New from The Recording Collective - Gospel Volume 2: Every Praise Friday, March 24, 2017 Last year, our team here at MultiTracks.com started a new project called The Recording Collective with the simple goal of creating recordings that would be a resource to worship leaders and listeners in multicultural congregations around the world. After our initial EP, we are excited to announce the release of our first full-length album, Every Praise, which you can now purchase on iTunes. It was produced by Grammy® winning producer/programmer Chris Baker (Israel & New Breed) and features acclaimed vocalists Onaje Jefferson, Charlin Neal, Cristabel Clack, and Tamika Carter. Chris and his team have taken some of today's most popular worship favorites and have breathed new life into them, creating arrangements that are both highly creative and congregational. The album is full of musically unique twists and turns that truly give each song an exciting new context. You'll find familiar rock or synth pop songs such as “Alive" and “This Is Amazing Grace” have been completely transformed into some eclectic, soulful and groove-based tracks. We think you'll love the bold arrangement of "Our God / In Jesus Name" which features the seamless mashup of two popular anthems from Chris Tomlin and Israel and New Breed. Also included are soulful R&B renditions of "Good Good Father" "Holy Spirit" and "No Longer Slaves" that we think you'll enjoy. MultiTracks are available for every song on the album and you can download all of the charts for free at therecordingcollective.com.
