 You're probably no stranger to Israel Houghton. He's not only a renowned worship leader and multiple GRAMMY, Stellar and Dove Award winner, but he has also performed on mainstream awards shows such as The GRAMMYs and the MTV Music Awards. And now he is making news again, this time for being one of the first-ever Christian artists to have their own artist iPhone applications and one of only a handful of artists in the mainstream such as Akon, Fall Out Boy, David Cook and Pink to have iPhone applications.-
- And this new application comes just in time. Houghton's next CD, The Power of One (Integrity Music/Columbia Records/Provident-Integrity Distribution), is set to release March 24. By downloading this artist's iPhone application users will be able to have direct access to iTunes store links to buy Israel’s The Power of One, as well as purchase Israel’s entire discography.
-
- iPhone users will also be able to listen to 30-second previews of every song spanning Israel’s catalog of six acclaimed albums, read real time updates on Israel’s touring and other news from his Web site, see and share video streams from YouTube, such as song stories, live performances, etc., and flip through pictures of Israel.
- Additionally, users will have access to Israel’s blogs and social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, and the application further allows users to access Israel’s new social justice site, where people are encouraged to be “the power of one” and share their videos about what they have done to create positive change in their communities.
- Integrity Music is the first Christian music label to have an artist application for the iPhone and will be following suite with Australian praise and worship band Hillsong United in the near future.
