| Newly Formed Record Label Waterfront Records Says "CHILLOUT" With Its March 9 Release Industry Veteran Hugh Robertson’s newly formed record label, Waterfront Records, announces its March 9 release of the Chillout series including Chillout… A Time To Worship and Chillout… The Worship Xperience. This series combines popular hits and worship songs and transforms them into new relaxing arrangements.
Designed to help facilitate Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God…” Chillout transforms popular songs made famous by Mercy Me, dc talk, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and others, with such respective hits as “I Can Only Imagine,” “Jesus Freak,” “Long and Winding Road” and “Serve Somebody.” The new arrangements are designed to help the consumer find some quiet and calm to worship and chillout.
Founder of Waterfront Records, a division of Waterfront Entertainment, Hugh Robertson, says, “These days, it's not enough to just throw 10-12 songs out with one or two hits. There needs to be a compelling reason for a consumer to purchase a whole album of songs: such as an artist with an established consumer base and well-developed brand or an album with multiple hit songs. Our first frontline project is the Chillout series which combines hit songs and new worship songs with a scriptural theme built around Psalm 46:10.”
“The Chillout recordings directly target music consumers ages 16-28 who identify with the songs on the albums due to their popularity and exposure on the radio and in their church groups,” continues Robertson. “They can hum along to these familiar songs while focusing their full attention on worship.”
“Chillout is a term that has been used for a while now as backdrop music for hanging out with friends or just cooking dinner,” adds Andy and Wendy Green, one of the Chillout producer teams, “but we felt that personally we wanted more from that music, something that would inspire us to worship. It's sometimes difficult in our busy world to stop, slow down and spend time with God, just one on one. These albums came out of that longing to be in God's presence and to soak in his love. We hope that through them you will find a jumping off point for drawing closer to Him and knowing Him better.”
