Matt Maher Announces New Album 'All The People Said Amen'
Matt Maher will release his fourth album 'All The People Said Amen' on 23rd April 2013. The album fuses the popularity of his vibrant live show with several new studio cuts, offering fans an assortment of writing and performance styles.
Produced by Paul Moak and Maher, the album includes nine concert versions of fan favorites such as 'Your Grace Is Enough', 'Hold Us Together' and 'It Is Good', recorded throughout 2012 at stops including the University of Notre Dame campus, Detroit and St. Louis. These rare live cuts are paired with four new original recordings, including lead radio single, 'Lord, I Need You' and the high-energy worship anthem, 'Burning In My Soul' which made a powerful debut during Passion 2013 conference at the Georgia Dome, attended by more than 60,000 college students.
"This project," offers Maher, "is a real collage of who I am musically. You'll hear intimate worship songs, anthemic praise tunes often sung and shouted aloud together in unison, and celebratory songs that inspire the whole church. I wanted to deliver something for everyone, and this set captures what my music and ministry have been, where it is, and where it's headed."
Unity and community define Maher's music and ministry, represented by the menagerie of songs on 'All The People Said Amen', and also shown in the album's cover art. For it, Maher created a visual scrapbook made up of special moments, placed purposefully, including old tour posters, handwritten lyrics from songwriting sessions, live and candid shots with fans, even his own wedding photos. Every item has a story behind it and is a significant part of Maher's songwriting over the last 7 years.
Maher will headline the 'All The People Tour' throughout April, featuring Chris August and Bellarive and presented by Compassion International.
