Louder Than The Music

The first ever live album from Worship Central, 'Spirit Break Out' is due for worldwide release on 12th September 2011. Kingsway describe the album as "Full of energy and experience... 'Spirit Break Out' is the perfect summation of a profoundly held belief that we need to allow God more freedom and power within our worship."

Tim Hughes, songwriter, worship leader and co-founder of Worship Central says in a forthcoming interview with Mission Worship magazine: "We've never had better quality songs to choose from. There are amazing songs on amazing themes coming out of Hillsong, Passion, Soul Survivor and - I guess - Worship Central too. But there's a danger here: that we rely on those songs to create the amazing encounters in worship. If we let the song become the king, then worship becomes more about what we can create and less about our response to God's initiating love and glory. We always need to be looking to be Spirit led in our worship. The Spirit gives life, releases freedom and joy, puts a new song on our lips and reveals the beauty and majesty of Christ."

The 14 track album, which features Tim Hughes, Ben Cantelon, Al Gordon, Nikki Fletcher and Luke Hellebronth, was recorded live at London's HMV Forum in March this year in front of 2000 worshippers. Established songs like Tim Hughes' 'Counting On Your Name' and 'Wake Up' as well as Ben Cantelon's 'Saviour Of The World' are found on the album, along with a great selection of new ones. From the opening moments of 'Spirit Of The Living God' - rising up, phoenix-like with a call for the Holy Spirit to take control - through to the closing moments of 'Undivided Love' and 'All Glory', the album is urgent, focused and engaging.

"The title track feels like a revival song: it's a heart cry to see God smashing out of the box, turning us upside down, inside out and leading us into more of His presence and glory", continues Tim. "Our heart at Worship Central is that these songs and this album will fire people up and inspire them in their worship and will lead people into a deeper relationship with Christ."

Worship Central previously released their first studio album, 'Lifting High' in 2009 and have just released their first ever mandarin album, 'Counting On Your Name', featuring a collection of 13 songs all sung in mandarin from worship leaders across Asia.
