Blessid Union Of Souls return with new album
MAINSTREAM American rock band Blessid Union Of Souls, who had a Platinum
selling hit in 1995 with "I Believe", will release a new album 'The
Mission Field'. The album is set for US release on 1st March on
Salvation Road Records. Said the band's founder and lead singer Eliot
Sloan about the plan to distribute the album into the mainstream
(through Sony) and Christian retail (through Integrity-Provident), "A
lot of fans have said this is the perfect transition and I also hope
to inspire new listeners as well, but I don't really think about
marketplaces or numbers when I'm writing. I always just want to make
them sound as good as possible while singing something of substance,
which on this record says 'let's strap in and really make a daily,
conscious effort to follow in Christ's footsteps.' I'm always under
construction, but at the same time, if I wait until I'm perfect before
taking a step, then it's never going to happen. I don't know of any
perfect people except one and they hung him on the cross! I think the
songs speak about looking at ourselves a little closer, paying more
attention to what we say and do, and knowing that overall world change
is possible, but it starts with one person at a time."
