"In 15 years playing together with New Breed, the song 'How Awesome Is Our God' was an incredible experience to perform live and share in God's love with our audience globally," said Israel Houghton. "Having Yolanda Adams singing with us on this song marks a personal 'bucket list' moment for me!"

The album was recorded during Houghton's recent tour in Asia before packed crowds in Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Jakarta, Japan, Malaysia and South Korea this past October. Covered: Alive in Asia will mark Israel Houghton & New Breed's 10th album together. Check out Israel & New Breed's single "How Awesome Is Our God" feat. Yolanda Adams:
