Multiple GRAMMY®, Stellar and Dove Award winner, Soul Train Award winner and double RIAA® certified Gold®-selling artist Israel Houghton highlights the greatest Gospel commandment with Love God. Love People.

Featuring the musically masterful energy that has become synonymous with Israel Houghton recordings, the album also reveals special guest appearances by Kirk Franklin, Fred Hammond and Take 6's Claude V. McKnight, III, Mark Kibble and Joey Kibble, as well as song co-writes with Meleasa Houghton, Aaron Lindsey, Tommy Sims and Michael Gungor.

"Love God. Love People. is a return to a simple, foundational Gospel command: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and your neighbour as yourself," says Israel. "Virtually every song touches on this profound simplicity. It all comes down to 'Love God, love people.' Period."

Israel co-produced the new album with long-time collaborator Aaron Lindsey, whose credits include Shirley Caesar, Martha Munizzi, CeCe Winans and many more, and with Tommy Sims, whose writing, recording and performing credits range from Bruce Springstein and Garth Brooks to Wynnona and Kelly Clarkson. The trio of producers also co-wrote five of the songs, including the first Gospel single, "You Hold My World". Three additional songs were penned by Israel and his wife Meleasa.

Love God. Love People. blends the musical genres of worship, rock, funk and power pop, and was recorded and engineered by Danny Duncan (India.Arie, Hillsong LIVE, Natalie Grant, CeCe Winans) at Abbey Road Studios in London.
