Contemporary Christian singer-songwriter Stephen Stanley has released his debut, self-titled EP, "Stephen Stanley," making it available for streaming and downloading across major digital music platforms, according to details accompanying the release. The EP is distributed via Capitol Christian Music Group (CCMG).
The Georgia-based artist presents his first collection of songs under the CCMG label. The release includes the track "Oasis," which is accompanied by an official music video available for viewing on various platforms.
Stanley's entry into music followed a childhood accident at age nine which resulted in the loss of hearing in one ear. Biographical information states he subsequently learned to play using his mother's guitar and spent the following decade developing his musical style.
His work led to a signing with Capitol Christian Music Group in 2020. Shortly after joining the label, Stanley released his debut single, "No Hopeless Soul."
Reflecting on the signing at the time, CCMG Co-President Hudson Plachy stated, "Stephen's talent is undeniable, and his story is compelling. We're eager for the world to experience the unique spirit he brings to the music industry."
The "Stephen Stanley" EP marks the artist's first extended play release since partnering with the major Christian music label.

“Oasis” Lyrics By Stephen Stanley
Verse 1:
I spend hours in my car
Wondering what I'm doing here
In this wasteland of my heart
Wishing home would reappear
Verse 2:
And I'm holding on so far
(Holding on so far)
Hoping that my vision's clear (Oh..oh..oh..oh, oh..oh..oh)
Looking for that Northern star
If it's real then show me where
Lead me there
Chorus:
I need You now, oh..ooh..oh..oh
Come find me out, oh..ooh..oh..oh
Shine a light in my dark places,
I need You to be
My sweet oasis (My sweet oasis),
My sweet oasis (Hey!)
Na, na..na..na..na..na
Na..Na..Na..Na..na
Na..Na..Na..Na..na
Na..Na..Na..na
Verse 3:
Give me shelter, give me peace
Silence every single fear (Na..na..na..na..na)
And I brought it here with mе
But pain is not my souvenir
Oh, come near
Chorus:
I need You now, oh..ooh..oh..oh
Comе find me out, oh..ooh..oh..oh
Shine a light in my dark places, I need You to be
My sweet oasis (My sweet oasis),
My sweet oasis (Hey!)
Na, na..na..na..na..na
Na..Na..Na..Na..na
Na..Na..Na..Na..na
Na..Na..Na..na
Bridge:
I know every corner of this desert
But You know it better, You know it better
I've let my emotions keep me drifting
Would You be my anchor? Would You be my anchor?
Chorus:
I need You now, oh..ooh..oh..oh
Come find me out, oh..ooh..oh..oh
Shine a light in my dark places, I need You to be
My sweet oasis (My sweet oasis),
My sweet oasis
Na, na..na..na..na..na (My sweet oasis)
Na..Na..Na..Na..na (Yeah)
Na..Na..Na..Na..na
Na..Na..Na..na
Outro:
Won't You shine a light in my dark places?
I need You to be
My sweet oasis (My sweet oasis),
My sweet oasis
