this week only. I have to say, “Do Not” is probably my favorite John Reuben video (unless you count the extented edition of “Doin”. That would be close.) Reuben’s got a nack for quirky videos with memorable characters, and “Do Not”‘s disgruntled ice cream man is no exception. What follows is pure Reuben fun. Check it out!

And while I’m talking about John Reuben, I might as well mention that I found him on Twitter a few days ago, so… If you ever want to see what Reuben is dippity dip doin’ (I know, I just couldn’t resist…) you can follow him here.
Free Music from Gotee Records
I’ve got some sweet downloads today from a whole slew of artists on Gotee Records. Gotee.com just got a whole new free download section of the site. They actually added the new features a week or two ago, but because of technical issues, no one was able to sign in to download the songs.
Thankfully, they were able to find and fix the problem and now, all 8 downloads should work just fine. They actually have one download from every artist on Gotee (Relient K, I Am Terrified, House of Heroes, John Reuben, etc) except for Flynn Adam, who just signed.
The cool part is that you can use the same email and password from FreeGotee.com on Gotee.com – very convient. Plus, it’s free music, and almost all of it is extremely good. What do you have to lose?
Speedlinking: Brave Saint Saturn, Lincon Brewster, Addison Road
Speedlinking once again (Friday, because James found a sweet sampler he couldn’t wait to post about. ) Anyway, speedlinking is something I started last week, basically, to save myself time and to diversify somewhat. You can see last week’s introduction here. That said, let’s get started:
1. Brave Saint Saturn has given Indie Vision Music permission to give their song “Starling” away as a free download. Brave Saint Saturn is the electronic side project of several members of Five Iron Frenzy.
2. I was emailed about this 100 Places to Find Free Christian Music Online list this week, and would have had to share it even if TFCMB wasn’t number 21 on the list. It’s extremely complete, and worth perusing.
3. Indie Vision Music has also got two brand new downloads from Gasoline Heart and Discover America. Looks good!
4. Indie Vision Music also has got a full CD download from Amohalko. It’s a full CD called Spark, and looks sweet. Three downloads in one post – yes, Indie Vision Music is amazing.
5. This week’s video is Joy Electric – “What Electricity Made”. See it here.
6. iTicket’s has a free download this week of Lincoln Brewster‘s new song “Today Is the Day”.
7. Total Axxess has a free download of Addison Road’s “Sticking With You”. It looks like it’s only going to be available for a limited time, so grab a copy fast.
7. And last but definitely not least, this week’s archived download is actually a sampler from HearItFirst.com. Check the original post for details.
Slammin’ Downloads Courtesy of HearItFirst
Ten free songs today courtesy of HearItFirst.com and TobyMac. My research indicates that it was a promo for Portable Sounds. You may have heard about it, kind of a big deal. Anyway, the sampler is still live online and has some sweet music. Notice the inclusion of TobyMac’s smash hit “Made To Love”. I was definitely surprised to see that free.
The list:
- TobyMac – “Made To Love”
- Shawn MacDonald – “Pour Out”
- Rebecca St. James – “God Help Me”
- Sanctus Real – “Fly”
- Our Hearts Hero – “Back To The Cross”
- John Reuben – “Word of Mouth”
- Britt Nicole – “Indestructible”
- Future of Forestry – “Open Wide”
- David Crowder Band – “You Are My Joy”
- This Beautiful Republic – “Jesus to this World”
As you can see, there’s quite a lot of good songs on there. Particularly John Reuben and Britt Nicole, in my opinion. Actually, the Britt Nicole song is quite rare. It’s not on her CD, and was only released on HearItFirst and a compliation disc. It’s a lot rockier then her other stuff too, which makes it interesting. But I digress…
Anyway, to access all of the music, you’ll need to have a HearItFirst account and be signed in. I’d highly recommend opting in to the mailing list, as they send you free songs every week. Very cool.
FreeFuge.com, New Music Video from Family Force 5
Free music from FreeFuge.com today. They have a page on their website specially for free music, and to be blunt, it’s awesome. It looks like the selection is a mix of songs from FreeGotee.com and FreeMvS.com, with a little Sparrow Records thrown in. Of course, that’s not saying much unless you know which bands are on which labels. So, I’ll explain the selection.
It feature’s Ayiesha Woods’ “Happy”, Bethany Dillon’s “Top of the World”, Britt Nicole’s current single “Set The World On Fire”, Family Force 5′s “Supersonic”, John Reuben’s catchy “Good Evening”, Relient K’s “More Than Useless”, Sanctus Real’s number one hit “Don’t Give Up”, the southern rock “Temptation Come My Way” from The Showdown. Also featured is This Beautiful Republic’s new single “Casting Off”, Vicky Beeching, and Tim Hughes. (Oh, and they also have Chasing Victory listed, but the download doesn’t work.)
As you can see, that’s quite a selection. All of the songs are free and legal downloads. So enjoy!
Hip-Hop Overdose
Hip-hop fans rejoice! I have hundreds of free Christian rap songs. Seriously, what I’m about to tell you about is the biggest amount of gospel hip-hop I’ve ever seen in one spot before.
The website is SphereOfHipHop.com. They have a unbelievable amount of free music. It’s crazy. It’s awesome. From Applejaxx to YSG-Timothy, they have it all. Due to the amount of music available, I won’t try to name all the artists. They do have awesome tracks from John Reuben, KJ-52, GRITS, the Cross Movement, Verbs, Playdough, and LA Symphony. Really, you need to see it for yourself. I recommend just picking something that looks interesting and downloading away.
Even if you aren’t big on rap, you still may like some of the songs on the list. For example, “Are You Real?” by KJ-52 featuring Kutless is an anthematic rock song which was featured on the X series. Also, John Reuben and Matt Thiessen of Relient K did an awesome, ridiculously catchy song called “Nuisance”. And then there’s LA Symphony’s “Timeless”… I highly recommend all three to everyone.
Another awesome part of the list is the exclusive songs. Even if you own every Christian hip-hop CD ever, you can probably find some new music. Lots of remixes, and instrumentals. Even a few Christmas songs! It’s just awesome.
Free Gotee Music – Relient K, Family Force 5, Our Hearts Hero, John Reuben, Ayiesha Woods +
Gotee Records is one of my other favorite record label. They have created a website devoted to giving away free music from their biggest artists. The idea is that if they give away music from one group, then the person who downloads that song will download the other 2 or 3 (or 4 or 5) and get new fans.
Anyway, they have good songs from Ayiesha Woods, Family Force 5, John Reuben, Our Hearts Hero, Relient K, and Storyside B. So far there is only one song an artist, but they could add new songs when ever they want.
