Featuring some of my favourite songs from Israel of all time, this album certainly was a surprise in August- creating such a dynamic worship atmosphere as I soak in God’s presence". As I reflect upon how God holds all things together, I am amazed by creation, and through the epic quest of Jesus to earth, dying and raising to life that I am able to be confident as I walk along with Christ through everyday life. Indie Vision Music's Jonathan Andre said that " Jesus at the Center has about every genre covered from gospel to rap, hip-hop, dance as well as some heartfelt melodies of hopefulness.
Musically, lyrically, vocally, production-wise, Jesus at the Centre is probably the closest to a worship experience in Heaven as I’ve ever experienced to date." This is because Deen believes it "chock-full of tremendous praise songs" in which "they take their praise to a whole new level." Ganns DEEN's Ganns Deen said that it "is no ordinary project." Furthermore, Deen wrote that " Jesus at the Centre is a topnotch worship album that is arguably the best of the group’s long and storied career.
For over 10 years now Israel and the New Breed band have brought their gospel-based energy and superb musicianship to bear on the worship experience and this album is an excellent return to the CD racks." The congregation participation adds a very genuine feel to the recording. Recorded over three nights in Houghton's home town of Houston, Texas in early 2012, the two CDs comprise 21 tracks and provide something over two hours and 20 minutes of music which is relentlessly energetic and at the same time uncompromisingly worshipful. Fans of the juggernaut and his crew will rediscover every reason why they love this unique brand of worship those of you who have been living under a rock can finally discover what happens when praise becomes an art form."Ĭross Rhythms' Doug Holland said that "Israel Houghton And New Breed return with their first live recording in five years, a typically fast-paced and colourful gospel/funk/jazz/pop mix that delights, inspires and uplifts in equal measure and at virtually every turn. After a considerable wait, this two-disc beauty is worth every penny. It’s almost too good to be true in pushing the boundaries, have the group forfeited on the Sunday morning market, the bread and butter of worship music? How will these songs translate to churches worldwide? Whilst the album sounds spectacular, it will be very hard for the average worship group to emulate." In addition, Akinola wrote that "Undoubtedly, Jesus at the Centre is a triumph, a magnificent return for Israel & New Breed. The Christian Manifesto's Lydia Akinola said that her "only quibble with Jesus at the Centre is the same problem I’ve always had with New Breed projects.
Stylistically, the double disc set is loaded with soul, pop, and modern worship, alternating between praise romps and chilling ballads that are sure to stir the soul." this release has it all." ĬCM Magazine's Andy Argyrakis said that "For its first live album in five years, Israel & New Breed picks up right where it left off with a rousing batch of Christ-centered songwriting. Compelling songs, larger-than-life passion, awe-inspiring musicianship.
