(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) October 1, 2008 – Christian music superstar Michael W. Smith gives fans an exciting glimpse into his upcoming 21st album, A New Hallelujah, (October 28) with the featured debut of the short-form music video of the title track, a hit song already scaling the heights of Christian radio charts.

The video premieres add to the existing momentum Smith is experiencing this week. His “A New Hallelujah” single was added to iTunes late yesterday and has already skyrocketed into the Top 10 on the iTunes Christian Songs Chart and “The Unity Tour,” featuring Smith and longtime friend Steven Curtis Chapman, launches October 9 in Columbus, Ohio.

The video, directed by Steve Gilreath, will receive its Internet debut October 1 as one of Yahoo Music’s exclusive Video Premieres (http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/premieres) followed by its television broadcast premiere on the Gospel Music Channel the following day (October 2), at 7 PM ET in the “It’s All Gospel” video block. Viewers will also be able to watch the video at www.gospelmusicchannel.com on the site’s new hi-def video player.

The Yahoo Music Channel will spotlight “A New Hallelujah” with a Music Home-Page feature. In addition, the video is the exclusive Yahoo Video Premiere for October 1 and prominently featured on the Video Premiere page. Yahoo’s video premiere generates 2-3 million impressions and they project more than 150,000 viewers will stream Smith’s video throughout this promotion.
