Boasting a lineup of genre-spanning special guests, Sacred Surrender is set to bow March 22 from Dove Award-nominated singer/songwriter Jaime Jamgochian. Featuring collaborations with some of the artist’s longtime friends and peers, including beloved trio Selah; singer/songwriter Ginny Owens; Christian radio favorite Citizen Way; Southern Gospel standout Joseph Habedank, and The Belonging Co worship leader and singer/songwriter Andrew Holt, Sacred Surrender marks Jamgochian’s first release in nearly four years.
With 10 tracks all co-penned by Jamgochian, the album features songwriting contributions from Kenna Turner West, Citizen Way’s Ben Calhoun, Rebekah White, Jay Speight and Selah’s Todd Smith, among others. Sacred Surrender was produced by Andrew Bergthold (We the Kingdom), John Strandell, Tommy Iceland (Poets & Prophets), Chris Bevins, and Mckendree Tucker.
Hallmarked by Jamgochian’s effervescent vocals and memorable melodies, Sacred Surrender opens with “Gonna Be Good,” a joyful pop track encapsulating the project’s theme. The album is also highlighted by multiple standout collaborations: “Coming Back Again (Holy, Holy, Holy)” with Citizen Way; “Our Father,” an impassioned anthem featuring Selah and inspired by The Lord’s Prayer; the buoyant “If God Wrote A Song” with Joseph Habedank; the Andrew Holt-featured “Visions,” a prophetic ballad that was among the first songs Jamgochian led in worship after becoming a Christian; and the compelling “By Heart,” an affirmation of God’s faithfulness showcasing Ginny Owens.
“The older I get, I don’t want complicated; I want simple faith, simple trust in God, and simple songs that people can easily sing over and over again,” Jamgochian explains. “I want to write faith declarations that move people closer to God and move them out of fear into faith, out of anxiety into peace, and out of emptiness into abundance.”
