Louder Than The Music

The latest album from Michael W. Smith, 'Wonder' is released today, 28th September 2010. With 12 new songs, 'Wonder' shows the legendary and multi-talented singer, songwriter, producer and composer pursuing life and faith with a genuine sense of curiosity, gratitude and determination. Intent to explore the world and his own heart as deeply as he can, Smith again lays bare his life for his listeners, sharing his thoughts, hopes and emotions on his newest and most compelling collection of songs.

The album see's Smith re-teaming with longtime collaborator and producer Bryan Lenox (Freedom, This Is Your Time) to bring forth a rich, sonically expansive record. Smith also partners with several new songwriters for the album (Kyle Lee, Michael Farren, Michael Olson, Stu G - formerly of Delirious?), as well as highly respected names like Matt Maher, Tommy Sims and Matthew West, among others.

Two songs provide a vulnerable lens into the intimacy of marriage as Smith speaks candidly of his feelings for wife Debbie: 'You Belong to Me' tells of his love-at-first-sight encounter while 'Forever Yours' reflects his romantic life-pledge. Another cut, 'Welcome Home', delves into both the deep grief of losing Debbie's grandmother and the unrestrained joy of knowing she’s now arrived where she truly belongs.

Other highlight tracks include the project's anthemic first single, 'Save Me From Myself', plus songs like 'Take My Breath Away', 'Leave', 'Run to You' and the prayerful, moving album closer, 'Take Me Over'.
