Capitol Christian Music Group’s rising recording artist Jamie MacDonald is celebrating her first-ever K-LOVE Fan Awards with three nominations The 2025 K-LOVE Fan Awards are taking place Sunday, May 25th at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, TN. Jamie MacDonald is nominated for Female Artist of the Year, Song of the Year and Breakout Single of the Year for “Desperate,” with fan voting opening May 2nd here klovefanawards.com.
In addition to the nomination, MacDonald will perform her hit single “Desperate” live during the Emerging Artist Showcase.
Now holding the No. 1 spot for the fourth consecutive week on both the Billboard Christian AC and Mediabase Christian AC charts, and crossing 1 million weekly global streams, “Desperate” is a heartfelt anthem of surrender and hope. Jamie MacDonald wrote the song while healing from the loss of her father, a former professional boxer, after five years spent as his caregiver. Born from lived experience, the track channels the raw, unfiltered emotions of that season.
“The reason why I can sing this song is because I felt that way for five years straight,” shares MacDonald. “‘Desperate’ has become my anthem when I haven’t had the words to pray.”
Following her 2024 debut single “A Million Chances,” MacDonald has quickly emerged as one of the most talked-about new voices in Christian music. She recently earned a Breakout Artist of the Year nomination at CMB’s Momentum 2025, and continues to build a growing fanbase drawn to her message of faith, resilience, and honest storytelling.
With these nominations in tow and her chart-topping single continuing to resonate, Jamie MacDonald is stepping into a breakthrough season — and she’s only just getting started.
