Elevation Collective's brand new album Evidence debuts at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Gospel Albums chart this week. Elevation Collective is the first gospel music project from Elevation Worship, the music ministry based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and led by Pastor Steven Furtick.
The eight-song Evidence features such core gospel artists as Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Israel Houghton, Tye Tribbett, Kierra Sheard, Travis Greene and others.
"I'm excited because I dig these songs," says producer Israel Houghton. "I've seen over the last couple of Elevation [Worship] records, certain songs really resonating with churches worldwide - but certainly with multicultural churches - which I get excited about... so to be able to reimagine those songs has been exciting."
"We've seen the impact our songs have made beyond the walls of our church," says Chris Brown of Elevation Worship. "We've seen them reach people in different churches, led in different styles and arrangements, and it's inspired us to partner with some amazing artists to discover new expressions of some of our favorite songs."
