God Speaking, the highly anticipated sophomore solo recording from singer/songwriter Ronnie Freeman, bows today on White Apron Entertainment/KOCH Records. The project will simultaneously release in Canada, Australia and New Zealand via Go Global Entertainment.
God Speaking includes the hit title track, which was #8 on CRW’s Year End 2007 Top 100 Inspirational chart. The song remained in the Top 5 on national Inspirational radio charts for multiple weeks last year.
Comprised of 11 selections written or co-written by Freeman,
God Speaking was produced by Nathan Nockels (Passion, Chris Tomlin, Watermark), with the exception of the title cut, which was produced by Mark Hammond (Nichole Nordeman, Josh Groban). The project also features a special appearance by Christy Nockels (formerly of Watermark) on the Freeman-penned “My Inheritance,” which has been released to Christian AC and Inspirational radio.
Christian Retailing calls
God Speaking “…a solid collection of piano-driven pop-rock songs that even have an R&B influence. …His voice is strong, sounding at times soulful, like R&B crooner Robin Thicke, and at other times gritty like Marc Cohn…”
A highly sought-after songwriter, Freeman’s songs have been recorded by Avalon, Mandisa, Michael English and Daniel Kirkley, among others. He currently serves as an artist-in-residence at Nashville’s Fellowship Bible Church and is actively involved with JH Ranch in northern California, a camp that ministers to youth, families and singles each summer. Freeman began leading worship at JH Ranch in 1999.
In addition, his renditions of “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” and “Nothing But The Blood of Jesus” are featured on the Grammy Award-nominated Sparrow recording, I’ll Fly Away: Country Hymns & Songs of Faith. The project also includes contributions from Vince Gill, Dolly Parton and Marty Stuart, among others, and is nominated in the "Best Southern, Country or Bluegrass Gospel Album" category.
