Today's Christian Entertainment Names Kim Gentry Meyer's Debut Project, 'Herald,' as One of Top Albums of 2023
Popular media outlet Today's Christian Entertainment has named new artist Kim Gentry Meyer's debut project, Herald, as one of the Top 12 albums of 2023.
In addition to Meyer, other artists on the list include Katy Nichole, Phil Wickham, Jason Gray, Christy Nockels, Cory Asbury, Riley Clemmons, and more.
In their recent review of Herald, Today’s Christian Entertainment says: "As messengers of God’s truth, it is our imperative to use whatever abilities He has bestowed upon us for His glory and the good of others. Kim Gentry Meyer does so with remarkable talent. With straightforward, delicate illustrations, much as an artist uses the strokes of a paintbrush to hint at the beauty of a flower, Herald skillfully and insightfully reminds us of God’s love and promises."
Meyer, an award-winning songwriter and poet who won the title of Mrs. Massachusetts 2020 from the prestigious Mrs. America organization, was humbled to receive such recognition so early in her recording career.
"I'm so honored that Herald has been included with such established and esteemed artists on Today's Christian Entertainment's Top 12 Albums of 2023 list." says Meyer. "My mission is to be the Lord's "herald," to shine a light on the Lord's restoration and hope, and to be an encouragement to all who hear my album. I'm so glad listeners are feeling connected to that message. I'm looking forward to what 2024 brings, and to God be the Glory!"
Herald, recently released on NWN Records, is distributed though Integrated Music Rights, part of the Integrity Music family.
Recently, Meyer released her beautiful debut video of the song “Mind of Christ” from Herald. The powerful song honestly addresses mental health and depression, and seeks to overcome the darkness by finding wholeness in faith.
"I think the message is one of the most important on the album,” says Meyer,“We all deal with mental struggles and feelings of sadness, depression, darkness, or just feeling a little down. There isn’t one person on earth that hasn’t struggled with this, especially with the pandemic."
“I can relate to this song personally and want others to know they are not alone, and that Jesus can restore their peace of mind," she continues. "The Christian community tends to shy away from talking about this topic, so I want to shine a light on it. The enemy does not want us to be mentally whole. The greatest battle is the battle for our minds!"
Meyer has been featured by multiple media outlets since this album's release, including The Christian Post's online lifestyle magazine, Crossmap.com, the award-winning talk show, Babbie's House, and many more.
