Nashville, Tenn – 22 April 2016 – Word Records recording artist We Are Messengers releases its highly-acclaimed 14-song self-titled debut today. The album is now available at both iTunes and Spotify, as well as at all major music outlets. We Are Messengers is the musical and ministry vision of Irishman Darren Mulligan, whose heart is to serve God and to see His radical love transform our lives and our communities.

“When I was a young boy, I dreamed that I would one day be able to write songs that would move people and allow them to feel something true,” shares Mulligan. “This album is God’s gift to me and our family. He has allowed us to write songs that speak richly to us, and we believe will reach into the hearts of many.”

The music of We Are Messengers is already doing just that. Not only are countless radio stations across the country playing the band’s debut single, “Everything Comes Alive,” but magazine, newspaper and online features are posting about the album, such as Nashville’s The Tennessean, LifeWay’s HomeLife, Charisma Magazine, CCM Magazine, Shattered Magazine, and more. Rave music reviews are also touting the raw and honest message behind the “first great debut album of 2016.” Here are a few highlights:
