On June 3rd, Canadian worship artist and songwriter Joel Augé released his eclectic and authentic brand of worship music via his debut solo release On The Blue.

The first radio single from On The Blue is “So Deep In Love”. The ballad that is musically reminiscent of UK bands like Coldplay and Keane, was inspired by Ephesians 3:17-19 (so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God).

Here is what radio is saying about Augé, the album and the single:

• “Joel Augé is, in my opinion, one of the finest vocalists in Canada.”
  Brock Tozer, Music/Program Director, CHRI-99.1FM, Ottawa, ON
  
  

• “We are playing it and I think it’s great ! Joel has a professional sound and could be our next big thing in Canada.”
  Don Mabee, Station Manager, Newsong FM, Saint John, NB
  
  

• “Joel Augé offers a fresh take on the modern worship movement with “On The Blue.” The songs are intimate yet accessible; the voice passionate yet soothing! Not since the “Song of Solomon” has there been such a public expression of a personal relationship with the “Lover of One’s Soul.”
  Jim Leek, Morning Host/Music Director, JOY1250, Oakville, ON
  
  

• “Joel has re-invented himself once again. The track is beyond anything we could imagine, and is a testement to his love of God and his craft.”
  Curtis Belcher, CJTK 95.5FM, Sudbury, ON
  
  

• “The first thing I noticed on ‘So Deep in Love’ was the tremendous vocal range Joel showcases as a solo artist. His delivery is both reflective and passionate. It`s refreshing to hear a lyric repeated throughout a song in way that allows the listener to pause and reflect on such a simple, yet meaningful message.”
  Ben Davy, Morning Host, LIFE 100.3, Barrie, ON
