Artist: Shelly E. Johnson

Album: Measureless

Label: LifeWay Songs

LifeWay Worship Resources is incredibly proud to celebrate the brand new EP release, Measureless, from singer/songwriter, Shelly E. Johnson! 

For more than five years, Shelly has been an integral member of the LifeWay Songs team of exceptional songwriters. During this tenure, many of her new songs have appeared on artist and compilation albums from Curb Records, Maranatha Music, and LifeWay Songs. Noteworthy names, such as Natalie Grant, Steve Green, Keith Getty, Beth Moore, and Andy Stanley, have platformed Shelly’s songs and/or artistry. Additionally, her songs have been published by dozens of worship chart and choral music publishers.

After such a measure of great momentum, it is timely and fitting that Shelly offers the next generation recording of her singing and songwriting. Measureless, produced by Atlanta-based Sean Hill, is a simply stunning collective of 5 brand new songs. The music is bold and on the leading edge of today’s worship music scene. Big guitars, thunderous drums, glittering keyboards, and Shelly’s soaring vocals provide for a truly remarkable and powerful listening experience!

Hear Shelly talk about what she’s been doing, the new album, and what’s coming up…

Modernistic, impactful, and heartfelt, this EP delivers a gathering of new songs that churches everywhere will be singing very soon! Loved Me First is a brilliant adaptation of the cherished hymn, The Love of God and is destined to become a congregational favorite. Jesus the Anthem is my personal favorite on the release and is a heart-cry for today’s worshipping generation worldwide. From Heaven’s Glory has become a fast-fav of the LifeWay Songs team and church leaders where Shelly has been leading this song, as of late. Measureless will leave you undone and is a powerful expression of adoration before the throne of God. One and Only God is a fresh reminder that our Lord is the ultimate Ruler of all.

When it comes to worship, the Church seems to be searching for a new voice these days. I think Shelly may have captured and delivered such a voice with this must-have new release. Pick up your copy today at iTunes! Or get the charts and more at LifeWayWorship.com.
