Anne Wilson is releasing My Jesus (Anniversary Deluxe), featuring 26 songs that reimagine and honor her album My Jesus in a new light, on the one-year anniversary of the album’s release.
The newly-packaged record features an all-new live version of “My Jesus (Live From Kentucky)” with a never-before-seen video from her hometown show at Rupp Arena in Lexington. My Jesus (Anniversary Deluxe) also features a brand-new track titled “Still God,” penned by Wilson, Matthew West and AJ Prius, underscoring the importance of maintaining a focus on God through life’s trials and tribulations.
Additionally highlighted in the new collection are live versions of her biggest hits from shows in Nashville and the Rock The South Festival as well as the feature track “Living Water” from the Lionsgate film Jesus Revolution.
Called to her music in the wake of tragedy, Wilson first discovered her voice while singing at her brother’s funeral in 2017, which led to her debut smash “My Jesus.” The ballad helped her make history as the first female soloist to top Billboard‘s Christian Airplay chart with a debut single since the chart’s launch in 2003. It went on to be named ASCAP’s 2022 Christian Music Awards Song of the Year. Her Grammy-nominated 15-song debut album, My Jesus, was released on April 22, 2022.
“The past year of my life has been more life-giving than anything I could’ve ever dreamed of,” shares Wilson. “This record has been such a gift to my life and God has used my music in the most incredible way. So to celebrate its first anniversary, My Jesus (Anniversary Deluxe) is out now! This is for you, Jacob!”
Since breaking onto the scene two years ago, Wilson’s list of accolades includes two wins at the 53rd annual GMA Dove Awards for New Artist of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year and two wins at the K-LOVE Fan Awards for Female Artist of the Year and Breakout Single. She also received her first Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album, a nomination for Favorite Inspirational Artist at the 2022 American Music Awards, and a nod from the Billboard Music Awards for Top Christian Song.
Earning a spot on Pandora’s 2023 Artist to Watch: Christian/Gospel list and RIAA’s Class of 2022, Wilson also wrote and published her first book My Jesus: From Heartache To Hope, which made the Evangelical Christian Publishing Association’s Bestseller List. She recently completed 39 dates on the 2023 “Winter Jam Tour,” and is set to appear at CMA Fest on June 11.
