ATLANTA, Ga. – Take Over, the third CD from best-selling, three-time Dove Award-winning male vocalist Aaron Shust, releases this week amid critical acclaim from the media. The New York Times has hailed the project as “Mr. Shust’s third and best album, and one of this year’s most impressive Christian records.”

Take Over is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to Shust’s critically acclaimed Whispered And Shouted (2007) and is produced by Rusty Varenkamp and Jason Ingram (10th Avenue North, Rush of Fools, Bebo Norman, Meredith Andrews). Shust wrote or co-wrote each of the twelve new songs on Take Over.

Aaron recently wrapped up a slate of festival and special event performances, which included GMA’s Immerse Conference in Nashville and the National Worship Leader Conference in Kansas City. He will join the “Glory Revealed” tour later this month, followed by headlining a 20-plus-city fall tour with Chris Sligh.
