Chris Tomlin’s New Album : Hello Love – Out 2 Sep

Yes yes… and i can’t wait for this CD too!! Wow this week two new CDs from Hillsong & Planet Shakers and then in two months time Chris Tomlin … woo hoo!!!

Hello Love will be available on 2 September 2008 and already songs from his single release are already hitting the radios in US. There have been great reviews of his new song Jesus Messiah.

Listen to it below .. tell us what you think!

Following his 2006 RIAA Gold-certified record, See The Morning, Tomlin’s latest project communicates what he describes as the “need to introduce ourselves to love again.”

Produced by Ed Cash, Hello Love endeavours to give voice to the Church to worship their Creator. This is evident throughout the album on songs like “Love”, “God of This City”, “Sing, Sing, Sing”, and “I Will Rise” to name a few.

Tomlin explains, “With each new record, I continue to strive to create songs that will help people voice their worship to God. Worship is a massive word with a very broad scope, but in the end, it is very simple. It is love! It’s our response in love to our great God who loved us first.”

Among those new songs already connecting with worshippers nation-wide, and across the globe as Tomlin is currently performing them on Passion’s first world tour, is debut radio single “Jesus Messiah”. Released last Friday, “Jesus Messiah” garnered 97 adds across three formats this week, marking the biggest ever add date for a single in Christian Radio history. Early response from radio stations suggests the song will be long-lived:

“Chris Tomlin strikes gold again in his beautiful ballad ‘Jesus Messiah.’ Chris seems unable to pen a bad or even mediocre song. It is simply always spectacular.”
- Jon Rivers, music director KLOVE Radio Network

“Chris never disappoints. ‘Jesus Messiah’ is another example of his deep songs that are easy to sing and still keep the focus on the One who deserves the glory.”
- Jim Beeler, music director, KSBJ-FM

“I knew Chris Tomlin’s new song, ‘Jesus Messiah’ was going to be an ‘add,’ but I’ve run out of superlatives. It surpassed all our expectations; wow!”
- Scott Valentine, program director, KCMS-FM

“Tomlin does it again! It’s honest. It’s sincere.It connects. It’s worship not just for Sundays, but for life lived every day. It’s here, and will be for years to come!”
- Chris Lemke, GM/PD WCSG-FM

“I am not sure how Chris keeps doing it, but once again we have a song that is going to be huge! This one is easily on the short list for song of the year already.”
- Jeff Cruz, assistant program director, WPOZ-FM

Grant Hubbard, vice president of national promotion for EMI CMG Label Group adds, “Chris Tomlin has once again delivered a song that hits the bull’s eye of radio’s target. 97 out-of-the-box adds shows the belief and trust that radio has for Chris.”

President and CEO of EMI CMG, Bill Hearn also comments, “Chris Tomlin’s songs continue to have a profound effect on culture through the church worldwide and radio’s overwhelming response to ‘Jesus Messiah’ is a powerful indication that this new song will also have tremendous impact. All of us at EMI CMG and sixstepsrecords are honoured to play a role in this history making event and look forward to what we believe will be one of the biggest albums of the year in all of music.”

Tomlin too is equally excited about the song’s reception, commenting, “This is crazy! I can’t quite believe these guys at EMI radio and the phenomenal job they have done to get ‘Jesus Messiah’ to radio in such a strong and incredible way. I am grateful beyond words and pray this song resonates with folks as they celebrate Jesus the Messiah – the One who has come for us.”
