Louder Than The Music

Former Delirious band members Martin Smith and Stu G are among 18 artists featured on a new album from Fuel Music titled 'Reverence: An Offering', released on 5th August 2014.

Fuel Music, one of the leading independent distributors of Christian music, has gathered together 19 songs, including 17 never-before-released tracks, for the album. This newly created brand focusing on song/artist discovery and inspired by Hebrews 12:28 features recordings by such lauded artists as Martin Smith, Remedy Drive, One Sonic Society, Kathryn Scott, Dreamseed (Brenton Brown), Chris McClarney with Stu G, Kristene DiMarco, Anthony Skinner, Bryan and Katie Torwalt, Jenny Simmons, Abandon, Lara Landon and more.

In this inaugural collection are worship anthems that range from the powerful, lush instrumentation of 'Shores' by Jesus Culture Music's Bryan and Katie Torwalt to the pop/rock bounce of 'Commodity' by Remedy Drive and the sparse, intimate offering 'Obsession' from Martin Smith. The album also previews songs from albums releasing later this year, including 'Born Of God' from Jesus Culture Music's Justin Jarvis and 'There Is Grace' from independent artist Lara Landon.

Martin Smith's solo track 'Song of Solomon' is also include, whilst former band-mate Stu G is featured alongside Chris McClarney on 'Running After You', and with his band One Sonic Society on 'Yahweh'.

"This is an amazing collective of worship songs that honor the God of heaven, and from artists that have given voice to a multitude of worshippers in churches around the globe," says Tony Patoto, Fuel Music founder and president, and one time manager of Delirious.

"One of the goals of this entire project is discovery, with the artists on the project committed to sharing REVERENCE with their collective contacts via social media, significantly bolstering the opportunity for connections to be made between those that appreciate worship music and these artists and songs that may never be discovered otherwise. The sum of all of these efforts is much greater than the efforts of just one!"
