MICHAEL W. SMITH RELEASES A NEW HALLELUJAH � THE LIVE WORSHIP DVD MAR. 17


(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) January 26, 2008 � On the heels of an incredibly successful 2008, including having one of the top-selling and most acclaimed projects of the year and the announcement of his upcoming induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame (2/2/09), Michael W. Smith releases A New Hallelujah � The Live Worship DVD on March 17.

This new DVD is the video companion to Smith�s newest record, and third worship album, A New Hallelujah. Recorded live in Houston last summer before 12,000 people, a 250-voice choir and several special guests including the African Children�s Choir and 2008 GRAMMY Award-winner, Israel Houghton, this DVD captures the powerful experience of the evening�s worship in high-definition. The 90-minute long project features all 13 songs from A New Hallelujah (10/28/08), plus four new tracks and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage.

Steve Gilreath, the DVD�s director, notes, �This project truly makes you feel like you were in the room that night, and the HD quality only adds to the experience. It�s amazing how you can feel the room ebb and flow as the evening progresses. This really is more of an �experience� project than a standard DVD.�

Smith�s first worship album, simply titled Worship, released on September 11, 2001, and has sold more than a 1.5 million copies. Its follow up Worship Again released September 19, 2002, and is nearing the 800,000 mark.
