I’m sure I’ve said it before, but Yahoo Music Engine is the musical portal of choice at our office during the days. I’ve noticed that Matthew West has been getting some exposure on their site, you can see me highlighting it in the image above.
A recent article I was reading also talked about Matthew West’s newest release, “Something to Say”.
I didn’t realize he was as prolific a songwriter as he was with some really big name clients on his repertoire: Rachael Lampa, Billy Ray Cyrus, Rascal Flatts and Mandisa.
Chris Well said this about the album in CCM Magazine:
The album’s opening notes set the stage, as bittersweet, cinematic strings melt away into the album’s thesis statement, “Something to Say,” an up-tempo jaunt proclaiming that every living person has a God-given contribution to make to the world. From that point, much of the album–including songs like “The Motions” and “The Center”—revolves around the need to live, to breathe, to do. Other songs are first-person and third-person stories dealing with the various stages—and challenges—of life. “Life Inside You” reaches out to the lost and hopeless, “Save a Place for Me” is a tearful farewell to a loved one, and “Safe and Sound” is as lovely a welcome as a baby ever had.
Sounds like a good review to me, I’ll have to see if I can pick up this album and give it a spin on the player and see if I agree. Anyone else already purchased the album and have an opinion of West’s first release in 3 years?
