“The Psalmist says ‘As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God’ (Psalm 42:1). We are constantly reminded throughout the Bible of our desperate need for the Lord. As much as we may try to rescue ourselves, fill ourselves, the truth is, we need God. Our souls are desperate for His living water to revive us, to renew us. 

The title track of my album, “Desesperado” is a fun, latin, pop song centered around a journey of understanding my personal need for the Lord. I tend to go in a cycle of calling out for the Lord to save me/ help me, feeling safe or successful, and falling back on my face. I always regret the moments when I feel self-sufficient. My desire is to humbly acknowledge my need for God 24/7. 

“Desesperado” and the rest of the album are a collection of songs that reminded me throughout 2020, during the recording process, that God is in control, He is sovereign, and He is mighty to save. I say that confidently now, but in the midst of the trials it is very difficult to recognize the truth that God will lead me to the other side of each challenge. It’s a step of faith and maturity to say, “I can’t do this on my own,” not a sign of weakness. Desperation is not a bad thing, it isn’t a reflection on my character, but on the power and sovereignty of God. 

What are some areas of your life where you can recognize your desperate need for the Lord? Sometimes we are banging our heads against a wall, trying to break through with our own strength, and we need a mighty hand to move. Are you desperate for finances, applause, or recognition? We all thirst for something to satiate our souls, but there is only one fount with living water. Make sure you are desperately seeking Him. - Evan Craft

"We are so grateful that we had the opportunity to capture what took place on that night at MSG. I don’t say this lightly, it was a night we will never forget and a night we are so excited to now get to share with the world.

"The Cup Was Not Removed is celebrating what Jesus has done for us. He drank the cup of God’s wrath we deserved on the cross. He fulfilled all of the law and prophets, living a blameless life, giving us his righteousness. And because of these things, now by faith, he has removed our transgressions as far as the east is from the west. The cup was not removed. The Law was not removed. But, our sins are removed. The only response to this good news is to praise him!"

DUPREE is a Christian contemporary mother-son duo comprised of Lauren & Dylan Dupree. Their uplifting, feel-good music has elements of heavy pop, rock, harmonies and Dylan's impressive & soulful guitar riffs. Their latest album Never Forget is now available! Here are their song backstories:

Praise Be
“This song is a reminder that Jesus will always take you out of the darkness and that you are a child of God. He is a remedy for the heartsick and the answer to all your pain. Jesus saves!”

Lean In
“This song is about leaning in to God and coming closer to Him when the world is getting you down. When people are not treating you well, draw closer to God and He will come to you and be your strength. Only He can give you peace and the ability to realize your dreams when no one else believes in you. God can open doors that no man can shut.”

Walking It (World Go By)
“We all have the responsibility of evangelizing. As Matthew 15:16 says: “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” We are called to help one another…the poor, the needy, the bullied, the lonely. Are we going to sit and watch the world go by or are we going to use our time wisely? This is what we are called to do. As we do these things for others and share God’s love, we do them for Jesus.”

Chapel Song (Old Dirt Road)
Chapel Song is about a little church off a dirt road at Cades Cove in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee. We would visit this church on the tour and dream about what it was like for people to gather, sing praise, and share fellowship in more simple times. This song is meant to inspire people today to share these wonderful moments with each other with no judgement, but a DUPREE Never Forget Album Song Stories community of fellowship and belonging for everyone to experience the joy of Jesus!

Stronger Together
We are called to love one another as God loves us. We are stronger and better together. When one of us is hurting and being torn down by others emotionally or spiritually, this is not what God asks of us. Let’s help our brothers and sisters that feel they do not belong. We are all perfectly and wonderfully made in the image of God! Let them know they are valuable!
