National Debut, We Shine, To Release On September 25 With Music Industry Leaders Endorsing
“I’ve been using Steve’s worship music with my students for years. I love how his songs create an atmosphere of freedom where people can connect with God through worship. And this record is the best yet!”
– Mark Hall, Casting Crowns
“Steve Fee has a unique voice in the world of worship, effectively leading a new generation to live in a Story so much bigger than their own. Birthing anthems for the church and songs for the culture, Steve continues to merge lyrics anchored in truth with a musicality that is current and fresh. We’ve shared so much of the journey together over the last decade and I’m excited to see how God will use Fee’s debut release ‘We Shine’ for His fame throughout the earth.
‘We Shine’ is one of the best worship projects of the year.”
— Louie Giglio, Visionary Architect/Director/Passion Conferences
Releasing two independent projects and traveling with the Passion Conferences as a Worship Leader isn’t ‘normal’ behavior for an unsigned artist, but that’s exactly how Steve Fee and band has made a name for themselves since 2001. Now, Steve Fee, Matt Adkins, Heath Balltzglier, and Brandon Coker (known as Fee) have a deal at INO Records to release We Shine September 25.
Band leader Steve Fee says, “I feel like this is so much about timing, God’s timing. I have talked to a whole lot of people over the years, yet I was content doing my own thing. But we believe there is a message here that is so good and timely that we want everybody who can hear it to hear it. I have realized that INO is a team of passionate people who have the ability to get this record to people, at the right time and in the right way.”
With We Shine, Fee delivers a 12-track set of powerful worship songs that echo victory in Christ in every lyric. The band melds celebratory and significant lyrics to its energetic, relevant rock. The tone of We Shine is set through the spirited album opener “All Because of Jesus” and first radio single “Glorious One”. The title cut is a raucous jumper and a shouting experience, while “Grace Will Be My Song” and “Beautiful the Blood” escalate with powerful confessions to a Savior who calls his people to freedom in him.
“Fee has done an amazing job of building and participating in the ‘worship community,’ says Jeff Moseley, president of INO Records. “As an independent artist he has accomplished some things that any major label artist would dream of. We are happy to partner with him at this place and see how far we can take this music. We believe there are no boundaries and that the songs and artistry will make a way.”
