Sixteen Cities
The Weekly Downloads: Apr. 20 ~ Apr. 26
After missing several weeks of the Weekly Downloads, and posting in general (long story short, I’ve been unbelievably busy), I’ve got a lot of catching up to do – hope you’re ready for a lot of music!
First up this week, iTickets. This week, they’ve got free downloads from Kari Jobe and Ted Rastatter ,with “Everyone Needs A Little” and “Arrows”, respectively.
Next, Tangle.com has a free download new Centricity Records artist Sixteen Cities’ song “Come As You Are”. They remind me a bit of Tenth Avenue North, which is definitely a good thing.
New Release Tuesday has two free songs this week, worship band Deluge’s “Unshakable” and urban/hip-hop group 21:03′s brand new song “Favor”. Neither are quite my style, but you’re more then welcome to check them out.
Next up, GMC. Thankfully, they archive their weekly downloads, so the free songs from the last three weeks are all still available. The tracks are Israel Houghton’s “Every Prayer”, Karen Peck & New River’s “Why Can’t All God’s Children Get Along”, and Kari Jobe’s rendition of “Revelation Song”. I’m not going to spoil the results, but it’s worth mentioning that all three songs were nominated for Dove Awards this year. Check it out!

Another website that keeps their free downloads available is FreeCCM, and they’ve got an very impressive 6 free downloads available at the moment. Here’s the list:
- The Afters – “Tonight”
- Bart Milliard – “Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour”
- Tim Timmons – “A Thousand Amens (Doxology)”
- Darlene Zschech – “Pray”
- Decyfer Down – “Burn Back The Sun”
- Caedmon’s Call – “Hold The Light”
Out of that list, I can personally recommend The Afters, Decyfer Down, and Darlene Zschech’s songs, all three are great. Enjoy!
There’s actually one more download worth mentioning this week – iTunes is featuring the latest single from a new country group, The Band Perry, for free. Personally, I don’t know much about them, but according to insideREVOLUTION, the group’s lead singer, Kimberly Perry, used to be signed to EMICMG and opened for Jump5 & ZOEgirl.
I don’t know any details beyond that, but I’m impressed with their song (which is called “If I Die Young”). If you enjoy country music you might just want to check this three-sibling group out. I’m glad I did.

Here’s the details, via a note posted to the band’s Facebook page:
“So here’s the low down.
We are putting together footage of our fans singing along with “Sing Along” in different places around the world.
Why?
In response to “Sing Along” being in Hollister stores, fans all over the world have been listening to our music. So we thought it would be cool to include you all in a video.
In return for helping us out, we want to give you a FREE copy of our “Come As You Are” EP.Here’s what you need to do:
1) Grab any digital camera or video camera.
2) Call some friends and find a creative place to make a video.
3) Record yourself or your friends singing along with the song, and send
your footage to:
sixteencities@gmail.comEasy breezy, right?
Remember – the more creative the location, the better. In a car wash, at Starbucks, on a horse, on a plane…wherever.
We hope you all take advantage of this opportunity to be in one of our music videos, and are really excited to see what you come up with!Thanks for being the most amazing fans in the world.
-Sixteen Cities”
I haven’t had a chance to sent anything in yet, but I’d say the opportunity to star (or at least appear) coupled with some free music is definitely a win/win in my book. Check it out!
