Multi Grammy®, Stellar and Dove Award winning gospel recording artist, Israel Houghton releases 'Covered' the powerful debut single from his upcoming live recording, COVERED...ALIVE IN ASIA (RGM-New Breed Music / RCA Inspiration) to radio today. Written and produced by Israel Houghton with co-producers Aaron Lindsey and Kevin Camp, 'Covered' is an anointed praise and worship anthem that rejoices about God's grace received at the cross. 'Covered' will be available on all digital music providers beginning Tuesday, October 14.

'Anyone who has followed our music for any length of time in our 15 years of existence knows that we tend to sing a lot about God's grace,' said Israel Houghton. 'We all need it.
