With 2009's THE POWER OF ONE, gospel star Israel Houghton offers up a vibrant and dynamic set of faith-rooted songs.
A rare outing without Houghton's New Breed backing ensemble, the album finds the singer/worship leader recruiting some high-profile guests, most notably TobyMac, who appears on the rock-leaning "You Found Me", and Mary Mary, who contribute to the soulful "Every Prayer". 
With Hearts As One captures the amazing sound of Hillsong United's powerful songs being shared with worshippers from around the world.
A double album of 28 songs, the recordings are all taken from United's 2006 world tour and come from different towns and cities from across the world, including Cape Town, London, Toronto, Kiev, Buenos Aires, Chicago, Manilla and many more.
Featuring many of United's best loved songs including 'Take It All', 'From The Inside Out', 'One Way' and 'The Stand', the album also includes 2 Brand new tracks that have never been recorded before.
God of This City is a collection of recordings from Passion 07 in Atlanta and additional recordings from Passion regional events which were held late 2007. Chris Tomlin features on 2 new tracks - one being the title track and 'Sing, Sing, Sing' as well as new tracks from Matt Redman. David Crowder Band and Charlie Hall also feature, with additional contributions from Kristian Stanfill (Jesus Paid It All on Everything Glorious) and Fee - the band led by Atlanta worship leader Steve Fee.
Delirious? deliver an album of fresh songs designed to highlight their growing concern for social justice. From cancer to consumerism, five star dreams to slums and poverty made personal, Kingdom of Comfort questions everything. The result is their most risky, real and compelling album to date - a collection of songs that act like catalysts more than lullabies, that spark fires that refine faith. Delirious? have set the scene - the rule book has gone, the energy is even higher, the time is most definitely right for the most remarkable phase of their already remarkable career.
With over 9 million records sold to date, Steven Curtis Chapman has made an overwhelming impact on Christian music. This year finds Chapman celebrating the newness of life in Christ, pressing forward with a new sense of drive, passion and clarity. All Things New weaves together his unmistakable voice and signature songwriting style with innovation and contemplation.

This Album is sure to ignite an overwhelming response from Chapman's loyal fans as well.
