Matthew West Debuts Title Track From Upcoming Album 'Brand New'
Multi-Award Winning singer/songwriter Matthew West will release his new project, Brand New, on February 14, 2020 as his first album on Provident Label Group/Sony Music and his imprint Story House Music. Today, the record's title track became available for download.
"The title Brand New does represent where I find myself these days," explains Matthew West about the upcoming release. "Signing with a new label, starting my own management company, building a new songwriting house and studio called The Story House, and with that, a flood of new songs. But the title really has an even deeper meaning than just a representation of where I'm at in my career. Brand New is actually inspired by the idea of looking back, or what's more, going back. In many ways this is an album about returning to the days when I was a new Christian, and my faith felt fresh and alive."
"May these words speak to you like they speak to me," West said of the title track. With Brand New, West has written a collection of songs that were inspired by him wanting to get back to that closeness he felt when he was young in his faith with God.
