LOS ANGELES (October 11, 2011) – Nicole C. Mullen celebrates the success of her album Captivated with a nod from Worship Leader Magazine for one of 2011’s Best of the Best “Top Worship Albums” and her upcoming induction into the Christian Music Hall of Fame on November 5, 2011. Mullen’s new single, “Holy Captivated,” is impacting AC and INSPO radio now.

“Nicole is such a joy to work with and a true woman of God,” said the album’s Producer Ed Cash. “‘Holy Captivated’ was the first song she sent me, and I knew immediately that I wanted to be a part of her record. The words to this song just take me to the throne room.” Early response to the new radio single is another reflection of the incredible impact Captivated is having on audiences.

Riding on the momentum of Captivated, “Holy Captivated” is Mullen’s second single from the album produced by Cash. Written by Mullen and Antonio Neal, the song features Mullen’s heartfelt vocals backed by equally powerful lyrics.

"Holy Captivated is a song that I began to write one morning as I was waking up,” explained Mullen. “Without sounding "hyper –spiritual," it was as if my spirit was singing it before my mind could craft it. The song is a declaration of the awesomeness of God, regardless of our emotional climate. He is good in every season of life, even when horrible things happen. He is worthy of worship when our lives are experiencing the freshness of spring. He is worthy of worship in the hard winter seasons. He is worthy of worship in death and in life. He is HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!”

Mullen’s brilliant resume, highlighted by her CD, Captivated, and her life-long commitment to ministry are key reasons why Worship Leader Magazine named the recording one of the best of the best this year and why she is being honored as an inductee into the Christian Music Hall of Fame in November.

“We are very pleased to induct Nicole C. Mullen into the Christian Music Hall of Fame,” said Christian Music Hall of Fame Chairman Andy Woolard. “Her career spans 20 years since her first release of uplifting and encouraging people and praising our One True God. Her Multiple Dove Awards and GRAMMY ® nominations, along with continued touring, show us Nicole is worthy of our recognition and induction. We pray Nicole continues to be an encouragement and has many more years of spreading the word of God through her music."

Nicole C. Mullen possesses a diverse resume as a wife, mother, singer, songwriter, speaker, and successful businesswoman as well as a minister and mentor. She has written and recorded such classic songs as “Redeemer” and supplied signature songs to other worshiping artists. Songwriting has always been one of Mullen’s most treasured gifts and she’s used it as a vehicle to encourage, inspire and to teach.
