It may have been seven long years since Christian music legend Russ Taff (The Imperials, Gaither Vocal Band) released a record, but he’s more than made up for any lost time by dropping both the praise project, Believe,and being the simultaneous subject of the biopic “Russ Taff: I Still Believe,” which chronicles his achievements, alongside struggles with a traumatic past and subsequent alcoholism.

Premiering in more than 700 movie theaters nationwide for a one-time special presentation, Fathom Events/Fuseic Entertainment’s Russ Taff: I Still Believe was the #2 per screen average (PSA) movie in America for the night of October 30, according to data collected by Comscore.

Multi-GRAMMY® and Dove Award-winning Russ Taff will release his debut praise and worship album, Believe, Nov. 2 from Sweetwater Studios, a division of Sweetwater Sound, and with global distribution from The Fuel Music. His first new album in over seven years, the full-circle, 12-song project features new recordings of the hits for which Taff is best-loved, including his iconic “I Still Believe” which is available now as a single at all digital and streaming outlets.

Experience is a powerful teacher. It's the substance that gives a great vocalist the weight and gravitas to make an audience feel as much as he does. For Russ Taff, every splinter of pain and every hard-won ounce of hope surfaces each time he launches into a song. And that's what makes his new album Believe—the legendary artist's very first praise and worship album—such a powerful vehicle for spreading the gospel.
