Creative Visionz Music Group announced today that southern gospel trio Noah's Faith, is in the studio recording a third project. The popular trio, which in one year of ministry have released two projects, will release a new but very traditional project at the end of May 2013. Dustin Ball, tenor vocalist for the group stated that, "This project will bring back the sounds of the original days of Southern Gospel Music, while giving a new edge to some very familiar tunes." The project which will be called "Pianopella" will feature six piano and vocal only tracks with four a capella tunes, and one surprise bonus track that is sure to bring a smile to all who hears! Bass Vocalist Joshua Cox, a long time friend and currently the bus driver and sound technician for the trio, will join Noah's Faith to form a Quartet sound, celebrating the heritage and original sounds of Southern Gospel Music. "This project will remind you of tunes that people fell in love with when Southern Gospel was first introduced, and will have you singing along and worshiping every time you hear," lead vocalist Shellem Cline stated. A spokesperson for Creative Visionz Music also stated that this project may be the best yet from the multi-award nominated and multi-charting trio.
