Anthony Evans (July 15, 2008 – Nashville, TN) — On the heels of Anthony Evans’ third studio project, The Bridge (EMI Gospel), just released June 10th, Evans is celebrating a few number ones in his career as well as amazing reviews from fans, new and old, and media.

NUMBER ONES
*The Bridge found itself as the #1 top downloaded CD on iTunes Christian & Gospel page during street week. In fact, at the date of this news release, the CD is still featured on its homepage, showing that iTunes users from all over have been impacted by the musical talents of Anthony Evans and the songs of The Bridge, writing such comments as:

“This is undoubtedly one of the best worship albums I have ever heard. Evans’ voice is flawless and the arrangements…refreshing!”

“Anthony Evans’ music is anointed! If you don’t have his first two albums I encourage you to get them. They will be a blessing in your life like they’ve been to mine. Praise God for the life of Anthony Evans!”

“WOW! If only there was another word to describe Anthony’s voice. It [The Bridge] showed the worship music that I do not hear in most of Christian music now. Buy the CD, you won’t be sorry!”

*Also at the top is Evans’ music video for “Meaningless,” which took the #1 spot on Gospel Music Channel’s Soul charts this past May, staying there for a solid five weeks. In addition, his video for “Letting Go” was #1 for four weeks on GMC’s Soul charts just two years ago, eventually becoming their overall #1 song!

The Bridge was produced by Evans and Nathan Nockels and continues to showcase that Anthony Evans is like no other. With recent appearances on FamilyNet’s “EveryDay With Marcus & Lisa,” Gospel Music Channel’s “The Kitchen Sink” and GMC’s Insider News, as well as Life Outreach International’s “Life Today,” Evans is continuing to impact people everywhere.

The media continues to post amazing reviews as well:
“Evans brings emotion and vulnerability, a great addition to songs that have the danger of becoming routine. His voice and instrumentals read like an open book. If you have not fallen for this man's heart for worship yet, you will with this album.” – Worship Leader

“…he [Evans] and his backup vocalists are as soulful as ever…Evans doesn’t always settle for the obvious.” –Andree Farias for CMC

“…The Bridge is a homerun. Evans breathes new life into these standards with soulful vocals and tasteful arrangements.” –Christian Retailing

“’Blessed Be Your Name’ is particularly fresh…The Bridge is a vocally strong, worshipful album.” – CBA Retailers+Resources
