(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) January 26, 2008 – On the heels of an incredibly successful 2008, including having one of the top-selling and most acclaimed projects of the year and the announcement of his upcoming induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame (2/2/09), Michael W. Smith releases A New Hallelujah – The Live Worship DVD on March 17.

This new DVD is the video companion to Smith’s newest record, and third worship album, A New Hallelujah. Recorded live in Houston last summer before 12,000 people, a 250-voice choir and several special guests including the African Children’s Choir and 2008 GRAMMY Award-winner, Israel Houghton, this DVD captures the powerful experience of the evening’s worship in high-definition. The 90-minute long project features all 13 songs from A New Hallelujah (10/28/08), plus four new tracks and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage.

Steve Gilreath, the DVD’s director, notes, “This project truly makes you feel like you were in the room that night, and the HD quality only adds to the experience. It’s amazing how you can feel the room ebb and flow as the evening progresses. This really is more of an ‘experience’ project than a standard DVD.”

Smith’s first worship album, simply titled Worship, released on September 11, 2001, and has sold more than a 1.5 million copies. Its follow up Worship Again released September 19, 2002, and is nearing the 800,000 mark.
