In a year already filled with powerful new worship songs and rising talent, Tauren Wells stands out as one of Christian music's most influential voices in 2026. Known for his energetic performances, transparent lyrics, and unmistakable vocals, Wells continues to bridge contemporary worship and pop with a message rooted deeply in faith.

His latest single, "Still True," released in January, is climbing the charts and resonating with listeners seeking hope in uncertain times. The song emphasizes God's constant presence through hardship, with the chorus declaring: "You were good then, You're still true now." The track debuted on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs and is already trending on Apple Music's Worship Today playlist.

Wells, a former lead singer of Royal Tailor, has long been a bridge between worship and mainstream sound. Over the past few years, he's collaborated with artists like H.E.R., Kirk Franklin, and Elevation Worship - all while keeping Christ at the center of his work.

"I want to write music that reminds people who God is - not just when life is great, but especially when it's not," Wells shared in a recent interview.

That heart for ministry will soon carry onto the stage as he kicks off his 2026 "Faith Forward" Tour in March, with stops in 25 cities. The tour promises a blend of worship, testimony, and music that inspires.

In a cultural moment where truth often feels blurry, Tauren Wells offers something solid: bold faith, honest lyrics, and music that points upward. His voice is not just rising - it's leading.
