NASHVILLE, Tenn. (MAY 08, 2026) Provident Entertainment is excited to announce the signing of singer/songwriter
Molly Kate Kestner to its artist roster. Alongside the announcement, Kestner releases her brand-new single,
“Content,” available everywhere today.
“Content” marks Kestner’s first solo release in three years and introduces a new season of music rooted in faith, surrender, and authenticity. The song reflects on the ways people seek approval and validation from everything except God, ultimately pointing listeners toward the freedom that comes from fully trusting Him. Through uncertainty and change, “Content” reminds listeners that God remains faithful, present, and sovereign over every detail.
“We are thrilled to finally announce Molly as the newest signing to Provident,” shares Holly Zabka, President of Provident Entertainment. “Molly carries a rare mix of lyrical honesty and relatability in her songs, and after lending her hand to countless writes within our Essential Music Publishing family, it’s a joy for us to be able to partner with her as a Provident artist as well. We can’t wait to see how her fans receive these new songs she has poured her soul into!”
Kestner’s recent creative journey has also included writing four songs with her husband, Brock, for the soundtrack of the film DAVID. Each song was inspired by the Psalms and the story of David, further shaping the artistic and spiritual foundation of her upcoming music.
Best known for her deeply personal songwriting and soulful vocals, Kestner first gained national attention as a teenager when her original song went viral, earning more than 1.5 million views in less than two weeks and leading to a major label recording contract. Since then, she has continued to evolve as both an artist and a songwriter, building an impressive catalog that resonates with listeners around the world.
Over the years, Kestner has continued to establish herself as both an artist and a highly sought-after songwriter. She has collaborated with acclaimed producers and songwriters, including Ryan Tedder, Michael Pollack, and Emily Warren, and has writing credits with artists such as Kelly Clarkson (“Move You,” “Slow Dance”), Andy Grammer (“Thousand Faces”), and Elevation Rhythm (“You Will Be Saved”). Stay tuned for more new music from Kestner.
