UNCHANGING FAITH, UNSTOPPABLE PRAISE: THE BROOKLYN TABERNACLE CHOIR’S TRIUMPHANT RETURN
The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, a name synonymous with transcendent worship and soul-stirring anthems, is poised to captivate hearts once again with their highly anticipated new release, I Will Not Be Moved: Live with The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. Arriving on February 28, this majestic live recording embodies a resounding declaration of faith, anchored by the masterful production of Carol Cymbala and J. Daniel Smith. This sophomore StowTown Worship offering not only showcases the legendary choir’s boundless energy but also welcomes a stellar lineup of guest artists, including Dove Award winner Babbie Mason, celebrated singer/songwriter Stephen McWhirter, Elevation’s Brad Hudson, and the incomparable TaRanda Greene.
A rich tapestry of both fresh originals and beloved worship classics, I Will Not Be Moved serves as a beacon of unwavering faith. Cymbala’s three original compositions reaffirm the choir’s signature sound, interwoven with seven powerful worship selections penned by industry luminaries like Bryan Fowler, Joel Houston, Andrew Ripp, and Ethan Hulse. Recorded live at the historic Brooklyn Tabernacle, this project radiates an electrifying yet reverent atmosphere. Standout moments include the buoyant title track featuring Brad Hudson, the soul-stirring “I Thank You Jesus” led by Babbie Mason, and the exuberant praise anthem “You Keep On Blessing Me,” featuring the unmistakable voice of Joanne Brown.
Stephen McWhirter’s heartfelt testimony underscores the gravity of this release. Reflecting on his collaboration with the choir, McWhirter likens the experience to being “strapped to a Holy Spirit freight train,” capturing the sheer power of worship in motion. Jim Cymbala, the longtime pastor of The Brooklyn Tabernacle, echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the album’s central theme: an unshakable commitment to faith. “No matter what happens, their faith will not be moved,” he asserts, reinforcing the choir’s unwavering mission.
The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir’s enduring influence extends beyond their legendary discography. Their latest endeavor follows the resounding success of A Night of Worship with The Brooklyn Tabernacle, which garnered two 2023 Dove Awards, further cementing their place as titans of worship music. Landon Beene, president of StowTown Records/StowTown Worship, lauds this latest masterpiece as both a fresh revelation and a nostalgic embrace, proving once again that the choir’s impact is as timeless as their message. With I Will Not Be Moved, The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir delivers an unforgettable, soul-refreshing experience—one destined to echo through the halls of faith for generations to come.
