Chris Tomlin Delivers Unprecedented Collection of Some of Worship Musics Most Well-Known Songs on How Great Is Our God: The Essential Collection
Music - CCM
Thursday, 17 November 2011 19:35

"How Great Is Our God" continues to be the No. 1 song sung in churches around the world, and in turn, is the fastest rising modern day hymn in CCLI chart history. This week, Chris Tomlin, the voice behind the popular church anthem, releasedHow Great Is Our God: The Essential Collection in honor of the song's global impact. The album continues to prove how this acclaimed artist is leading future generations in a new direction of worship. 
 
The 15-track album (track listing below) features seven No. 1 hits, all of which are in CCLI's Top 120 Chart. How Great Is Our God: The Essential Collection also includes new renditions of “Forever,” “We Fall Down” and a new version of the title track and fan favorite, “How Great Is Our God [World Edition]" featuring the international languages and voices of worship leaders Tomlin has met all over the globe on Passion world tours. This track is also the project's first single, spinning on over 19 AC stations, currently at No. 28 on the AC Indicator chart. 
 
“I’ve been thinking for a while if I ever did a ‘Best Of’ I’d want it to be called ‘How Great Is Our God’ just because of what that song has done and what that song has become globally,” explains the GRAMMY ® nominated artist. “It just seems to translate universally, as people have picked it up in their own countries and own languages. It’s the most special thing I’ve ever recorded. It gives you a sense that this is the whole world worshipping God.”
 
Critics are finding themselves amazed as they listen and witness the universal impact these songs have had: 
 
“What can possibly be said about Chris Tomlin to emphasize the impact he’s had on modern worship music, let alone the contemporary church as a whole? Perhaps the most sung artist anywhere on the planet, the singer/songwriter/worship leader’s career crests are aptly summarized on this compilation alongside three equally momentous new cuts, all of which give listeners plenty of reasons to praise.”-CCM Magazine
 
“This is a nice collection of hits that showcase Tomlin’s acute ability to give voice to this generation of worshippers. For most though, it will be a benchmark reminder of the global influence of music and the unprecedented way God uses those willing to surrender even the simplest of worship songs to Him.”-Crosswalk.com
 
“How Great Is Our God: The Essential Collection clearly illustrates Tomlin’s indelible impact on modern Christian music.  Along with his co-writers and band, he has provided an entire generation of believers a platform to worship God.”-The Fish
 
“Tomlin is literally one of the best, and this essential album collects the best on one disc for our listening, and worshiping enjoyment.”-HollywoodJesus.com 
 
The Billboard Music Award winner will also be featured on ChristianityToday.com next week, along with people from around the globe telling how these songs have impacted their lives.  In addition, the December issue of CCM magazine will feature an exclusive interview with Louie Giglio speaking one-on-one with Tomlin, and an upcoming podcast withRelevant magazine will also delve deeper into Tomlin's thoughts about these songs and their undeniable influence on the worldwide church.
 
Performing in front of sold out crowds everywhere; Tomlin will draw the fall leg of his  “And If Our God Is For Us...” tour to a close in Birmingham, AL this weekend. Also featuring Passion visionary and pastor, Louie Giglio, and labelmate, Christy Nockels, this was the follow-up to the very successful spring leg earlier this year.

Josh Wilson Embraces the True Spirit of the Holidays with Christmas Single Jesus Is Alive
Music - CCM
Monday, 31 October 2011 22:28

On November 18, Sparrow Records’ artist Josh Wilson will embrace the true spirit of Christmas as he releases “Jesus Is Alive,” available on iTunes ®.
 
Wilson will be performing  “Jesus Is Alive” on his Christmas tour this winter titled “Josh Wilson Presents Noel: A Unique Christmas Experience.” This 18-city tour will be unlike any he has done before, as he will showcase his diverse musical talents by operating over 20 different instruments throughout the evening. Inspired by the recording process of See You, where Wilson played over 15 various instruments one at a time, he will use computers and pedals to record all of the sounds from each tool in front of the audience. This allows every sound to be recorded as the night goes on. The end result is an extraordinary and magical holiday experience for the whole family.  Watch and listen to Wilson as he demonstrates what fans can witness live this Christmas here. For a full list of tour dates, see below.
 
“This is one of my favorite tours I've ever been on,” explains Wilson. “It's fun and unique because we're essentially bringing a recording studio to the stage.  Throughout the night, we'll use over 20 instruments to record Christmas carols in front of the audience.  I'm so excited to share these songs that remind us, as C.S. Lewis said, ‘The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God.’” 
 
While “Jesus Is Alive” will impact radio this holiday season, Wilson’s current single “Fall Apart” is continuing to climb the radio charts, presently at No. 12 at AC Indicator, No. 16 on the National Audience Chart and No. 18 on AC monitored.
