Kari Jobe To Begin Work On Second Studio Album
Singer/songwriter Kari Jobe will return to the studio in May to record the follow up to her self-titled debut album. As with her first album, released in 2009, Kari's second album will be produced by Ed Cash (Chris Tomlin, David Crowder Band) and is expected to be released towards the end of 2011.
Kari recently entered into an exclusive, long-term recorded music, marketing and distribution agreement with EMI CMG's Sparrow Records label. Effective immediately, Sparrow Records will represent the two-time Dove Award winning, Gateway Church (Southlake, Texas) worship leader into worldwide markets.
"I'm honored and feel very blessed to now be part of the EMI family," says Jobe. "The last few years of my ministry has grown and reached farther than I ever dreamed! I'm so excited to see what the Lord has for me next."
Kari's debut album featured songs cowritten with Chris Tomlin, Paul Baloche, Mia Fieldes, Ed Cash and Klaus Kuehn. The success of the album led to a New Artist of The Year Dove Award nomination and a featured performance during the 2010 Dove Awards ceremony. Taking home two Doves from the ceremony, Jobe was later invited by Saddleback Church pastor and author Rick Warren to lead worship during Easter weekend services, which drew more than 45,000 to Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California.
