Singer and Songwriter Natalie Layne premieres a new music video for “Amen” on August 18th and CBN’s Studio 5 has the video early for you to get an exclusive look before the official release!
Take a look:
“Amen” was a song title that was inspired by the simple kindness of a neighbor.
“It’s such a small thing that can inspire a song sometimes,” says Layne. “There’s a lot of hard things happening in the world, and I just felt so heavy one particular week. I was driving out of my neighborhood, and one of my neighbors was out on their morning walk. They waved and smiled as I drove by, and it restored my faith in humanity for a second.”
Writing that seemingly insignificant gesture into the bridge of what became “Amen,” Layne shares, “I started thinking, ‘What if there was a song where we could say ‘amen’ to all the good things happening in the world and not discount the hard things?’ We need to acknowledge the broken things, but there’s actually a higher reality at work in the world. There’s still joy even when hard things are happening. Grief and gratitude can exist at the same time.”
“Amen” is the title track from the singer’s latest 6-song album through Centricity Music. This is her debut on the label, but she has released music independently and has a strong social media presence on TikTok and Instagram.

Layne’s inspiring, uplifting, and joy-filled music has led to opening concerts for Jeremy Camp, Chris Tomlin and We the Kingdom, as well as sharing stages at festivals with Steven Curtis Chapman, Mandisa and Crowder.
Tickets are available now to see Natalie Layne on the “Stay Strong” Tour opening for Grammy-nominated American Idol alum Danny Gokey.
