Jeremy Horn Releases Sound of the Broken on March 6th

Jeremy Horn to Release Ardent Records/Fair Trade Services Debut,
Sound of The Broken, on March 6
“Surrender” from Memphis-based Worship Leader Impacting Radio Now

Nashville, Tenn. Feb. 2, 2012…  The Ardent Records, Fair Trade Services debut of Memphis worship leader Jeremy Horn will hit stores on March 6. Horn’s first collection of music is titled Sound of the Broken, and features the current radio single “Surrender.”

A Memphis native and worship leader, Horn truly understands the beauty and power of worship. Co-produced by Horn with the help of James Joseph (Todd Agnew) and Curry Weber (Todd Agnew, Joy Whitlock), this 10-song album reminds us that God’s spirit truly rests inside of broken people. From the opening track and title cut, “Sound of the Broken,” which uses Acts 3 as its basis, to the closing track, “This Reflection,” which reminds us of God’s grace, Horn uses his worship talents to truly put the album’s message into perspective.

Already hitting the airwaves, lead radio single “Surrender” speaks to those who have tried to find fulfillment in areas of their life other than God, whether it be their marriage, kids, or career. “When we bring Christ into our life, He brings a new creation and a new redemption that brings us hope and peace; there’s something beautiful about surrendering our life to that,” explains Horn.

Horn’s passion for worship music and his desire to use it as a tool of service to God has resulted in his role as the worship leader of Christ the Rock Church, but his ministry expands even further. As part of his commitment to making music that can serve the church, Horn posts “How to Play” videos for worship leaders, including one with instructions for “Surrender,” the single from Sound of the Broken.

“Worship can mean living your life for the glory of Christ, living your life to share Him with others,” Horn says. “Worship can be the outpouring of our hearts in singing and proclaiming who God is to ourselves and to others. It’s making Jesus bigger on Earth and in our lives.”

Todd Agnew – The One You Want – Story Behind the Song Video

Todd Agnew shares the story behind “The One You Want” – a song co-written by Todd and Jason Ingram about Christ’s deep, unconditional love for us despite our feelings of unworthiness.  You can hear the song in its entirety on Todd’s new album How To Be Loved – available everywhere March 6th!

 

Todd Agnew Debuts “How To Be Loved” on March 6th

Nashville, Tenn. Jan. 27, 2012… Todd Agnew, the worship leader, musician and songwriter behind hits like “Grace Like Rain” and “My Jesus,” is unveiling his newest collection of music, How to be Loved, on March 6. In chronicling a new understanding of receiving God’s love, Todd Agnew’s powerful new album with Ardent Records and Fair Trade Services is a revelation of sorts.

 

Much of this understanding started when Agnew bought his first house, moved back to Texas and became husband, and stepfather all in the course of a weekend. “I came in wanting to do stuff for them, to take care of them,” Agnew recalls, “and my wife was asking me if I could receive from them, be loved by them. I really had to say, ‘I have no idea what you’re taking about.’ Then I finally translated that, and realized, ‘Oh, God, I see what You’re doing! I have to learn to receive that same love from You.’”

 

Agnew is well-known for his voice, and the gravitas it brings to his music. This time around, though, he brings a remarkable vibrancy born from his desire to collaborate with the likes of renowned producer Paul Ebersold (Third Day, 3 Doors Down) and fellow songwriters Andrew Osenga (Chris Tomlin, Andrew Peterson) and Jason Ingram (Brandon Heath, MercyMe) among others. “I think we have a much more cohesive record than I’ve done in a long time,” remarks Agnew. “My other records are kind of all over the map musically. I love music, all kinds of music, so I tend to just switch gears every 4½ minutes.”

 

How to be Loved is heralded by the radio single “God Undefeatable” impacting AC/INSPO now. The song was originally written by a gifted trio of two worship leaders and a pastor as an Easter song for Agnew’s church in Austin, Texas. “‘Undefeatable’ isn’t really even a word,” Agnew explains. “It isn’t a word because it’s never needed to be a word. Every empire, every dynasty, they all eventually lost. They faded. They were defeated. But God, His power, His might does not wane. It goes back to the idea we started with. God is the main player in the story. It’s not me fighting the battle, it’s Him.” To see the story behind the song, click here.
