"I can hardly believe today is here.... My new record Grand Symphony is now available on I tunes.... Caution there are a number of tunes that May get you dancing and speaking Spanish (or in tongues). Hope y'all are blessed. -Ric" Sanchez said on Facebook.
The album is produced by Sanchez, along with multi GRAMMY®-winning worship leader Israel Houghton and Mark Townsend, the 12-song project is Sanchez's most pop-oriented release to date.
Grand Symphony showcases a variety of international influences, abd highlights include the electronically-pulsing "Halle, Halle," penned by Sanchez and Houghton; "Take Over," an acoustic guitar-driven message of surrender and gratitude; the bilingual declaration of praise, "Por Cristo"; and "Love The Name," featuring acclaimed singer/songwriter Brian Courtney Wilson, among other selections.
"When people listen to this project, I want them to know they have a place in the Body of Christ," Sanchez said in a release. "They don't have to be a Bible scholar or theologian or someone on television to be of value or importance. Life is a symphony-everyone has a story to tell and a part to play. There's reason and purpose in it all."
