Integrity Music, Maranatha! & INO Partner Launch iWorship Brand

MOBILE, Alabama (July 10, 2002) - - Integrity Music announced today that it has formed a new partnership with Maranatha!, INO, M2.0, Vertical Music and Hosanna! Music for the development of a new praise and worship brand called iWorship.

On the heels of Integrity’s outstanding success with the WoW Worship and Songs 4 Worship series, which together have sold over 7.5 million units (15 million discs), iWorship is being positioned as “the next dimension in worship music” with products including CDs, DVDs, songbooks and CD tracks.

With the goal of offering a “total worship experience,” the iWorship product line will feature a series of double CDs each containing 33 of the most popular contemporary and emerging worship songs in the world today according to SoundScan and CCLI. (Christian Copyright Licensing Inc., tracks the songs used in churches around the world including over 120,000 churches in North America alone.)

The iWorship double CDs, which are priced at $19.98 (SLP), include powerful worship classics such as “Shout To The Lord” and “Lord I Lift Your Name On High” with new versions of modern worship anthems like Brian Doerksen’s “Come Now Is The Time To Worship.”

In addition, the iWorship collection features a line of specially created DVDs designed to enhance the worshiper’s experience through breathtaking visuals married to artistically displayed lyrics. The DVDs also contain click track and instrumental track options for vocalists, musicians and worship leaders. Each DVD can be used in large, corporate worship settings and in small group settings such as home cell groups, youth groups, etc. The DVDs are also ideal for personal times of worship, allowing the user to disengage the “lyrics option” from the visuals when desired.

Integrity’s VP of Song Development, Craig Dunnagan, formerly of Worship Together, has developed a series of CD worship accompaniment tracks to complement the iWorship audio CDs. Each track features one song with three different key options.
