LOS ANGELES (Jan. 12,2024) — Bethel Music’s Gold certified singer/songwriter and worship leader Josh Baldwin drops his lead single, and title track, “Made For More” from his forthcoming solo album. Available today along with an accompanying music video, the song serves as the premiere release in anticipation of Baldwin’s full-length live album that will drop worldwide on March 1. Listen to “Made For More” here, watch the video here, and pre-save the album here.

A song that calls listeners back to the identity and purpose placed on their life as a child of God, “Made For More” is a powerful anthem and reminder that the Creator of the universe calls each of us by name (Isaiah 43:1), bringing us from death into life.

"Over the past year, and even more recently, I’ve been writing a lot of new songs,” says Baldwin. “As we all do, my family and I have experienced peaks and valleys and we’ve watched the Lord be faithful time and time again. In the valleys, He’s our help, Prince of Peace, Savior, and Friend. In the highest moments, I was reminded how we are created in the image of God, and we were made for so much more than we imagine for ourselves. He really shows up for us in every season - because he’s a faithful Father.”

Baldwin’s upcoming album, “Made For More,” is his second solo project and follow up to his 2022 release, “Where The Glory Is.” Written to inspire, encourage, and point hearts back to their Creator, the eight-track live album consists of songs that Baldwin wrote from his heart for the local church and corporate worship. Throughout each track, Baldwin leads listeners back to the true intention and purpose of worship music drawing inspiration from Isaiah 43:1, which says, “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.”

Baldwin is known for his songs “Praises,” featured on Bethel Music’s “Have it All,” “You Deserve It All,” from his solo project “Rivers,” and “Stand in Your Love,” a song featured on Bethel Music’s album “VICTORY” (2019) which reached #2 on the Christian Billboard charts. His gold certified single “Stand in Your Love” reached No. 2 on the Billboard Christian charts and garnered Baldwin his first K-LOVE nominations as “Breakout Single of the Year” and “Worship Song of the Year.”
