SMN Radio Gospel is proud to recognize Mulamaxs as its Gospel Artist of the Moment. His inspiring gospel record, “Covered in the Blood,” comes from the album Appreciation (A Gospel Project).

Rooted in faith and carried by a message of redemption, “Covered in the Blood” speaks to the assurance believers can hold onto through every chapter of life. It is a heartfelt reminder that circumstances may change and seasons may shift, but the grace of God remains constant.

Mulamaxs describes the record as carrying “a message of faith, redemption, and the unchanging love of God.” He shares that “Covered in the Blood” serves as a reminder that through every season, we are covered by God’s grace and held by His promises.

That message is felt throughout Appreciation (A Gospel Project). The album offers more than music – it creates space for reflection, encouragement, and renewed gratitude for God’s presence. It is a deeply uplifting project that reaches the heart and leaves the listener with something meaningful to carry forward.

For SMN Radio Gospel, featuring an artist is about more than introducing a song. It is about recognizing music that ministers, strengthens faith, and meets listeners wherever they may be in their journey. “Covered in the Blood” embodies that purpose beautifully.

Appreciation (A Gospel Project) is a fabulous album that truly blessed my soul, and it is an honor to share Mulamaxs and his music with the SMN Radio Gospel audience.

Listen for “Covered in the Blood” by Mulamaxs throughout the month on SMN Radio Gospel – where faith, inspiration, and powerful gospel music come together.

SMN Radio proudly spotlights SV & Alyssa Jane as our Artist of the Moment, featuring their captivating new single, “Nerves.”

” SV & Alyssa Jane craft a sound rooted in emotion, where each track is built from
feeling and shaped into something entirely new. With Neo Blastic, the duo
expands on their signature blend of hip-hop, R&B, and soul, introducing a deeper
sense of impact, texture, and sonic identity. Inspired by the concept of
“neoblast”—cells that regenerate into new forms—the album reflects a process of
constant reinvention, where no two songs are the same, yet all exist within a
cohesive emotional world.

At the center of that world is Alyssa Jane’s dynamic vocal presence—effortlessly
moving between soulful melodies and sharp, expressive delivery, bringing
vulnerability and strength to each track. Her ability to shift between singing and
rap-inflected phrasing adds dimension and unpredictability that evolves with
every song. From gritty, bass-driven moments to warm, melodic storytelling, SV’s
production and Alyssa Jane’s vocal versatility come together to create music
that is immediate and evolving, designed to be felt as much as heard.

“Nerves” is a smoky, upbeat neo-soul/R&B track from SV & Alyssa Jane,
blending hypnotic grooves, warm textures, and emotional atmosphere. Alyssa
Jane’s soulful delivery flows effortlessly over SV’s groove-focused production,
creating a timeless yet modern feel inspired by classic neo-soul and alternative
R&B, serving as the final single before the duo’s upcoming album, Neo Blastic.”
