UK singer and songwriter Bisola released “Holy Fire” on October 6, her first full-length Christian album and a project quite literally written from a hospital road back to health. The 12-track album spans worship and contemporary Christian music, R&B, gospel and acoustic sounds, and almost half of its songs were written while Bisola was recovering from multiple surgeries following a health scare in 2025.

All of the album’s songs were written and performed by Bisola, with production from Jeriah Nadesan. Alongside the title track “Holy Fire,” the tracklist includes “In His Hands,” “Living Water,” “Glorious King” and “All in With You,” songs whose titles trace the album’s arc from vulnerability to surrender and praise. What could have been a season of silence instead became the most productive writing period of her life.

“Holy Fire” also carries a piece of Bisola’s history with it. The bonus track “We Ain’t Gonna Lose” previously reached the Top 5 of the aStepFWD UK Christian chart in 2020, an early sign of the songwriting strength now given a full album’s room to breathe. AStepFWD marked the album’s arrival on October 7, introducing it to the UK Christian and gospel audience Bisola has been building toward this moment.

Debut albums usually introduce an artist. “Holy Fire” does something rarer: it testifies. Bisola has turned the hardest year of her life into twelve songs of worship, and the fire in the title is the sound of faith that has been through the furnace and come out singing.

Dan Bremnes Completes His Trilogy With New Album “The Hero & The Villain”

Dan Bremnes opened 2026 by closing a chapter, releasing his new album “The Hero & The Villain” on January 16 through Curb Records. The 15-track record completes the British Columbia artist’s ambitious autobiographical trilogy, a three-album arc that has traced his story of faith with unusual honesty.

True to the way Bremnes has always worked, the album was recorded around the globe, from Costa Rica to Sweden, gathering its sound from the road he has travelled as one of Canadian Christian music’s most travelled artists. The opening track, “Started With You,” sets the tone for a record that wrestles openly with faith, anxiety, identity and vulnerability, the inner conflict promised by its title: the hero and the villain who share the same heart.

Bremnes, who hails from the Salmon Arm and Kamloops region of British Columbia, first broke through with “Where The Light Is,” which won the Juno Award for Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year in 2016. In the decade since, he has built a reputation for pairing polished pop songwriting with lyrics that refuse to tidy up the hard parts of believing.

That tension is the engine of “The Hero & The Villain.” Rather than resolving the struggle into a slogan, the album sits inside it, tracing how grace meets a person who can be faithful and faltering in the same day. As the final instalment of his trilogy, it brings Bremnes’ most personal songwriting project to its conclusion, and underlines his standing as one of the defining Canadian voices in contemporary Christian music.
