Today (8.1), Capitol CMG artist Jamie MacDonald releases “Left It In The River,” a powerful new single that captures a spirit of release, redemption, and renewal. Driven by a steady four-on-the-floor beat and an anthemic chorus that declares “Where is my guilt, where is my shame? I left it in the river,” the song delivers a message of freedom that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.

“Left It In The River” arrives on the heels of MacDonald’s breakout success “Desperate,” which held the No. 1 position on the Billboard Christian AC and Mediabase Christian AC charts for seven consecutive weeks. The song, written during a season of grief following the loss of her father, connected with listeners navigating pain, faith, and healing. A reimagined version of “Desperate” featuring GRAMMY Award winner Lauren Daigle is also available now and continues to expand the song’s reach.
This week, Jamie MacDonald earned her first-ever Dove Awards nomination for Pop / Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year with “Desperate.” Earlier this year, she also received three K-LOVE Fan Award nominations, including Song of the Year. Her bold, transparent approach to songwriting continues to attract a growing audience and solidify her place as one of Christian music’s most compelling new voices.
With “Left It In The River,” Jamie MacDonald continues her focus on honest, faith-centered songwriting and marks the next step in her growing discography. Watch the video here.
MacDonald is currently on tour performing at festivals across the US and is hitting the road this fall with Benjamin William Hastings. For tickets and more information, visit www.jamiemacdonaldmusic.com/tour.
