Eric Lige to Release Third Album
in Spring 2012



PRE-ORDER NOW 

The album Sole Desire will feature 13 songs fusing together the various styles that has inspired the inspirational singer over the years, including:black gospel, modern worship, soul, jazz, classical, and rock. 

The goal of the album is to communicate to a global audience the goodness and greatness of the Living God.

"As We Worship" is the first single off the album and is already starting to receive Christian radio airplay.

“This is a call to worship written on the whelm with two worship leader friends, Leonard Patton and Molly Jarrell (‘As We Worship’). For me, it had to be the opening song to jump-start the project because of it's call and response nature that ascribes to God all of the honor, glory, power, and majesty," said Lige in the press release.

Adding, "I feel there's no better way to send a message to God and the world than by saying 'this one's for the glory of the King, straight from the heart'."  

This project has taken over a year and a half to produce.  It is a collaboration of skilled musicians brought together literally from around the world.  It's Athens, Greece-based producer, Theo Gkoutsidis, has been the mastermind behind each song's arrangement bringing together world-class musicians.  The project features the likes of bassist Melvin Lee Davis (musical director for  Chaka Khan and Lee Ritenour), brass players who are currently touring with Michael Jackson's bassist, drummer Billy Kalistridis (Greek Idol), drummer Frank Fluker (Who's Who of Berklee), Ian Holmes (American Idol), Armenian-based jazz pianist Vahagn Stepanyan, American singer Leonard Patton, and more.

Lige is scheduled to travel to New York, Miami, Alabama, Atlanta, and Tennessee during the month of February to start pre-promotion of the project.

Lige has collaborated with award-winning songwriter Donna Douglas (Faith Hill, The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Babbie Mason) on "Be Unto You" which features Arizona-based worship leader Marla Reed and an extraordinary European saxophonist. 

Lige released his freshman album, "Surrender" June 2009 which featured radio-hit song "Marvelous King" which received international attention.  It was followed by his first Christmas album, "Peace On Earth" November 2010.  "Sole Desire" is his third release.
