NORTH GARDEN, Va. – Vertical Praise, an up and coming talent in Southern Gospel, recently completed recording vocals for their brand new album.

The group recorded vocals at Sunset Blvd. Studios in Franklin, Tennessee. The new recording is being produced by Donna Beauvais for Vertical Sky Productions.

The as-of-yet-untitled album features songs written by some of Gospel music’s most prolific writers including Chris Binion, Rebecca J. Peck, Gerald Crabb, Sheri LaFontaine, Twila LaBar, Marty Funderburk, Daryl K. Williams, and many more.

Tony Hensley of Vertical Praise said, “This is going to be an awesome project, and we are expecting God to bless many people around the country with the message of grace, faith & hope in these songs. It is truly amazing how God put this project together from start to finish.”

The new project will be available later this year. The debut single from the project will be announced at a later time.

Vertical Praise’s current single continues to make a strong impact at Southern Gospel radio. The current song, “Never Count the Ways”, is charting on several nationally recognized charts. The song charted for several weeks on the SoGospelNews.com Top 40 Weekly Chart and debuted at #86 on the August 2008 issue of the Gospel Music News Top 100.

Holly Carden of Vertical Praise said, “We absolutely love ‘Never Count the Ways’ and couldn’t be more happy with how it has done on radio for us.”

The song was sent to radio with Jeff O’Neil’s Heritage Communications.
