Phil Wickham Enjoys Critical Success

Phil Wickham’s most recent album, Heaven and Earth is already receiving critical adoration from many outlets, with ChristianMusicToday.com among others naming it one of the top albums of 2009.
“Wickham is moving in a fascinating direction with his sound, and with this album he seems to be testing the waters a bit. It makes the prospect of future material that much more enticing. But until then, we have this fine album—one of 2009’s best—to keep us company.”-ChristianMusicToday.com

“This is definitely Phil Wickham’s best overall album and one of my top 10 albums of 2009.  These melodies are off the charts and any test audience will have a hard time not giving these songs 5 star ratings.  This is a 5 star album.”-Christianmusicreview.org

“Wickham pulls off an excellent hybrid of interesting lyrics, great vocals and fantastic music… Heaven And Earth is easily one of the finest worship projects of the year.”-jesusfreakhideout.com

In addition to the rave reviews, radio stations across the U.S. agree that Wickham’s album is something to talk about:

“The first time I listened to Phil’s single ‘Safe’, I was amazed over how the message connected and really appreciate its relevance to all that is going on in the world these days,” says WAY-FM Network Program Director, Tate Luck. “The sound is fresh and Bart Millard’s participation is a great touch!”

Wickham’s current single “Safe” features MercyMe’s frontman Bart Millard.  While only out 8 weeks, the single has already made it into the top 20 on Billboard’s Christian AC and Soft AC/Inspirational charts. Currently there are already 75 reporting stations that have added “Safe.”

Released November 17th, Heaven And Earth has already enjoyed early success on the iTunes music charts.  The album claimed the No. 2 spot on the Christian/Gospel album chart on iTunes while “Safe” topped the Christian/Gospel singles chart at No. 1.
