Matt Maher to Release 4th Album, “All The People Said Amen” / Most “Revealing” Album Yet
Matt Maher fans are excited. The two-time Grammy nominated singer/songwriter is set to release his most "revealing" album yet. His fourth album, All The People Said Amen is scheduled for an April 23rd release. The new album won't be a departure but instead a blend of Maher's strengths.
"This project, is a real collage of who I am musically," says Maher of the new album. "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."
For the album artwork Maher visually represented a collage of special moments and memories. Items include old tour posters, lyrics, and photos with fans. Even photos from his own wedding made it on the cover. The cover art is supposed to represent his songwriting over the last seven years.
Maher made sure to include fan favorites like, "Your Grace Is Enough", "Hold Us Together" and "It Is Good" but also added live versions for 4 new tracks like the quickly rising radio single, "Lord, I Need You". The single released earlier this month is already garnering favorable reviews.
Jeremy Henryof JQ99 in Grand Rapids commented, "I pulled the trigger on Matt's song because I really feel that my audience is?craving and connecting with worship music right now. 'Lord, I Need You' is another one for the arsenal..."
