One of the premier songwriters of today, Chris Tomlin, known for such worldwide-sung anthems as "Forever," "We Fall Down," "The Wonderful Cross," "Famous One" and more, releases his highly-anticipated sixsteps/Sparrow Records recording, Arriving, this week amidst widespread critical acclaim:

"For more than ten years, the world has been blessed by the musical contributions of prolific worship songwriters like Darlene Zschech and Matt Redman. Perhaps it's time to start mentioning Chris Tomlin in the same breath…these songs are generally easy to sing, and just as important, you'll want to sing them…how many of today's worship writers are able to write songs that instantly draw congregations in with immediately singable and unforgettable melodies? Tomlin's clearly got a gift for this…It all adds up to an album that is arguably Tomlin's best—though once the church becomes better acquainted with the songs on Arriving, there won't be room for debate." – ChristianityToday.com 4.5 star review. Full review can be found at http://www.christianitytoday.com/mus.../arriving.html

"When all is said and done, this release should solidify his standing as one of the premier songwriters in the modern church's praise-and-worship movement. In many ways Tomlin is much like the hymn writers of the late 19th and early 20th century, capturing the liturgical and stylistic relevance of a new Christian generation of churchgoers…Arriving will no doubt yield several songs that will be played countless times in contemporary churches worldwide…" – Amazon.com

"Tomlin's third album doesn't flirt with spiritual superficiality or hint at lackadaisical song-writing, but simply comes across as a worship album that was created for just that purpose." - RELEVANT Magazine (Nov.)

Tomlin's Biggest Radio Hit Ever is Indescribable…

"Indescribable" is the first radio single from Arriving, which is already Top 5 and climbing on the CRW and PDAdvisor AC charts, as well as Top 10 and climbing on the R & R and Billboard AC charts.

"It is the kind of song with the anthemic appeal of Darlene Zschech's 'Shout to the Lord' or Tim Hughes' 'Here I Am to Worship.' In other words, expect to hear it for some time to come." – CCM Magazine (Oct.)

"'Indescribable' is the first radio single, a terrific anthem about God's vast power and glory that ranks with 'God of Wonders' and 'Famous One.'" – ChristianityToday.com

"…Arriving, kicks off with the instant worship-favorite 'Indescribable.'" - RELEVANT Magazine (Nov.)

"There have only been a few occasions when I'm captivated by a song on first listen. I've been a fan of Chris Tomlin for a long time but "Indescribable" stopped me in my tracks the first time I heard it. I believe there's something really special about this song and this album. Chris' new music gets me even more excited about our upcoming tour together with Casting Crowns. I can't wait to be a part of the worship experience with Chris night after night." – Steven Curtis Chapman
