This week’s premieres promises to get you off your feet.

For his most current musical offering, Israel Houghton steps away from the members of New Breed, who are themselves active in their own ministries, to record a solo project that is his most personal effort to date.

The album, The Power Of One, challenges people to change the world. “I strongly believe that those of us who consider ourselves worshippers need to have a heart for social justice,” says Israel who penned the CD’s title song specifically around that theme for the album.

The album also features guest vocals from such top artists as tobyMac, Martin Smith of Delirious?, Mary Mary and Chevelle Franklyn.

Mandisa returns with her third full-length release, Freedom.

Featuring the first single “My Deliverer”, the overaching theme of the album is the unique freedom that comes from a relationship with Christ. This unbelievable freedom is wide reaching and includes the right to be free from any bondage that binds us, free from sin, free from fear, free from the anxieties of this world, and much more.

Each song on the album addresses a different aspect of this freedom: “Not Guilty” illustrates that while our sin would condemn us, Jesus paid the penalty to set us free; “Definition Of Me” shows how we are free from society’s standards of value and beauty; “You Wouldn’t Cry” is a testimony of one who has been set free from this world and now enjoys the full privileges of heavenly citizenship; “My Deliverer” and “Freedom Song” are praise celebrations for our great God who has truly set us free.

Uniting again with acclaimed Grammy® and Dove Award-winning producers Brown Bannister (Amy Grant, Jeremy Camp, MercyMe) and Chris Stevens (tobyMac, Matthew West, Sanctus Real), Mandisa continues to inspire and encourage listeners with her music.

Both albums will be available on Tuesday, March 24th at your local Canadian Christian retailer. Keep track of all the new and upcoming releases via your own personal copy of the March New Music Tuesday poster. Head over to HearItFirst.ca to hear these new releases.
