Matthew West is back with a brand new album called, “All In”.
It features 14 new songs and one of the songs features his daughter Lula West. The
album begins with the title track and it describes how we let fear run our life
and we’re living with regrets. Matthew West writes about how he wants God to
say well done at the end of his life. He declares that he’s going all in and he’s
committed to running his race and finishing it with everything he’s got.
Another favorite song is entitled, “Mercy is a Song”. This
one discussed how God is able to forgive us and how he can remove our chains.
This song is a praise song shouting hallelujah and about how we are redeemed by
Jesus and we will have a mansion in Heaven waiting for us. I also loved how
Matthew West added an amazing choir to the background vocals to give it a
churchy and Heavenly feeling.
Another favorite song is called, “Amen”. This one reminds
me of something Andy Grammer. This one explained about how he wanted to share
his story to the church and how he is a new creation in Christ. This is a very
happy tune and an amazing praise and testify song about what God has saved us
from.
Another favorite song is, “The Sound of a Life Changing”.
This one described how Matthew West first started writing songs about how he was
watching Steven Curtis Chapman performing and God told him that would be him
someday telling the world about God’s amazing grace. The song talks about the
song of life changing and hearing our dreams coming alive.
I really enjoyed the song, “Something Greater”. This one
talked about how Matthew West went to Nashville and he thought he was just
signing a record deal. When he was in Nashville, he fell in love and got
married and had kids. This song declared how there is something greater
happening and we’re a part of a bigger story. I loved the vocals on this track
and I can hear this one making it as a single on radio.
“Jesus and You” reminded me of the vocals and style of John
Mayer. This one talked about how the world is out of control and we’re hanging
on. This one drew a picture of seeing a lighthouse in a hurricane and how it’s
helping us to find our way back home. It also discussed the power of when we
can hang on to our spouse and trust Jesus, and how they both forgive us for our
wrongs. One of my favorite lines was when Matthew West talked about our ring on
our fingers and how Jesus has scars on His hands and they both promised
forever. I could see this song being played in weddings it has the slow tempo
that couples would love.
This album has tons of amazing songs that listeners can
relate to and connect with. If you’re ready to be “All In”, then download and purchase
this album!
Matthew’s heart behind the album:
Matthew wrote his new album All In
with the goal of encouraging himself and others to get up off the sidelines of
their faith and really live it out – to go all in in your time with God, all in
with your family, all in with your community, and all in battling your fears
that may hold you back from becoming who God made you to be. Along that same
theme, Matthew will be launching a 6-week All in Challenge on his social media
starting 9/18, and each week Matthew will be challenging his fans to go all in
in a different part of their lives. What does it look like when a heart that
knows Jesus takes a step and holds nothing back? How can we go All In in the
places that mean the most?
