Untitled

Tonight is the fourth solo album from the Grammy winning Christian pop/hip-hop artist TobyMac. It is the follow up album to his 2007 release Portable Sounds, and will be released on February 9, 2010.[1] The Deluxe Version of the album will contain a DVD containing interviews with Toby about the songs on the record, the making of this record and an inside look at the Diverse City Band. [2]

Recording process

When asked about the album by steriotruth.net Toby had the following to say about the album; "The recording process means a lot to me, and I don’t approach what I do haphazardly. I have a lot of passion when it comes to my records. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but there’s this range of emotions that come with making a record. Music is something that can actually open people’s minds to who God is. Music will never change the world, but God can choose to use music, and that’s what I count on. I want my songs to be said in a way that anyone can relate to them. I want them to move people’s lives forward; move people toward God, and if I’m accomplishing that, whether or not anyone loves this record, as long as I feel like that is what I’m doing, then I feel like my job is done."[3]

Release and promotion

"City on Our Knees" was released as the album's lead single in August 2009; it peaked at #1 on Billboard magazine's Hot Christian Songs chart in October 2009.

"Showstopper" has been used as part of the NFL Thursday Night Football Promotional material.[4] and the 2009 World Series.[5]
