The new album from Matthew West, 'The Story of Your Life' will be available as a standard CD and a special deluxe edition CD/DVD. The album, released on 5th October 2010, features 11 songs inspired by stories fans sent in to Matthew. He then spent two months in a cabin outside Nashville reading every story and then transforming them into songs for the record.

The deluxe edition will additionally feature bonus song 'Hold You Up', plus acoustic versions of 'My Own Little World', 'One Less' and 'The Reason For The World', audio commentary from Matthew on the heart behind the record and the stories behind key songs, plus a bonus DVD including a making-of documentary and two music videos, 'The Motions' and 'Save A Place For Me'.

In preparation for the album iTunes will be featuring a weekly countdown with a single premiere and podcasts for three weeks leading up to the release. The countdown is launching this week with the release of 'Strong Enough', a song inspired by a letter from a single mother of three children after her daughter survived a life threatening car accident and struggled with the long road to recovery. Download on iTunes (US only).

iTunes will then debut 'To Me' on 21st September as well as 'One Less' on 28th September.
