Jordan St. Cyr Delivers Two New Singles, “The Storyteller Man” and “Wild Love”
Manitoba singer-songwriter Jordan St. Cyr gave listeners a double portion on May 1, releasing two new singles through BEC Recordings: “The Storyteller Man” and “Wild Love.” Both tracks were produced by Paul Mabury, and together they frame the two sides of St. Cyr’s songwriting, the storyteller and the worshipper, in a single release day.
“The Storyteller Man,” written by St. Cyr with Paul Duncan and Paul Mabury, points to the greatest story ever told and the one who told it best. “There ain’t no better storyteller man than Jesus,” St. Cyr says of the song’s heart, a line that sums up his approach to writing: plainspoken, narrative and anchored in the character of Christ. Its companion, “Wild Love,” written with AJ Pruis and Jonathan Gamble, chases the other direction, celebrating a grace that pursues people wherever they run. As St. Cyr puts it, “No one can outrun the love of God.”
The double release kept a busy 2026 rolling for the Juno Award-winning artist. St. Cyr, who won the Juno for Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year in 2023, followed the May singles with “Pray For You” on July 24, with further songs “Every Reason To Believe” and “Hands To The Sky” also arriving through the year.
From his Manitoba base, St. Cyr has become one of Canadian Christian music’s most consistent voices, writing songs that work as well in a small-town church as on national radio. “The Storyteller Man” and “Wild Love” continue that run, two more chapters from a songwriter who knows exactly whose story he is telling.

Vancouver worship outfit The Slower I Go released their single “Holy Sanctuary” on March 20 through NRT Music, a song built less like a performance and more like a prayer meeting caught on record. Credited to The Slower I Go alongside Noah Priebe and Brooklyn Summer, the single was written by Logan Murph, Brooklyn Summer and Noah Priebe.
The song’s heartbeat is a simple, repeated cry: “Come through, come through, come through.” Rather than building toward a single big moment, “Holy Sanctuary” circles that refrain the way a congregation circles a prayer, letting repetition do the work of surrender. It is worship written for the room as much as for the listener, an invitation to slow down, as the band’s name suggests, and make space for God to move.
The Slower I Go is a four-piece made up of Noah Priebe, Brooklyn Summer, Dacey Lane and Logan York, and “Holy Sanctuary” has not been their only word in 2026. The year has also brought the singles “All Eyes On You” and “Rejoice,” and the group followed “Holy Sanctuary” with “SHOCK!,” a collaboration with Zane Walls that landed in NewReleaseToday’s new releases for the week of June 5, showing a band comfortable moving between intimate worship and bolder, pop-leaning territory.
Canada’s worship scene has always been at its strongest when its songs are born in local rooms, and The Slower I Go sound like exactly that: a Vancouver band writing from the middle of a praying community. “Holy Sanctuary” is their open door, and the invitation could not be simpler. Come through.
