Eddie James knows how to bring the people of God into His presence. The dynamic singer and songwriter and the founder of the renowned Phoenix Mass Choir has been on a roll lately. The artist, who’s known for writing riveting and God-directed praise and worship songs, is also the owner of Fresh Wine Records. His fans have been supporting his releases on the label catapulting him to the national charts.
On the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart, James is charting with three different projects: Freedom Live is at # 24, God is resting at #32 and The Phoenix Mass Choir: Victory is sitting at the #47 spot. The noted songwriter also has other impressive placements. The lead single from his recent release, God, “I Need You”, has been catching the attention of radio with the song placing at #65 on the BDS charts and #58 on the Mediabase charts. Also, the new single, “The Battle”, from The Phoenix Mass Choir: Victory is at the #115 spot on the BDS chart and at #114 on the Mediabase chart.
New stations are adding the songs weekly and James is excited at the response the singles are receiving. “The Battle”, a traditional and gut-wrenching choir track, does not feature James, but instead includes the lead vocal talents of Kerry Vaughn, Celia King and Bridgette Kern. “I Need You”, a soft and emotive love song to God, is breathtaking. Fans of the artist should look out for the upcoming single from God entitled, “I Am”.
In addition to his success at radio, Eddie James will be making an appearance as the musical guest on the Trinity Broadcast Network. Hosted by comedian John Gray, the Praise The Lord episode will be airing on Tuesday, October 11, 2011, and will feature James singing his most popular songs; please check local listings for air times. In addition, Eddie James is also prepping for a Christmas release. The first holiday project from the artist will contain two lead singles, “He Is Here” and “Jesus Saves”, which will be serviced to radio in late October by Edmondson Communications, Inc. More information about James’ upcoming release is to be announced.
Eddie James’ ministry is currently headquartered in Hamilton, AL, where he also operates DreamLife. He’s been seeing young people come to the Lord in record numbers. “I see the youth crying out for a real experience with the Living God,” says James. “We are finding God raising up a generation that is truly hungry for the presence of God. He is visiting this generation in a very profound way, and impacting young and seasoned saints in a life changing way. We are seeing young people being set free and crying out to God for our nation, their schools, communities and families. It is exciting to be part of such a move.” For more information about Eddie James, log on to www.ejworship.org.
