Highest Praise is a musical ensemble dedicated to bringing the good news of Jesus Christ to all people through song. Based on lyrics alone, this would make them a ‘gospel’ group. However, their music is not your typical gospel music. While they do have songs with the flair of traditional gospel music they also have songs like King of Kings which is a bass driven jazz tune, The Anthem, which is just that, and the title track to their debut album, Brand New Day, which has more of a rock sound and feel. The talented members of Highest Praise each bring their own style and personality to the group. They come from different church and musical backgrounds. Each member has something to offer the group by way of their skills and creativity. This dynamic is what makes Highest Praise great. All of the music is original and comes not just from one songwriter. Regardless of how each song begins, in the end it is a wholly collaborative effort. Highest Praise was born out of a simple request for Katrice Cornett to sing at a women’s day service in Atlantic City, NJ in the summer of 2003. She sought the Lord for guidance and her friends for assistance; and while this group of musicians thought this was a one time engagement, the Lord truly had something else in mind. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Katrice and her friends established the group, Highest Praise! Currently in their third year of ministry, Highest Praise has been blessed to minister to many people throughout South Jersey, Delaware and Connecticut. Highest Praise includes individuals who are each ministers of music in their own right. They love to sing, fellowship, and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Together they lift up the name of Jesus Christ and allow the Holy Spirit to fill them with His precious anointing. They are passionate about ministering to all people, believing that God will save, heal and deliver. On August 13, 2005, Highest Praise celebrated their 2nd anniversary with their first live recording. Their debut album, Brand New Day Live, was released on January 28 with an event in Mt. Laurel, NJ. The album is available at Dazz in Camden, NJ, Christian Books and Gifts 2000, Bloomfield, CT and via the group’s website (www.highestpraisegospel.com). It is their desire that through this recording project they will be able to minister to people everywhere.
