The Big Christmas Music Giveaway (Updated w/ Winners!)

December 16, 2010 in Giveaways, Music, Worship with 24 Comments

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

It’s Christmastime and I’m excited to be partnering with Integrity Music to give away FIVE 3-CD Christmas Music Gift packs, each consisting of the following:

  1. Israel & New Breed “A Timeless Christmas” (my personal favorite Christmas album)
  2. “Worship & Adore: A Christmas Offering” (featuring Kari Jobe, Paul Baloche, Lincoln Brewster, Vicky Beeching and many more)
  3. “A Brooklyn Tabernacle Christmas” (brand new 2010 release)

BAM! That’s A LOT of great music just in time for your holiday enjoyment and musical merriment!

Since it was originally released in 2006, Israel & New Breed’s “A Timeless Christmas” has been at the top of my list of favorite Christmas albums.  It’s lively, festive, worshipful and an all-around musical tour-de-force unlike anything else I’ve heard. In fact, it has the distinction of being the ONLY Christmas album that I actually listen to throughout the entire year.  It’s that good.  Here’s just a little taste of “A Timeless Christmas”, with one of my favorite tracks… “Hark! (featuring Matthew West)”…

Israel Houghton “Love God. Love People.” Giveaway

August 23, 2010 in Music, Worship with 19 Comments

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” – Matthew 28:36-40

It is around this core Biblical theme where Israel Houghton chose to center the heart of his new album, “Love God. Love People.”  Israel is no stranger to pushing the musical envelope and creating a virtual stylistic melting pot and the new album, recorded at London’s famed Abbey Road Studios, is bursting at the seams with fresh sounds and expressions, all the while never straying too far from the signature Israel Houghton sound.

Songs like “Yahweh (The Lifter)” and the first single “You Hold My World” could easily be adopted by church worship teams while the title track and Israel’s take on Chris Tomlin’s “Our God” bring new sounds into the mix, and the result is quite remarkable.

My favorite song is probably “Surprises”, which features a guest vocal from Fred Hammond. I love the lyrical concept, the production and the way the song progresses and develops, ending much different than it began. It’s quite dope, actually.

Here’s a little taste of what you can expect from the album:

“Love God. Love People.” does not release until August 31, but the good people at Integrity Music are giving 5 AnIdolHeart.com readers an opportunity to WIN IT BEFORE YOU CAN BUY IT! Pretty awesome, eh?  Who loves ya, baby?!?! :)
