Kari Jobe CD to be available here!

Posted by admin on March 12, 2009

WOOT! Well, I’m excited!

New Integrity Music/Gateway Create artist Kari Jobe will have her debut CD available locally via House of Praise! Yea!

Kari’s self-titled debut CD sold more than 11,552 units in its first week of sales, according to Nielsen SoundScan, making her CD the highest Christian and gospel music debut by a new artist since Mandisa’s first CD release in 2007. (Hello, HoP, why not make Mandisa available here too?)

The debut CD is earning its share of critical success alongside record sales.  Says CCMMagazine.com, “With the powerhouse nuances of Natalie Grant and the singer/songwriter vulnerability of Mindy Smith, new Integrity worship artist Kari Jobe is more than a fresh face and pretty voice…With producer Ed Cash’s (Chris Tomlin, Bethany Dillon) competent hands at the creative controls, Jobe’s self-titled debut seeks to establish her as more than just a worship leader, but also as a fully-equipped artist.”

“I’m Singing,” the first single from Kari Jobe, is also making its way across the US on Christian radio.  Written by Jobe, Cash and Tomlin, “I’m Singing” is now “new and active on the AC chart.”

Locally, Jobe’s probably best known for “Revelation Song,” which she recorded with Christ For The Nations Institute.

Yay, House of Praise! You guys rock!
