Four new backing track releases in MultiTrack format all recorded in singable, congregational keys.

The songs are:

• A Thousand Hallelujahs – Brooke Ligertwood, Phil Wickham
  This was written by two of the most famous worship leaders and songwriters in the Christian Music Industry.  It is a great congregationally friendly song and a perfect example of what Brooke Ligertwood is known for from her work with Hillsong.
• In Jesus Name (God of Possible) – Katy Nichole, Jeff Pardo, Ethan Hulse, David Spencer
  Katy Nicole was introduced to the listening world of Contemporary Christian music with this power ballad.  Its message of hope and personal lyrics make it a great choice for special music or thematic services. Based on the original recording, this arrangement is only a half step lower to place it in an easier key for instrumentalists.
• This is Our God – Phil Wickham, Steven Furtick, Brandon Lake, Pat Barrett
   This song is one of Phil Wickham’s newest releases and joins the vast library of praise and worship songs by this artist.  Plus it’s co-written with Brandon Lake. This up tempo arrangement matches the original format, but is in a lower, more congregationally friendly key.
• Now Here – Jake Espy, Tyler Roberts
  Red Rocks Worship is a new worship team on the CCM Charts, and “Now Here” is the song that got them there.  Set in a swing 6/8 meter, this great sing-along praise tune is super catchy – plus it has a strong message about the power of God’s presence.

Full band and acoustic versions of this hugely popular song

God So Loved is a great up-tempo, toe-tapping praise song from the group ‘We The Kingdom’ known for their hit ‘Holy Water’.

The song is hugely popular at the moment featuring high in the CCLI charts that monitor which songs are sung in church each week.

We’ve created two versions of the song – a full band version and an acoustic version.

Listen to audio samples of each in the quick video above.

New release: acoustic arrangement of We The Kingdom’s God So Loved

“God So Loved“ is a great up-tempo, toe-tapping praise song from the group ‘We The Kingdom’ known for their hit ‘Holy Water’.

When we heard their fantastic live/acoustic arrangement we knew this was a track we needed to get into our repertoire quickly. The song is hugely popular at the moment featuring high in the CCLI charts for use in church.

Listen to our audio sample of the song below.

We have emulated We The Kingdom’s own acoustic feel in our Worship Backing Band arrangement in order to leave lots of room for vocal harmonies. Of course if that’s something you struggle with in your church then you can leave our vocal and backing vocal stems in the mix. Worship Backing Band are the only mainstream backing track provider to include vocals – something we know is essential for many small churches with missing musicians.

God So Loved is available in MultiTrack and Split Track formats.

MultiTracks can be played using either our own easy-to-use Transition MultiTrack Player (Mac, PC and iPad) or any DAW such as Ableton, ProTools or GarageBand. Mix, mute or solo any instrument stem, repeat any song section with a single click. They are just like working with a live band and can also be used alongside your musicians to fill out the sound.

Split Tracks are great for smaller churches on a budget. The tracks have fully adjustable vocals and come with on-screen lyrics. Split Tracks are played using any standard MP4 player such as Windows Media Player or VLC.

We’ve partnered up with kids worship duo Awesome Cutlery to bring you 12 new kids backing tracks in our MultiTrack and video Split Track format.
