Matthew West Plans New Album 'The Story Of Your Life'

Mar 11 2010

Matthew West has revealed plans to record a new album, titled 'The Story Of Your Life', featuring songs inspired by stories his fans send him about their own lives. The album will be the follow up to Matthew's hugely successful 2008 album 'Something To Say' which included the most-played song on Christian AC radio that year, 'You Are Everything'.

'The Story Of Your Life' will be Matthew's fourth full-length studio album and the singer is encouraging fans to send him their stories via his website as he beings the song writing process. "It's time to make a new record. It has been an amazing ride with the last one, 'Something to Say', and I'm so thankful for the people who have welcomed my songs into your lives. I've been thinking and praying about what God wants to say through the songs on the next record and I keep coming back to this one idea that I want to share with you. My songs have always been inspired by real life and moments that move me to write about them. Joy, pain, struggles, victories, loss, and people I meet along the way are all ingredients to the songs I write.

The next record is going to be called The Story of your Life. Every song on this record is going to be inspired by the stories of your lives. I will be giving you a chance to write to me and submit your story. The story can be about anything. A defining moment in your life. A difficult time you've faced. Your own personal testimony. Or even what God means to you. It could be anything. There are no boundaries or limitations. After I collect all of your stories, I will be spending the month of March in a cabin in Tennessee reading your stories and writing 'The Story of Your Life'. I excited to see what kinds of songs come out of this experience, and I am even more excited to share this journey with you. Let's tell the story of your life, together."
