Matthew West Reveals 'Live Forever' Album Cover, Tour Dates & Release Date [SEE HERE]
Multiple-GRAMMY nominee, Matthew West took to social media to reveal the cover art of his upcoming album, Live Forever and give fans the expected street date.
West released his first single, "Day One," off of Live Forever at the top of the year and it is already climbing the radio charts. It was the most-added song at AC radio the week of release. Check out the lyrics video below.
Live Forever is set to release April 28 on Capitol Christian Music Group. West continues his mission to tell a story of a different kind with his music - to transform listeners' stories into life-changing songs. With more than 30,000 stories collected since 2009 from every state in the U.S. and more than 20 countries around the world, he has a very unique connection with his fans.
West asked fans to submit stories to him on social media and he continues to receive them daily. He was motivated to pen his third album based on these inspirations.
"As stories pour in by the thousands, I am reminded that not only is there something special taking place, but that my life has been influenced by each story read," explains West in a press release, "My eyes are opened to see the world outside my door like I have never witnessed before."
West's critically-acclaimed releases The Story of Your Life (2009) and Into The Light (2012) were inspired by the personal stories submitted, garnering attention from CNN Online, The New York Times, Fox News, Billboard, Country Weekly, American Songwriter, among others. The Story of Your Life featured the multiple week No. 1 song "Strong Enough." Into The Light produced the No. 1 singles "Forgiveness" and "Hello My Name Is," which was No. 1 on the National Christian radio chart for 17 weeks straight. The song officially broke the record for the most weeks at No. 1, and "Do Something" charted Top 5 at radio.
This spring, West will headline the 40-city Live Forever Tour hitting the Midwest, southwest and northeast. See Dates Below and click links for tickets:
