Martha Munizzi's "No Limits" is 10 Years Old
10 years ago, Martha Munizzi released her highly anticipated follow up to her Award Winning CD The Best Is Yet To Come and her first CD release since she signed on with Integrity Music for a long-term marketing and distribution deal. No Limits, a 2-disc CD filled with both high energy praise and intimate worship,was released on March 26, 2006.
"Rarely do artists connect with such a broad cross-section of culture in the way Martha Munizzi has already done and predicts to do in an even bigger way with her new release. When she sings that there are 'no limits' Martha may very well be describing the next season in her own life after this new record releases," said Don Moen, president of Integrity Label Group then. "Integrity Music is very excited about Martha's new project; it is an important priority for the company in 2006."
The album peaked at #60 on Billboard 200, #2 on Billboard's Christian Albums, and #1 on Billboard's Gospel Albums, where it stayed for 72 weeks. Also, the song "No Limits (Breakthrough)" peaked at #27 on Billboard's Gospel Songs.
An eclectic collection of songs that offers new sounds and new styles, No Limits was produced by Noel Hall (former musical director for Fred Hammond). The majority of the album's 22 tracks were written or co-written by Munizzi, who admits there were moments of pre-production butterflies and pressure to meet the high expectations set by her indie success.
"I had some moments of feeling, 'You did this once, but can you do it again?', but when we got around to the writing and recording, I just did what was in my heart," said Munizzi. "I had no idea what a hit song was when we did the first album, and couldn't tell you today. I just waited until I felt the Lord put something in my spirit. That's the only way I know how to do this."
No Limits was recorded live at Bethany World Prayer Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, just a few weeks before Hurricane Katrina made its life-changing impact on the Gulf Coast. The same sanctuary Munizzi and her musicians and singers filled with praise music to create No Limits was later filled with hundreds of evacuees and served as a key relief center, visited by President George Bush and Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx and other celebrities and was featured on every major broadcast network.
In addition to her live performances and CDs, Munizzi is known for her incomparable songwriting. Her songs such as "Shout," "Say The Name," and "Because Of Who You Are" have become praise and worship anthems in churches across America and around the world and Karen Clark Sheard, Vicki Yohe, Ron Kenoly and Alvin Slaughter are just a few of the artists who have recorded her songs
