Jamie MacDonald “Won’t Let Go”: New Single & Debut Album News

The Voice You’ve Been Hearing Everywhere Finally Has a Name: Jamie MacDonald Drops “Won’t Let Go”

If you’ve turned on a radio or scrolled through a “New Christian Pop” playlist lately, you’ve likely felt the impact of Jamie MacDonald’s voice before you even knew her name. The Michigan-born singer-songwriter has been the industry’s best-kept secret for years, working behind the curtain in Nashville’s elite writing rooms.

But with the release of her latest single, “Won’t Let Go,” and the arrival of her self-titled debut album on January 23, 2026, Jamie is stepping out from the wings and into the spotlight where she belongs.

More Than Just a “Debut”

Calling this a debut feels like a bit of an understatement. Most artists don’t enter the scene with multiple #1 hits already under their belt, but Jamie isn’t most artists. Before the album even dropped, songs like “Desperate” and “Left It In The River” were already staples on the airwaves, helping her amass over 1.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

What makes Jamie stand out in a crowded pop landscape isn’t just the production—though being backed by Capitol Christian Music Group (CCMG) certainly helps—it’s the grit in her storytelling. She’s lived the lyrics she sings, and you can hear that “honed-in-the-trenches” authenticity in every note of “Won’t Let Go.”

Why “Won’t Let Go” Hits Different

“Won’t Let Go” is a massive, synth-driven pop anthem, but at its heart, it’s deeply personal. It’s a song about the kind of stubborn hope that refuses to quit when life gets messy.

“I spent years helping other people tell their stories,” Jamie says. “Writing this album was the first time I really gave myself permission to tell mine. ‘Won’t Let Go’ is about that moment you realize you don’t have to carry the weight of the world on your own—that there’s a love holding onto you that’s stronger than your own grip.”

By the Numbers: The Rise of a Breakout Star

The industry is taking notice, and the stats back up the hype. Jamie’s transition from songwriter to superstar has been a masterclass in organic growth:

  • 135M+ Global Streams: A testament to her relatability across borders.

  • 130M+ Social Views: Where her “real-talk” videos and raw acoustic snippets have built a massive, loyal community.

  • Prime Time Presence: You’ve likely heard her music in the background of your favorite TV dramas and film trailers.

What’s On the Horizon?

Now that the album is officially out in the world, Jamie isn’t slowing down. She’s hitting the road this February for her first headlining tour, bringing these songs to life in the intimate settings where they were first conceived.

If you’re looking for music that feels like a conversation with an old friend—honest, a little bit raw, but ultimately uplifting—Jamie MacDonald is the artist you need in your rotation right now.

“Won’t Let Go” is available now on Apple Music, Spotify, and everywhere you get your music.
