Artist Bios
The New Respects
Featured in Rolling Stone as one of “10 New Artists You Need to Know,” newly signed Credential Recordings artist The New Respects are quickly turning heads and gaining unprecedented traction. Falling into a genre of their own, The New Respects mesh rock and roll, soul, and pop music with overlays of acoustic tones. Comprised of twins Zandy and Lexi Fitzgerald, brother Darius, and their cousin Jasmine Mullen, the Nashville-based group is a true family affair, evidencing the undeniable soul and musical legacy that flows through the roots of their family tree.
The band kicked off 2017 with the release of their debut EP Here Comes Trouble, a 5-song offering of catchy hooks and heavy grooves. Standout single “Trouble” garnered over 2M streams and received sync placements with Fox Sports, ESPN, and TNT. With the EP quickly gaining traction, the band found themselves filling the rest of 2017 with an aggressive touring schedule—opening for Robert Randolph, O.A.R., and NEEDTOBREATHE, and making appearances at key festivals such as Hangout, Bumbershoot, and Rock the Ranch.
The quartet’s latest single, “Something To Believe In,” continues the soaring, uplifting, vocal harmonies and driving soul/rock sound that defined its debut EP. “‘Something to Believe In’ is about the longing to believe in goodness when it looks like there is no reason to,” remarks lead vocalist Jasmine Mullen. “We wanted to leave room in the song for the listener to the plug in their own story. All of our darkness looks different, but there is love and hope for every single one of us.”
Jillian Edwards
For more than a decade, Edwards has consistently written and recorded music through the lens of faith, even when she’s crafting songs about love and relationships or writing songs specifically for film and television.
When Edwards picked up a guitar for the first time as a teenager, she felt like writing songs was made for her. It was during college, at Baylor University, that she began capturing the attention of a broader audience with her thoughtful lyrics and charming voice.
The faith-filled selections on her newest album Meadow are a natural extension of the Dallas-native’s body of work, which has always carried an undercurrent of hope.
