Contemporary Christian mainstay Michael W. Smith has a new disc due out on Oct. 28, and it makes his third foray into the lucrative worship-release market.
The album, A New Hallelujah, was recorded live this June at Lakewood Church in Houston, TX. in front of some 12,000-plus fans. At the two-hour event/recording, Smith was joined by a 250-voice choir, fellow Christian market star Israel Houghton, Houston-based worship leader Coalo Zamorano and The African Children’s Choir. Hallelujah marks a whopping 21 releases from Smith, and includes a mix of well-known worship songs and originals penned specifically for the project.
“Since my last world tour a few years ago, I’ve been looking forward to recording a live worship project that reflected something more global than I’ve ever done before," Smith said in a statement. "I had hoped for an evening of worship that reflected the corners of our nation, and the world; I think we captured that."
MichaelWSmith.com will start taking pre-orders on August 1; stay tuned for lots of sneak peeks at the making of this amazing project! And for those of you wondering what the BIG announcement is that is referred to in another article - this is NOT the announcement we are referring to - eventhough this is pretty HUGE!
