Avalon Is Reborn: On A Successful Tour, Amazing Radio Airplay, And Stellar Music Reviews!
Nashville, TN – October 15, 2009 – They’re on a successful tour, their new project’s debut radio single, “Arise” is already at #3, they are obtaining steady record sales, and are garnering amazing project reviews. Yes, it’s Avalon, one of Christian music’s premier and award-winning vocal groups, who continue to feel Reborn with their latest project, just released September 15th on E1 Entertainment. Avalon, along with tour mates Selah, are halfway through their extremely successful tour, “An Evening with Selah & Avalon,” with most nights being performed in front of a sell-out crowd! Then, turn on the radio and you’re bound to hear “Arise,” the quartet’s first single off of Reborn. “Arise” is already at #3 on Billboard’s Soft AC/INSP Chart and continues to climb the charts every week.
Since its mid-September release to much acclaim, stellar reviews continue to roll in about Reborn:
“With pulsing keyboards, wall-to-wall guitars, palpitating bass lines, and authoritative vocal arrangements, each track cleanly advances from one to the next, casting the aggressive vision from the title track’s first downbeat to the final mega-worship strains of ‘Holy.’…You’d be hard pressed to find four finer vocals channeled in such a cutting edge musical atmosphere in Christian music today…Avalon’s first thirteen years in the biz will forever be in the CCM history books. Reborn is a good beginning to the next thirteen-plus years of Avalon history making.” - ChristianMusicToday.com
“The new album is a refreshing new rendition of a time-honored vocal group. It’s like the group has recharged their musical batteries. Reborn is more progressive than their usual style with a much bigger sound, but still with their familiar uplifting lyrics and spectacular harmonies. I imagine that when Avalon takes this on the road it’s going to be impressive…The group has certainly stepped outside of their comfort zone..” - AlphaOmegaNews.org
“Avalon has delivered a new project that gives its audience much more by way of the lush harmonies that we were first introduced to coupled with a lot of musical chances for an Avalon album…True to form, the Avalon harmonies are ever present, but a nice surprise is the use of overlapping the harmonies in the songs “Free”, “California” and “Alive”. Just take a listen to the song “Angels” and try to remember that you are listening to Avalon…Reborn re-introduces its audience to the re-invigorated, re-imagining of this quartet, and it is simply REFRESHING!” - TitleTrakk.com
I have been a fan of Avalon for 10 plus years now. I have attended most of the concerts they have held in my area including the most recent one in Riverview, Florida on October 24th. I must say that I was 100% blown away in this concert. Speaking from a spiritual perspective, which by the way was beyond description, but also musicaly. The harmonizing, the individual live voices, the message. Alas, everything was superb! One must really listen to the lyrics on this album and then watch them come alive as these guys bring life to them. Amy, the newest member, did a fantastic job fitting right in to the group. Her talent is really noticed in the title track ‘Reborn’ where she encompasses the entire song. Not to mention her and the other two newer members, Greg and Jeremy’s rendition of classic Avalon hits was done very, very well! Once again, AWESOME job Avalon!
