Louder Than The Music

The new album from Bethel Music, 'The Loft Sessions' is released today, 23rd January 2012, as a special CD/DVD combo. The all-new full-length album was recorded live in a refurbished rustic loft where the Bethel Music team gathered for several nights of worship that set the stage for this ground-breaking recording.

"The Loft Sessions explores new territory for Bethel Music, merging an array of acoustic creativity with the modern melodies of original songs by Brian and Jenn Johnson, Jeremy Riddle and emerging artists Steffany Frizzell, Hunter Thompson and Matt Stinton" says Kingsway.

"Incorporating several different musical styles, we wanted to create a new sound, something that shakes the stereotypes of what people might think Bethel Music is," says Brian Johnson. "The strength of what we accomplished is in the community of artists that came together."

"It was like stumbling upon a new way to create or write songs," says Jeremy Riddle. "I'm used to refining songs before going into the production of a record. The writing, refining process for this album all happened during the production, which is kind of unusual, but it worked beautifully!"
