JJ Heller

JJ Heller's musical career was birthed through the death of a dream to play college basketball. A disappointing basketball debut her freshman year of college led her to pick up a guitar during her sophomore year of school. That same year, JJ met her future husband, David Heller, shortly thereafter the couple began playing her songs in the San Francisco Bay Area.

 I grew up loving creative writing. Once I learned to play the guitar, song writing came with it, said JJ, who has been a full-time singer/songwriter since the spring of 2003. Six years and three full-length records later, JJ s acoustic-folk sound and heartfelt lyrics have netted the Nashville-based artist a loyal following. I feel called to be honest about what s going on in my life -- to talk and sing about the struggles that I face so that my listeners realize that they are not alone, explains JJ. For some reason, Christians (including myself) sometimes think, if I m following the Lord and doing the best I can, that life will be easy, and it s not. That s where grace comes in, and that s where we grow. Music and grace aren t the only things growing in the Heller household these days.

This December (2009) their little girl, Lucy Love, turns one year old.  JJ says the themes of hope and redemption showcased on their new album, Painted Red, largely draw from the life experience leading up to Lucy's birth. We have the choice to live in fear, or to live in the hope that God is in every moment with us, JJ says. That s one of the major themes of this season in my life. It's a theme reflected in her song Your Hands, When my world is shaking, heaven stands. When my heart is breaking, I never leave your hands.

Michael W. Smith

Recorded live on June 20 in Houston, TX with more than 12,000 worshipers in attendance, artist, composer, author, and worship leader Michael W. Smith recorded his third, highly-anticipated worship album, A New Hallelujah.

“Since my last world tour a few years ago, I’ve been looking forward to recording a live worship project that reflected something more global than I’ve ever done before; a collection of songs and voices to translate what I experienced that year. I had hoped for an evening of worship that reflected the corners of our nation, and the world; I think we captured that. My great friend Israel Houghton, the world renowned African Children’s Choir, an incredible young worship leader named Coalo Zamorano, and a 250-voice choir elevated the songs to amazing moments of praise and worship. It was more than I could have hoped for,” shares Smith.

With several new songs that Michael wrote especially for this project, as well as familiar ones such as "Mighty to Save" and "I Surrender All", A New Hallelujah offers a uniquely moving worship experience for both fans of his highly-successful Worship brand, as well as those who are just discovering his music for the first time.
