Vicky Beeching releases her Integrity Music debut, Eternity Invades, today.
"Today is a day I’ve been waiting for with great excitement for ages! My new album “Eternity Invades” released this morning!" announced Beeching on her website (www.vickybeeching.com).
Eternity Invades re-introduces Beeching as one of today's most gifted female worship leaders, and her new music is a testament to her credentials as both a thoughtful theologian and accomplished musician and songwriter. Eternity Invades offers 13 new worship songs that will have as much power being sung by intimate chapel gatherings, mega-church congregations or by just a single man or woman yearning to draw heaven into earth.
Beeching spent the week before her CD release visiting radio stations across the country to promote "Salvation Day," the first single from Eternity Invades.
Eternity Invades was produced by upcoming new producer Jonathan MacIntosh (a former guitarist for Tim Hughes, Brenton Brown, Kevin Max and more). Beeching wrote all of the songs on the record, including collaborations with Robin Mark, Steve Fee and others.
Beeching was raised in the UK by parents in church ministry and grandparents who served as missionaries in Africa and Israel. She began writing songs when she was just 11, and later, was inspired to prepare for her calling into music by pursuing a theology degree at Oxford University, one of Britain's most prestigious schools.
In the UK, Vicky partnered with Vineyard Music (where she worked with Integrity labelmate Brian Doerkson), writing and performing songs on the Hungry, Holy, Surrender and Best of Vineyard projects. She also worked on staff at Soul Survivor in London, contributing to their People's Album and Live Worship 2005. During these years she led worship alongside Matt Redman, Tim Hughes and Brenton Brown.
Beeching felt God calling her Stateside and obediently moved to the U.S. in 2004. Two critically acclaimed CDs later (2005's Yesterday Today and Forever and 2007's Painting The Invisible), she has led worship in almost all 50 States, as well as coast to coast across Canada and throughout Europe.
Beeching has an active blog on her website www.vickybeeching.com with photos and behind-the-scenes posts from the recording studio and on the road. Beeching's Twitter address is www.twitter.com/vickybeeching.
Vicky Beeching has always desired to be a worship leader first and recording artist second. Integrity Music could see this was her true DNA, so now, after a two year recording absence, Beeching releases her Integrity debut, Eternity Invades, on April 6.
Eternity Invades is worth the wait. The CD re-introduces Beeching as one of today's most gifted female worship leaders, and her new music is a testament to her credentials as both a thoughtful theologian and accomplished musician and songwriter. With Eternity Invades, Beeching offers 13 new worship songs that will have as much power being sung by intimate chapel gatherings, mega-church congregations or by just a single man or woman yearning to draw heaven into earth.

Eternity Invades was produced by upcoming new producer Jonathan MacIntosh (a former guitarist for Tim Hughes, Brenton Brown, Kevin Max and more). Beeching wrote all of the songs on the record, including collaborations with Robin Mark, Steve Fee and others.
"For me, the title sums up the record," said Beeching. "It's about raising our expectation of what can happen in the context of worship - reminding us that it's a supernatural encounter and that God's Kingdom can break in - eternity can invade, if we are seeking and wanting that."
Accordingly, Beeching wanted the record to sound as big as the concept, and cites groups U2 and Coldplay as sonic touchstones. "I wanted to create something that sounds like me and my band do in a live setting," she said. "I wanted to make music that is fresh and edgy, while still being very congregational and church friendly."
The full track listing for Eternity Invades is:
1. "Salvation Day"
2. "Blessing and Honor"
3. "Deliverer"
4. "Breath of God"
5. "Inhabit the Praise"
6. "Glory to God Forever"
7. "One Day"
8. "Break Our Hearts"
9. "Emmanuel"
10. "Refuge"
11. "Listening"
12. "Undivided Heart"
13. Bonus Track – a new recording of “The Wonder of the Cross"
The album's first single is "Salvation Day," and it is already gaining momentum at radio. Beeching will spend the week before street date, visiting radio to talk about the song and the full CD project. She also has a full slate of shows and worship events she will be participating in throughout the spring and summer.
Beeching has embraced social media with a highly active presence online through her personal Blog, Twitter, Facebook, Vimeo and other networking sites. A few weeks ago she launched her newest online venture, the Women In Worship Network: www.womeninworshipnetwork.com. Beeching hosts this new community, where she offers encouragement to female worship leaders, and the opportunity for them to connect with one another via a mini social network and forums. The site had over 2,000 visits on its first day and has over 200 active members of the network’s member
Equally important to women in ministry is Beeching's role as an advocate for social justice and she has involved herself with organizations like Hope for Justice, Compassion International and The International Justice Mission.
"Justice is a huge ethereal reality, but God breaks it down into bite-sized chunks in passages like Isaiah 51. It's about opening your eyes when someone is suffering, not turning away. If everybody did that, we really could change the world," she said.

Eternity Invades will be available to Christian retail stores through Provident-Integrity Distribution and will be available through all major digital service providers. In addition, Integrity International will distribute the project to over 160 countries.
Worship leader Vicky Beeching will offer a sneak peak at her first album for Integrity Music when she releases a three-song digital EP on Feb. 9. The full-length CD, Eternity Invades, will be released on April 6.
The EP includes new songs “Salvation Day,” which is also her first radio single, “Blessing and Honor” and “Deliverer.” Chord charts for all three songs are part of the EP package. Beeching’s EP will be available at major DSPs including iTunes, Amazon.com, Napster and Rhapsody as well as at IntegrityMusic.com.
Beeching says her new album will be a “mix of energetic band songs, beautiful strings, and intimate piano moments. My goal for the album is that people will be stirred to worship as they listen and that the songs will be a resource for churches to use corporately.”
The British-born and Oxford-educated Beeching recorded the album in her U.S. hometown of San Diego, working with upcoming producer Jonathan MacIntosh (a former guitarist for Tim Hughes, Brenton Brown, Kevin Max and more). Beeching was very involved in the creative process, from laying the scratch tracks on “studio day 1,” to the final mixing and mastering tweaks. She has brought the arrangement and instrumentation skills she is known for in her live context to the studio, showing her potential production credentials for the future.
Eternity Invades will include 12 new songs all written by Beeching, including “Glory to God Forever,” which she co-wrote with Steve Fee and was a radio hit from Fee’s INO Records album Hope Rising. Beeching’s deep involvement in social justice is reflected in her new song “Break Our Hearts” – a prayer that God would impart to us His heart for those in need.
Also expect appearances on the record from Stu G (from delirious), Leeland, Phil Wickham, Drew Shirley (Switchfoot) and others. Beeching “Tweeted” recently describing the upcoming CD, “I've never made an album I've loved this much.”

MOBILE, Ala. (September 10, 2009) - Integrity Music has signed worship artist and songwriter Vicky Beeching for the worldwide release of a self-titled EP due November 24 and followed by a full-length CD, Eternity Invades, slated for release in early 2010.
“Vicky has spent years as a worship leader trapped in a traditional record industry system,” said Jay King, Vice President of A&R and Artist Development. “We are excited to deliver an amazing worship experience with an artist who is now free to be who God has called her to be.”
The British born and Oxford-educated Beeching is currently in the studio in her U.S. hometown of San Diego, finishing up three songs for the EP, which is being produced by upcoming new producer Jonathan MacIntosh (a former guitarist for Tim Hughes, Brenton Brown, Kevin Max and more). Beeching has also been collaborating with MacIntosh’s wife, Sarah MacIntosh, the former lead singer for Chasing Furies. The two have written several of the new songs expected to be on Beeching’s full-length CD debut for Integrity.
In addition to her own songs, Beeching collaborates with many different songwriters, and one of her most recent co-writes is “Glory to God Forever,” which she co-wrote with Steve Fee. The song is climbing the charts at A/C Christian radio and is from Fee’s new INO Records album Hope Rising, which releases on Oct. 6.

(Nashville, Tennessee)--January 10, 2008 EMI/Sparrow worship artist Vicky Beeching was recently honored in the UK’s Christian Broadcasting Council Media Awards, in the ‘Best Worship Album 2007” category for the success of her latest album release, “Painting The Invisible.”
Presenting the award to her in London over the holidays was Les Moir of U.K. based Survivor Records.
Now living in the U.S., the British born artist's current radio single, Great Is the Glory, from her award winning album, is now rising on the Inspo charts nationally.
Notes Vicky about the single:
"Some songs have a special place in the heart of the singer, and for me “Great Is the Glory” is one of those. I look forward to it in my concert set list, and find myself asking God each night I sing it for a fresh glimpse of His glory. The verses of “Great Is the Glory” simply tell the gospel story – God coming to earth, dying, rising again. The basic truths that our whole lives are built upon. It’s my prayer that as we hear and sing those verses, we would remember the wonder of the gospel again. That God would shine thorough those simple lyrics, revealing Himself and leaving us responding “great is your glory Lord!”
