Emerging Voices, the seventh new full-length recording from Jesus Culture Music, released last week amidst acclaim. In its first week at retail, it has become the No. 1 best-selling album on the SoundScan "Praise & Worship" chart, spent most of last week at No. 1 on the iTunes® "Christian & Gospel" chart and peaked at No. 11 on the overall iTunes "Top Albums" chart. The highly anticipated new album follows last year's critically acclaimed, No. 1- selling double-CD, Jesus Culture Awakening: Live From Chicago, and features four rising worship leaders: Derek Johnson, Mary Kat Ehrenzeller, Nate Ward and Justin Jarvis.
With all new original worship songs that range from the moving "Mighty Fortress" to the message of surrender in "Where You Are" and the soulful anthem "I Belong To You," here is what the critics are saying about Emerging Voices:
"Derek Johnson, Mary Kat Ehrenzeller, Nate Ward, and Justin Jarvis deliver the message of grace and love with inspiring lyrics and a moving sound using inventive lead synth and guitar lines, heart-thumping bass drum, and beautiful melodies that are unforgettable." - Worship Leader"If this is where Jesus Culture is headed, I, for one, want in." - All About Worship
"The album…is a must listen for worship leaders. It's no surprise as it features four of today's brightest new worship leaders: Derek Johnson, Mary Kat Ehrenzeller, Nate Ward and Justin Jarvis." - GotWorship.net
"Jesus Culture is more than just a recording band; they are a Holy influence that has permeated into souls of millions of young people…Jesus Culture does not just record albums. They invite us into the worship of God on God's own turf. This means that these songs are insatiably God-centered and Spirit anointed." - Breathecast.com
"Emerging Voices brings four new worship leaders to the stage… an excellent next step for the ministry." - Sunday Magazine
"Jesus Culture has grown from strength to strength over the last few years…Emerging Voices is exactly what this album is about, and those voices are making great worship to God that you just want to join in with them." - LouderThanTheMusic.com (5-star review)
