pato September 14, 2024 2 min read 0

Earlier this summer, Darlene Zschech announced the release of a special album titled “Testament,” celebrating 30 years since her breakthrough song “Shout to the Lord.” After an introductory EP, she teases more from the awaited full-length record with a second collection, “Testament (EP 2).”

The five songs on this project combine two brand-new tracks (“Spirit of the Living God” and “Yes Again”) with reimagined versions of beloved legacy songs, as well as many features. Zschech is highlighting the vibrance of the Church around the globe by collaborating with artists of various backgrounds and from a different generation, such as Mitch Wong, Michael W. Smith, Dustin Smith, and many more.

The opening track even features The HopeUC Nashville Choir, which emerged from the HopeUC church plant Zschech and her husband started in Australia years ago. In many ways, “Testament” is a full circle album.

With 10 tracks from the major 30-song album out, Zschech comes back to some of the pillars that have kept her anchored throughout her lasting ministry, as she described them as “songs that have deep meaning to my family; that have helped shape me and kept my focus heavenward.”

“Testament (EP 2)” keeps telling the story of the fresh sound oozing out of Zschech’s life, which is fueled by her unwavering love for Jesus and his Church.
