VICKY BEECHING RETURNS WITH NEW LABEL AND NEW CD
Eternity Invades In Stores Now!
MOBILE, Ala. – 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 has signed with the praise and worship label and returns with Eternity Invades.
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:
- “Salvation Day”
- “Blessing and Honor”
- “Deliverer”
- “Breath of God”
- “Inhabit the Praise”
- “Glory to God Forever”
- “One Day”
- “Break Our Hearts”
- “Emmanuel”
- “Refuge”
- ”Listening”
- ”Undivided Heart”
- Bonus Track – a new recording of “The Wonder of the Cross”
Since the album’s international release in April, Beeching has been busy traveling the world, with concert and festival appearances including Britain’s “Spring Harvest.” She also has been busy with the launch of the Women In Worship Network (www.womeninworshipnetwork.com) an online community created to offer encouragement and support to female worship leaders. Equally important to Beeching is her role as an advocate for social justice for 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.
The 30-year-old 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, Beeching 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 been featured in Worship Leader as a guest writer and is featured on the cover of the May/June issue of Worship Musician magazine. She also has an active blog on her website www.vickybeeching.com with photos and behind-the-scenes posts from her travels. Beeching’s Twitter address is www.twitter.com/vickybeeching.
Eternity Invades is available to Christian retail stores through Provident-Integrity Distribution and is available through all major digital service providers.
