Multiple Grammy®, Stellar, and Dove Award winning Gospel recording artist Israel Houghton and his longtime ensemble New Breed have released their highly anticipated new album, Covered: Alive in Asia. It marks the tenth album Israel has recorded with New Breed and is the latest installment of his "Alive in..." series featuring live recordings from his recent tour across Asia in front of packed crowds in Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Jakarta, Japan, Malaysia and South Korea. Covered: Alive in Asia delivers some of Israel and New Breed's best cross-cultural worship to date and includes appearances from guest artists Tye Tribbett, BJ Putnam, Yolanda Adams, and Jonathan McReynolds. "This project is certainly the largest, as far as scale, that we've ever embarked upon" says Israel. "I'm grateful to our New Breed movement for always being willing to dream big and take action around this vision. I feel it's our best offering to date... Gospel is good news- Good News is global. Global Gospel, Kingdom Music is our passion."
"In Jesus Name" is a victorious anthem that rejoices because God is on our side and He has overcome. It gives worshippers a chance to joyfully declare "I will live, I will not die. The resurrection power of Christ alive in me and I am free in Jesus' Name. I will live, I will not die. I will declare and lift You high, Christ revealed and I am healed in Jesus' Name." Featuring the talents of Tye Tribbett, "Chasing Me Down" proclaims the truth that God will never stop pursuing us with His grace. With great energy and excitement, it praises, "Your love, Your love for me is running wild and free. Your goodness and mercy taking me over. Your love, Your love won't change. Your promises remain. Stronger than sin and shame. I can't outrun Your grace." Tender worship ballad "Already Done" offers blessings and encouragement that Jesus loves us and will always keep us in His care. Utilizing the lyrics of the hymn, "'Tis So Sweet to Trust In Jesus," this beautiful duet between Israel and Jonathan McReynolds reminds us that we can always trust in His promises.
These songs are certain to have a great impact on the Church. Covered: Alive in Asia is now available worldwide on iTunes so download your copy today!
