History

On February, Hillsong Worship through their page announced that they were working and recording a new album to be released for July 2014, and some of the songs included "This I Believe" and "Calvary".[7][8][9]

In March they announced that they were working on the cover of the new album, joking that they didn't even know the name of it at all.[10]

On 3 April, they released the album's first single, a song titled "Calvary" as an Easter single.[11] Then, on 23 April, Cass Langton of Hillsong Church, posted a blog on Hillsong Collected, in which she talked about the new recording, announcing that Michael Chislett was producing the album. Meanwhile, Jay Argaet shot the new album cover on 23 April in Times Square, NYC.[12]

On 5 May, they revealed the album name by posting the cover artwork of the album, which is a picture of Times Square screens showing the text "No Other Name, Jesus".[13][14][15]
