[00:03:46] Speaker A: I am on the phone with Major.
Major is gonna be in town up on Saturday for the live recording with Deidre Haddon. But here's another thing. If you don't know Major, you have some new music.
[00:04:00] Speaker B: I do. I do. You want me. You want me to talk about it?
[00:04:03] Speaker A: I want to talk about it. First of all, the EP is called Hope of my Soul.
[00:04:08] Speaker B: Yes. The hope of my soul. It's really special. It's a collection of music and message that really speaks to the whole of who I am. I'm a church boy who God is using in mainstream music to really be and represent light and love. I'm the hope dealer, and the hope of my soul is the full expression of that. I'm super proud of this project. Thank you for even acknowledging that you didn't have to do all that.
[00:04:37] Speaker A: Well, listen, because I got a hold of the song I prayed for, you said a prayer, and, man, this song is so awesome.
Where did it come from, my brother? Give me some details.
[00:04:53] Speaker B: Listen. So firstly, thank you. I prayed for you is my new hope anthem, Beautiful people. It's a love letter that I wrote to the ones I love in the heart of this world that we gonna be all right.
[00:05:08] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:05:09] Speaker B: Though we may feel lonely at times, though it may feel difficult and unbearable, we're not alone and we're never forgotten.
Prayer is a direct access to the heart and hand of the Father. And I'm super excited to sing a song that is speaking to the intersection of faith and culture to remind those in these times that we're in. Because it's crazy. It's some crazy times right now that's really trying to shake our faith and to deplete our hope. But I want us to be reminded that you lock into prayer. You Lock into the access of every resource.
[00:05:51] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:05:52] Speaker B: You can think you need.
[00:05:53] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:05:54] Speaker B: And it will be abundantly yours. The song was written initially during the pandemic and you know, I wanted to encourage the hearts of the people. I didn't release it until I released the EP the Hope of my Soul earlier this year. The deluxe version is out, but it's, it's really special and it's wild that in this season that we had already planned to be the release date of this new single.
How timely it is.
It's wild, Miss Randy. It's wild.
[00:06:31] Speaker A: It's for sure. I mean, you know, it's so on point and so necessary in these days when people are feeling like they're left alone, you know, and they're on social media doom scrolling and you know, feeling, you know, and then you come out with this beautiful visual with this video and then your social media where you're giving hope and your podcast, all these things. And then you come out with I prayed for you. Oh, come on.
It's such perfect timing. And if you, you know, my face at this point, I might be on the floor, I might not. But.
[00:07:11] Speaker B: Listen, listen. I am excited that the people are embracing it. Yes. That music video is something special. It has made its world debut this past weekend on YouTube and Vevo. So make sure you get over to YouTube.com nowthatsmajor and you will find the new music video produced by Purple Rope Productions Entertainment. I'm super grateful. It's special. Did you see when I start out in that black suit, right?
[00:07:44] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:07:44] Speaker B: And you know, and I'm looking sharp, right?
[00:07:46] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:07:46] Speaker B: And then that boy turns into the all white and has the nerve to go into the water.
