It has been a memorable week for rising Contemporary Christian music artist Mary-Clair, who recently attended the Nashville red carpet premiere of Lionsgate's highly anticipated faith-based film sequel, I Can Only Imagine 2-all while her newest song "There's A God" continues to gain traction with listeners.
The Nashville native shares a uniquely personal connection to the film. In I Can Only Imagine 2, Mary-Clair is portrayed by her own sister, Ruthie Brickell, adding an emotional layer to the story surrounding one of Christian music's most beloved movements. The premiere brought together artists, filmmakers, and members of the faith community celebrating the film's powerful message of hope and redemption.
At the same time, Mary-Clair's music is experiencing a surge of attention. Her latest single "There's A God," produced by Jeff Pardo and released through Nashville-based Vere Music, has quickly become a fan favorite, landing on several faith-based playlists across Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and other streaming platforms. The acoustic-driven ballad highlights Mary-Clair's heartfelt songwriting and strong vocal delivery, resonating with listeners drawn to its message of faith and encouragement.
The momentum continued recently when Mary-Clair performed "There's A God" live on WSMV-TV's Today in Nashville, introducing the uplifting song to a broader audience. She also filmed the official music video for the track in Nashville, directed by Evan Smith and Duncan Smith, which is expected to release soon.
The song is part of Mary-Clair's acclaimed debut album Enough, released through Vere Music and produced by two-time GRAMMY Award-winning producer Tedd T, known for his work with artists such as Dolly Parton, for KING & COUNTRY, and MercyMe. The project has been steadily gaining attention and is now approaching 10 million total streams, marking a major milestone for the 22-year-old singer-songwriter.
The album includes standout tracks such as "Red Eye," "Enough," "Your Love," and "Heaven In the Way," each blending modern pop production with themes of faith, identity, and hope. Mary-Clair has also collaborated with Christian hip-hop artist Tedashii on the song "Never Be the Same," further expanding her creative reach.
Industry watchers have taken notice. Today's Christian Entertainment recently named Mary-Clair among its "2026 Artists to Watch," highlighting the relatable storytelling and faith-centered themes found throughout her music. Media outlets including The Christian Beat, Jesus Freak Hideout, Kingdom Builder, Divine Magazine, and GodTube Music have also featured the young artist as her audience continues to grow.
Beyond recording, Mary-Clair has been steadily building her presence on stage. During GMA Dove Awards Week in Nashville, she performed as part of a Brickhouse Entertainment showcase, and she regularly participates in Nashville's popular writers' rounds. She has also delivered the National Anthem at several sporting events, introducing new audiences to her music.
Reflecting on the film premiere, Mary-Clair expressed gratitude for the people behind the project and the story it tells.
"I am so proud of my dad and all of my dear friends in the MercyMe family for the hard work and honesty they put into this film," she shared. "It's a true story of balancing hard times and blessings and learning how to find peace in both. I hope you can find time to go see this movie in theaters... and you might hear my name mentioned in a scene!"
With a major film premiere appearance, a growing streaming presence, and an expanding platform within Christian music, Mary-Clair continues to emerge as one of contemporary Christian pop's most promising new voices.
