NEW RELEASE "STAND" COMES NOVEMBER
Not content to sit still, in his creative processes or in his
relationships, GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter/producer Michael W. Smith
challenges listeners to find their own calls to respond, within the content of his
latest album Stand, which releases November 7.
Through his church work away from the public spotlight, amid the new
interaction that having children growing into young adulthood brings,
and in the viewing of a world crying out for answers, Smith takes a
stand and asks listeners to join him. Stand issues a call.
“It is a call to stand outside of the walls of the church, rubbing shoulders with the lost,” Michael says
of the new project. “It is a call to stand because you’ve captured a
glimpse of something so powerful you cannot stay seated. It is a call
to stand for the One who gave it all.”
Stand releases to retail through Smith’s longtime
label home Reunion Records and also marks a number of creative firsts for the veteran artist.
- It’s the first project on which Smith hasn’t served in a lone-production capacity, turning
to seasoned producer Matt Bronleewe to craft the overall direction of the tracks.
- It’s the first studio project where Smith has recorded songs he
hasn’t written or co-written, turning to collaborators such as Bronleewe,
longtime friend Amy Grant, fast-rising songwriter Leeland Mooring
and even his own son Tyler Smith for contributions.
- It’s the fastest-paced production effort Smith has been involved with, 40 days
from start to finish, necessitated by the early 2006 Smith experienced as he
promoted The Second Chance, his acting debut in a feature film.
- Michael has never issued a call like this before. He’s challenged us
to “Live the Life” and has inspired us through albums
including, “This is Your Time” and “Healing Rain.” For
years, he has led us in worship – but he has never said, “I’m taking a stand. Will
you join me?”
Smith will support Stand
with a fall tour hitting nearly two dozen cities, as well as his annual
Christmastime Symphony Tour, scheduled for 17 cities in November and
December.
