SINGAPORE — Move over, Gentle Bones. City Harvest’s latest album, Draw Me, has managed to push the singer-songwriter off the top of the Singapore iTunes charts as of 5pm on Tuesday (June 14).

Featuring 13 original tracks, the album was released on Friday and has since garnered an overall rating of 4-and-a-half stars based on 40 reviews. According to a post on City Harvest Church’s official Facebook on Monday, the first print run of the album has officially sold out.

Church co-founder and pop singer Ho Yeow Sun, otherwise known as Sun Ho, contributed to four tracks on the album.

“Recording 4 tracks for this album has been an amazing journey for me. When I step into the studio, I set aside the cares and burdens that I face daily, and I find myself just worshipping. And I know I was not alone in the recording booth. The Holy Spirit has always been present with me,” wrote the singer in a Facebook post on June 2.



The album’s creative director Mark Kwan said in the church’s newsletter that the idea to put out an album was conceived in 2014, “because of all that the church has been going through, we’ve never had the time to take on the entire process of producing an album”.

Last year, six former leaders of City Harvest Church — CHC founder Kong Hee, 51; the church’s former second-in-command Tan Ye Peng, 42; former church investment manager Chew Eng Han, 55; former church board member John Lam, 47; former church finance managers Serina Wee, 38, and Sharon Tan, 40 — were found guilty of criminal breach of trust and falsification of accounts, and sentenced to jail terms ranging from 21 months to eight years.

In January, the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) filed an appeal against the sentences of the six, saying that the sentences were “manifestly inadequate, in all the circumstances of the case” and asked for more jail time.

All six, now out on bail, have filed notices of appeal against both their convictions and sentences.
