I was just sent a few photos from the recent shoot I did with long time friend and photographer Christian Rios, a man with an eye for the artistic. This shoot was for the new record, which is currently being set up for a September 1st release. Though there is no official title for the album yet, reoccurring themes of Heaven and the subsequent longings that the human heart has for the place have bubbled to the surface (there is a song called “Heaven and Earth” that has some title potential), so we wanted the images to move away from the previous moody, organic feel of past installments and move towards white, clean, brightness.
Here’s one:
Here it is with some special sauce.
We have some post-shoot ideas to bring some otherworldly quality to the shots, but you can’t see those yet.
Heaven And Earth has a nice ring to it though… what do you think?

I’m feelin’ it… of course whatever you decide will be very fitting. This title has good potential like you said.
I love the shoots!! And the idea of the new album is just lovely!
I hope you come to Guatemala someday! I went to a concert of yours like 3 years ago on Southeast Christian Church in Kentuchy and I just loved your music! Your lyrics are so awesome! I can’t wait for the new album!!
God bless you
Awesome photos!
“Heaven and Earth does sound pretty dandy!
I think if you have a lot of songs about Heaven and Earth, I was thinking a sweet name for the new album could be a specific bible verse: (one’s about Heaven, Earth, or both…something that can relate to your last song “Heaven Song”, to make it relate.)
-2 Peter 3:13
-Philippians 3:20
-Revelation 21
Heaven and earth sounds awesome!
And the new song does too! And the pictures look awesome! Funny thing is, I was at a conference in Holland called Heaven On Earth a few days ago, so that makes me like the title eaven more. AND there was a guitar player/singer guy who looked A LOT like you. So yeah.. I love the title and I can’t wait to pre-order your cd! 
Heaven and Earth is a great title.. Not too sure about a rainbow theme for pictures… could send a wrong message….
Amazing photo. Like the Heaven and Earth title. God bless!
P.S i remember that song from the ch/you tour and it was awesome!
Pics are awesomeness!
And as for the title, heaven and earth would be cool, but it really all depends on what the other options are. A line within that song would be cool, I think, but with heaven and earth those pics would be SWEET! XD
I am looking forward to the new release; the lower photo would make a swell jigsaw puzzle!
Man, I am soooooo psyched about your new album!!!!!!! I can’t wait!!!!! Nomatter WHAT you end up titling it, I know for sure I’ll be pre-ordering ASAP!!!!!!
SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!
I love the pic, the pink and green is really working for you Phil
the title would so go with those pics too!
Very nice ring to it. I like it!
Interesting pics, Phil! H&E sounds like a good title. Keep it in mind as the rest of the album gets made to see if it fits the theme (sorry…worship leader in me =P ) Take cares and I’ll be waiting for more updates!
THIS LOOKS SO COOL!!!!!! I LOVE SPECIAL SAUCE!!!!!!!
anything you pick will be amazing of course and we’ll love you no matter what =D
hey Phil! Im really diggin the pics, they totally look sweet!
I think that for your new album, you should name it based on the ideas of some of your songs..i noe that 2 of the new songs are focused on heaven, (“heaven and earth”, and the other one, which i think you said was “Heaven song” )…i think it wud be rad if the title had something to do with waiting..cuz in that song is that i can’t wait to sing with the angels which is totally true …..WAITING.. that could be the name of it..u could build on that..anyways..thanks for takin the time to consider my little piece of insight..
God Bless
Hey Phil! Wierd Pics! I like the sound of “Heaven and Earth” as the title, but i think it would be really cool if you took a line from that song (or another) and made it the title! Just a fan’s Idea! Love you man!
All For His Son’s Glory!

Well ive seen you play Heaven and Earth (in San Diego)
