Product Description
CD Description
Recorded live on 20 June in Houston, Texas, with more than 12,000 worshippers 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 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. The title track was penned by Michael, his wife Debbie and friend Paul Baloche and the album was arranged and produced by Michael. 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 albums, as well as those who are just discovering his music for the first time.

Once again, Michael has lifted us to the throne room to deliver praise. And he still does a great job of it.
Like the previous two, this CD is a recording of a live worship event that Michael led. There are two differences from the previous releases. There are no studio tracks, here. More importantly, Michael wrote about half the song on here. A few originally appeared on his last couple of studio releases, but they fit right in here.
Of the familiar songs, I really am thrilled to get "Mighty to Save" a song I learned this summer. And I can't get enough copies of "Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone)." Michael has arranged the classic hymn "I Surrender All" to switch from English to Spanish, which is kind of cool.
And that's another thing that sets this CD apart. Several friends show up to help with the songs. Caolo Zamorano does the Spanish singing I just discussed. Israel Houghton does a duet on the gospel flavored "Help is on the Way" that he co-wrote. Finally, the African Children's Choir back up Michael on two songs, both with a fun African flavor.
My one complaint is the same one I've had with his other Worship projects. At times, he just takes a few lines and repeats them. If I am paying close attention to the disc, that gets annoying. Fortunately, most of the time I tune it out at that point and come back for the next song.
If you were a fan of Michael's previous worship oriented releases, you'll enjoy having this one in your collection as well.

I don't tend to do product reviews but when this arrived and I put it in the CD player it blew me away. I like Michael W. Smith but this is the best he has ever produced and he has taken worship to another level. These songs will be echoing round local churches for years to come. I love the new arrangement of the traditional 'Amazing Grace' and 'The Enemy Has Been Defeated'.
If you are looking for a worship CD to lift you higher than ever - buy this - you will not be disappointed.

First things first. All reviews are subjective. Second i have just about every album from this talented & inspired man. Amongst many highs are also other projects that have left me disappointed, such is the nature of opinion so we can move on with my review. For me i put it down to 4 stars because its a great worship album, but there are better out there.
As the title says i believe this is smittys best worship inspired project todate. The other worship projects have highs & lows. All have great musicianship as you would expect from one of CCM's most famous seasoned Singer/songwriter. I have always prefferred him writing & singing his own inspirational songs to pop arrangements. From this project i now see a man moving into a worship leader role.
This one builds upon song after song, too often the others are like a smitty concert, which i guess for me is the issue, & songs seem to be about great production but those songs to me are flawed, & the arrangements dont lead you anywhere. Worship has become a comodity to be sold as a product. Worship should always be about Jesus alone. This album oozes the call of Worship, & yes its also entertaining. For me the song choices are good to inspired, a mixture of some new church standards like Mighty to save, many have recorded this song. To more simpler songs of smittys own penmanship which work really well. & older reworked standards like Chris Tomlins version of Amazing Grace which has never sounded better. I Love complex & simple arrangements from piano with and light rythem to full on praise.
If you buy a smitty worship album, by this one. It does feel like a concert in places but it also has grace, praise, Worship & tenderness in bucket loads......

I absolutely love this cd, its not just music to listen to, its pure worship the Lord, and it ministers to my soul in a special way, the more i listen to it the better it gets. Its hard to pick a favourite, but "deep in love with you" is probably mine.

One of MWS'best CDs !
I don't usually like live-cds, because it's just not the same thing to WATCH a live-concert vs LISTENING to a live-concert. But this is a real exception. Read more
