The free track for June is an African style track called Mimina by Grand Rapids worship leader and song writer Tausi Zaina.
Tausi’s song, Mimina, has become a favourite at Kentwood Community Church, where she is a worship leader. Kentwood Community is home to a multicultural congregation from all over the world, and Mimina’s African style ministers across cultural boundaries.
Mimina translates as ‘sprinkle’, and ‘shukisha’ means ‘pour out’. Baba is an affectionate term for ‘Father” in Swahili. The song’s catchy chorus just means “Father, sprinkle Your presence, pour down Your blessings”.
The song comes in Transition Track formatting for Worship Backing Band’s Mac/PC or iPad Transition MultiTrack Player. MultiTracks are the simplest and least expensive solution to get a full band sound from your worship team, even if you’ve only got a couple of musicians.
Below are our best selling MultiTracks for the last 12 months.
It is interesting to see how many of these are relatively old favourites that appear in our best seller lists year after year. It perhaps reflects the slightly smaller church demographic of our typical customer.

The free track for February is The Glory and comes with a free simple chord chart. EQ Worship is a ministry of Calvary Chapel Tri-Cities. This track is a single from their recent album, My King is Coming and comes with a simple chord chart.
There’s a lovely electric guitar line and Cassidy Filbrun’s vocals are a real stand out feature. So many producers of MultiTracks don’t include vocals – we think they are so important especially for smaller churches who don’t have many musicians or whose singers struggle to come in at the right place without a lead. We particularly like the way the song builds and brings in a male harmony line towards the end.
EQ Worship draws on the strong musical talents of Brandon Bee and Zach Lamberson, who are worship leaders from Washington State in the USA and who serve a variety of ministries both locally and around the world. They freely give of their various resources to help churches worldwide.
The song comes with the original WAV files for use in a DAW such as Ableton, and Transition Tracks for Worship Backing Band’s Mac/PC or iPad Transition MultiTrack Player. MultiTracks are the simplest and least expensive solution to get a full band sound from your worship team, even if you’ve only got a couple of musicians.
Our free track this month is from a brand new batch of backing tracks from Nathan Drake at Reawaken Hymns.
Hallelujah is based on The Messiah Chorus and is taken from the album The Soul Felt Its Worth which is actually a Christmas album containing 25 carols which we now have available in our repertoire. The video below contains a short audio sample of each so you can hear the general quality and contemporary approach. The song melody and lyrics are unchanged from the traditional carols but the music is updated with a modern worship band sound.
On the website you can select any song and listen to a 30 second audio sample.

Free Split Track backing track too
Nathan has also allowed us to release the Split Track free-of-charge this month as well as the MultiTrack. If you’ve not seen our Split Tracks before this is a good opportunity to download one and see what you think of the format. Split track backing tracks have on-screen words and “split track” vocals.
Both versions come with a free simple chord chart.
Lyrically our free track this month has something of a Christmas feel with it’s focus on the names of Jesus so good to introduce in the run up to the Christmas season.

Not all churches have a full complement of musicians for their Christmas services but still want a full band sound.
MultiTracks and Split Track backing tracks are a great option for musical accompaniment for contemporary sounding carols. And, if you do have some musicians, they can play along with our MultiTracks with the backing track simply filling in for missing instruments.

A huge selection of Christmas carol backing tracks
We have a huge selection of carols and Christmas songs from classics like O Come All Ye Faithful, to contemporary worship songs such as Paul Baloche’s Christmas Offering to songs Mary, Did You Know and My Grown-Up Christmas List.
You can see the full list here. It’s in alphabetical order and you can click to select MultiTrack, Split Track or Chord Chart and then Add to Basket.
How do the Christmas Carols sound?

What format of backing track do you need?
MultiTracks are the simplest and least expensive solution to get a full band sound from your worship team, even if you’ve only got a couple of musicians. You’ll need a copy of the Worship Backing Band MultiTrack Player which is easy-to-use and has features such as repeating song sections, and changing key and tempo – just like a live band.
Split Tracksare simple-to-use, low cost MP4 video backing tracks. They are ideally suited for smaller churches without musicians. A great alternative to MultiTracks for churches on a budget that want simple, quality backing tracks. Split Tracks feature on-screen words that change in time with the music. You can choose to have no vocals (for karaoke-style worship) or have full vocals and backing vocals in the mix.
Christmas carol chord charts
One other benefit of using Worship Backing Band backing tracks is that our arrangements are easy to play for musicians that are perhaps not classically trained. Guitar chords in particular are notoriously difficult to play in traditional choral arrangements. Our arrangements and the accompanying chord chartsare simplified and you’ll not find yourself having to change chord every other note.
Save money when you buy in bulk
Remember that if you are purchasing several tracks it can save you money to purchase a credits pack which you can then redeem going forwards track by track.
