The record will be produced by Blanton, Robertson and Porter with the help of Son Sound Studios head engineer, Ritchie Robinson. The recording is set to release in 2012.

“The songs included on this new album were carefully chosen and recorded to fit the incredibly talented group and their individual personalities. We believe they will grab listeners with their tight harmonies and inspirational lyrics. As I’m listening, I am challenged by the lyrics and inspired by their purpose!” stated New West A&R Director, Scott Whitener.
