Herndon & Passons "Testify To Love"

Grammy nominated & Dove Award winning country artist & author Ty Herndon & Michael Passons founding member of the multi-platinum Christian pop group Avalon have released a powerful new reimagining of the 1997 anthem "Testify to Love." The single was produced by Grammy winner Wayne Haun for worldwide release by Herndon’s label home Club44 Records. Originally a career-defining hit for Avalon "Testify to Love" spent months atop the charts & became one of the most recognizable songs in the history of Contemporary Christian Music (CCM). This 2026 version strips away the barriers of the past reuniting Passons with fellow former Avalon member Melissa Greene who is featured on the track to deliver a vocal performance that celebrates authenticity, faith & inclusion. Herndon stated, "This song has always been about the power of love. By bringing these voices together, we’re sending a message that faith & identity can coexist in beautiful harmony.” Passons concluded, "For years, I sang these words while hiding who I truly was. To record this now with Ty, Melissa & this incredible group of artists—standing fully in my truth—is a full-circle moment I once thought was impossible. It’s a testimony to the fact that love doesn’t exclude." The track is elevated by an all-star chorus featuring a lineup of powerhouse emerging LGBTQ artists & advocates including Jada Cato, Andrew Mitch, Jessica Rose & Bryan Ruby who provide backing vocals on the track alongside Herndon, Passons & Greene. The track comes on the heels of Herndon’s latest triumph the release of his long awaited memoir What Mattered Most (Dey Street) which chronicles his personal struggles with religious trauma, drug addiction, mental health & coming out as the first major male artist in country music.
