UMobile’s 8Eighty Records releases live worship album

A new live worship album titled “My Savior My King“ Live Worship from the University of Mobile (UMobile) is being released May 19 through UMobile’s 8Eighty Records label.

“’My Savior My King’ is an exciting new live worship recording from UMobile Worship,” said Jeff Quimby, 8eighty Records general manager and director of A&R. “This sophomore release features six powerful new original worship songs written by UMobile students and creative arrangements of several worship favorites.”

The album was recorded in March on the campus of the Baptist university during the weekly True Spin campus worship in Ram Hall. It is the second live worship album produced by UMobile’s record label featuring worship led by students who are the next generation of worship leaders and musicians.

“It’s a great atmosphere to capture authentic worship from the students," Quimby said.
