New York, NY – (August 4, 2011) – Ever since the Stylos Records release of Fernando Ortega’s new album, Come Down O Love Divine, on July 12th, the momentum continues to build with success at radio and in the media.
“Just As I Am” from the album was tied for Most Adds one week on the Billboard Soft AC/Inspirational chart but was on the “Most Added” list for 3 weeks in a row (including the week it tied for Most Added). It debuted at #25 on the Christian Music Weekly Inspirational chart this week. Dave Purin from Billboard reporter WHCB commented that adding “Just As I Am” from Fernando was a ‘no brainer.’ Since going for adds, the response has been and continues to be very strong from programmers.
On the media side the album continues to get a barrage of praise with various quotes such as:
“With his tender musical touch, Ortega fills a nearly liturgical song collection with stunning melodies and reverent instrumentation.” - CCM Magazine
“Simply gorgeous.” – ChristianityToday.com
“It remains another triumph for Ortega, and a treat for those who have come to appreciate the singer/songwriter’s warm, personable vocals and unique artistic perspective.” – Crosswalk.com
After 5 years since his last release, Ortega has offered listeners a rich and beautifully composed compilation of original instrumental songs and lyrical hymns fueled by his intentional, worshipful approach to songwriting and his perspective on the current culture’s fractured relationship with prayer and meditation and the people are responding.
