Description

“My first memory of Gospel music, I was five years old, my father took me to an Andrae Crouch concert. I think had someone taken a picture of me, it would [with my] mouth open, stunned.” Since that fateful day, Israel Houghton had a profound breakthrough into the Gospel music world. He would form Israel & NewBreed to release “New Season,” a prophetic title in that they would push the boundries of domestic praise & worship until they overflowed internationally (Alive in South Africa, 2005; A Deeper Level, 2007).

Now a multiple Grammy, Stellar and Dove Award winning gospel recording artist, Israel Houghton teams up, for the first time, with gospel powerhouse Yolanda Adams on his new single, “How Awesome Is Our God.” A powerful declaration rejoicing in God’s love, “How Awesome Is Our God’ is the second single from Israel & NewBreed’s upcoming new album Covered: Alive In Asia.

The recent BMI Trailblazers of Gospel Music award recipient, returns with a live worship experience captured in an expansive tour of Asia. Covered: Alive In Asia is Israel & NewBreed’s latest installment in their critically acclaimed “Alive in…” series. The album was recorded during Houghton’s recent tour in Asia before packed crowds in Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Jakarta, Japan, Malaysia and South Korea this past October. Covered: Alive In Asia will mark Israel Houghton & NewBreed’s 10th album together. The follow up takes the musical passion of the genre to a whole new level for cross-cultural worship leader. With every new sound, Israel & NewBreed continue to transform the scope of contemporary worship.
