Chris Tomlin, one of the most popular worship leaders of our time, will be releasing his fifth studio album, Hello Love, this autumn with recently released solo "Jesus Messiah" amongst the tracks.

In his album, scheduled to be released on September 2, Tomlin focuses on the core of Christian worship - love.

"With each new record, I continue to strive to create songs that will help people voice their worship to God," said Tomlin. "Worship is a massive word with a very broad scope, but in the end, it is very simple. It is love!"

Hello Love contains 12 tracks, some of which are already being used in worship context across the nation. Perhaps the most noticeable track on this album is "Jesus Messiah".
