Live version of Grammy-nominated song ‘Praise’ available now with preorder
Press Release
BEC recording artist, author and chart-topper Tasha Layton announces her first-ever live worship album, “Worship Through It Live.” The nine-track project, recorded at Hope UC in Thompson’s Station, Tennessee, will release March 7. Fans who preorder here will instantly receive the Grammy-nominated song “Praise,” which is also now available across all digital platforms.
“Most people know me as a CCM artist, or they know some of my songs because they’re on the radio, but I’ve been a worship leader just about my whole life,” Layton shared. “When I started releasing music, I was just singing what was on my heart. Some of what came out wasn’t necessarily congregational-type songs, but I believed I was to release them. A worship project feels natural to me and falls in line with who I’ve always been, so it’s special to me that I’m getting to release it.”
“Worship Through It Live” was captured during an honest night of raw worship with friends that took place just 10 days after Layton and her team had the initial idea to produce a live recording. The collection showcases a mix of original selections, including a new powerful live version of Layton’s most recent No. 1 hit, “Worship Through It (feat. Chris Brown),” and opening anthem “God of Deliverance”; as well as a host of familiar favorites like Elevation Worship’s “Praise,” Phil Wickham’s “Living Hope” and Red Rocks Worship’s “Good Plans,” the latter of which proved to be a standout moment during the recording.
This spring, Layton is poised to take music from her inaugural live album directly to fans on the “Trust Again Tour” with bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst. Kicking off Feb. 25 in Flowood, Mississippi, together, Layton and TerKeurst will bring a special evening of worship and Bible teaching to nine cities across the U.S. The outing with TerKeurst will commence a year of significant touring for Layton. 2025 will also find the songstress growing her faith-based initiative, Boundless, a nonprofit dedicated to educating and equipping the church with resources to aid in mental health. Additionally, fans won’t have to wait long for even more new music from the acclaimed vocalist, as Layton is slated to deliver her next studio project later this year.
