Matthew West To Release Fifth Album 'The Story Of Your Life'

Jul 26 2010

Matthew West will release his fifth studio album 'The Story Of Your Life' on 5th October 2010. The singer/songwriter asked fans via his website to send in stories about themselves which he would use to inspire the songwriting for his new album. He went on to receive over 10,000 letters from fans.

Taking the letters with him, Matthew spent two months in a cabin in a rural area near Nashville, reading the stories and writing songs about them. Many of the letters told stories of terrible darkness and suffering, including child abuse, which inspired Matthew to write the song 'Broken Girl'. Another track on the album, called 'One Less' is on the topic of adoption.

As a talented songwriter, Matthew has written songs for artists including Mark Schultz, Mandisa, Jump5, Sara Groves, Joy Williams, Salvador, Natalie Grant, PureNRG, and Point of Grace, as well as mainstream country act Billy Ray Cyrus. Rascal Flatts also recorded Matthew's song 'The Day Before You'.

Matthew will be heading out on 'The Story Of Your Life Tour' later this year with fellow musicians Josh Wilson and Jonny Diaz.
