Delirious DVD Press Release

As Delirious? enter their final year together, it is clear that some things have changed very little during their fifteen year stint as one of the most intriguing and innovative Christian bands around. The release of ‘My Soul Sings’ – one of their last ever new projects to be released – arcs back to the days without roadies or fancy suits; the days of the rawest of worship and the loudest of crowds.

A decade and a half ago those gigs were played behind a backdrop of a hundred different sports halls and community centres. And now with the release of ‘My Soul Sings’, suddenly it’s like we’re back at the front of a faceless breezeblock building, all sweat and expectancy and abandonment. Yet there’s one essential difference; ‘My Soul Sings’ was filmed and recorded in front of 12,000 Colombian Christians; a pulsing sea of passionate believers who have soul and aren’t afraid to let it sing out into the night sky.

The tracks included do a perfect job of narrating the journey that Delirious? have been on over the years. ‘Deeper’, ‘History Maker’ and ‘Bliss’ represent the optimism of the early days, while ‘God’s Romance’, ‘Rain Down’ and ‘Majesty’ draw on the band’s middle phase that saw them in search of the very heart of God. ‘Kingdom of Comfort’, ‘Break The Silence’ and ‘My Soul Sings’ add colours from the recent albums; bold splashes of tone and passion that catch everyone up in the praise.

As live DVDs go, this one is up there with the best; a unique view of the beauty, power and chaos that gets unleashed at a Delirious? gig.
CD Tracklisting: Rain Down, God Is Smiling, God’s Romance,Hallelujah,Bliss, Love Will Find A Way, All God's Children, History Maker, Break The Silence, Deeper, Majesty, Kingdom Of Comfort, Stare The Monster Down, My Soul Sing

Stuart Pendred On Radio 5

Stuart Pendred will be appearing live on the Eamon Holmes show this Saturday morning (January 10th). He’ll be talking about Benedizioni – his debut solo album; one of the best received hybrid releases of last year. Between 10.30am and 11am Stuart will be telling Eamon about why it is that people seem to love Benedizioni’s fusion of church and classics so much. He’ll be singing the show out too, bringing his usual skills and style to the job.

Stuart’s reasons for recording the album were clear. ‘It has always been a desire of mine to record an album of songs that reflected my personal faith and the way it has shaped my journey through life. The songs on this album, beautifully written by others, have greatly impacted me on that journey. They have encouraged me, challenged me, comforted me, and at various times and in different ways ushered me into the presence of my God – a place of humility, peace, ecstasy, awe, wonder, love and praise.’

Having performed alongside Sting, Lionel Ritchie, Beyonce, Barbara Streisand and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, at the Royal Albert Hall, all over the West End, Twickenham and Stamford Bridge, Stuart’s no stranger to big audiences and decent exposure.
Saturday’s show will be great opportunity to help spread the buzz about this unique project.
