Here are three newly albums worth hearing this week:
“Graves into Gardens,” Elevation Worship
The Grammy-nominated, platinum-certified music group, which is part of the North Carolina-based Elevation Church, is back with a live album comprised of 12 new tracks. It kicks off in joyous fashion with the band’s latest hit single — “Rattle!” — and also features the recent blockbuster “The Blessing.”
The bands sounds terrific on this collection, further cementing its status as one of today’s top worship music acts, as it continues to elevate its game on one anthem after another. Elevation Worship receives some mighty assists on the album as well, with appearances from Bethel Music’s Brandon Lake on the title track, Tauren Wells on “Never Lost” and both Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes on “The Blessing.”
“Late Teens/Early Twenties,” Josie Dunne (out May 8)
Looking for a fresh and fun new voice on the pop music scene? Then lend an ear to Josie Dunne, who has toured with such artists as Julia Michaels, Ben Rector and Andy Grammer. She wonderfully showcases her ability to create stylish, vibrant pop tunes on this new EP, highlighted by the incredibly catchy track “Ooh La La.”
“Songs for Singin'” the Okee Dokee Brothers
This two-disc offering definitely makes good on the promise of its title, delivering 27 songs that are just ripe for singin’ along to while tapping a toe or two. The collection feels wonderfully out of time, owning inspiration to folk legends Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger as it harkens back to the days when families would join together on the front porch to sing a song or two after dinner.

Ever wonder what song the great @BobSeger was humming from 1962 in "Night Moves"? (And what is wrong with that famous lyric?) https://t.co/4NgMFARFln
