NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nashville Christian Songwriters' NCS Records announces the signing of singer/songwriter Anne Elise to an exclusive recording agreement. A Belmont University student and former member of the acclaimed collective Ezra Worship, Anne Elise's debut NCS Records single, "Changing," is now available.

"We're delighted to help young artists like Anne Elise discover and develop their sound and find their voice," shares Nashville Christian Songwriters Founder and President John Chisum. "We're especially proud of her new single and the songs to come.

"From learning the foundations of songwriting from John Chisum during her time with the Ezra Worship Initiative, to bringing her own songs to life with NCS Records, Anne Elise truly embodies what Nashville Christian Songwriters is all about," adds NCS Records Director of Label Operations and A&R Claire Bacon. "She has an incredible natural musical instinct and is truly an artist with both the talent and work ethic to continue growing her craft into something remarkable.

"Changing" finds Alabama native Anne Elise embracing a fresh, organic sound driven by pop and country influences. Penned by Anne Elise, Andre Williams, Kevin Embleton, and Michaela Halfast, the single was produced by Ryan Wilson (Zach John King), one of Country Credits'"2026 Top 10 Producers to Watch," and features acoustic guitar and banjo from longtime Rascal Flatts bandmember Devin Malone.

As the track's breezy shuffle captures the tension between the familiar and the unknown, Anne Elise wistfully ruminates on the time-tested truth that real growth happens by taking a leap of faith and trusting God for the outcome. "After moving to Nashville, I found myself thinking a lot about transition and all of the changes that come with the next season of life," she explains.

Changing' was written as a reminder that change is inevitable and we can choose to grow alongside it. It's also a reminder for me to let go of my worries and trust that God is in control, even when I don't know what's in front of me.

"I'm so excited to see this next chapter unfold with NCS Records," Anne Elise continues. "I'm grateful to work with such an amazing team of people who are eager to help bring my music to those who need to hear it and can be encouraged by it."
