Anne Wilson Releases New Single "Stand" + Kicks Off Tour

In her first release since her critically acclaimed genre-blending album REBEL, PLATINUM-certified, GRAMMY-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson releases a powerful new track titled "Stand," available everywhere today. Listen to the song HERE.

Wilson also embarked on her nearly sold-out 28-stop The REBEL Tour, last night (9/12) in Tulsa, Okla. before returning to Nashville for her Ryman Auditorium headline debut on Sept. 25, 2024.

Today's release, "Stand," was penned by Wilson with frequent collaborators Matthew West, Jeff Pardo and Jonathan Smith. "Stand" finds Wilson steadily building vocal momentum with each verse, delivering a passionate call to stand firm on faith-filled truths. Staying true to the 'REBEL' spirit seen on her recent album, Wilson encourages the listener to dare to be different.

"These days, our world feels so divided. It can make us feel afraid to speak up about things that matter to us," shared Wilson. "Writing my record, REBEL, fired me up to think about how I can live my life and my faith boldly, unafraid to stand up for what I believe in. 'Stand' is a song that came out of feeling all those feelings. I want to stand up for love in a world filled with hate, stand for peace where there's division, stand for my faith in God and stand for the freedom we get to enjoy in this great country. I want to stand proudly like a cross on a hill that stood for me and I hope you do too!"

Wilson's momentum continues to build as she heads into the 55th annual GMA Dove Awards with four nominations, bringing her Dove total to eleven nominations and two wins in the last two years. Taking place on Tuesday, Oct. 1 at the Allen Arena in Nashville, Tenn., Wilson is up for Artist of the Year for the first time, along with nods for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year for "Strong," Bluegrass/Country/Roots Recorded Song of the Year for "Praying Woman" with Lainey Wilson and Bluegrass/Country/Roots Album of the Year for REBEL. The Awards will air exclusively on TBN and TBN+ and simulcast on SiriusXM The Message on Friday, October 4 at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET.

Wilson's "upbeat banger" (GRAMMY.com) "Songs About Whiskey" from her sophomore album REBEL continues to be heard on Country airwaves, while "The Cross (with Chris Tomlin)" simultaneously spins at Christian radio.

After thrilling audiences at some of Christian and country music's most sought after fairs and festivals this summer, Wilson will continue to bring her captivating performance to her nearly sold-out The REBEL Tour with special guest Jordan Rowe this fall.
