Jay Matthews Set To Release Debut Christian Album 'When Doves Cry'
Jay Matthews is set to release his debut Christian album 'When Doves Cry' on December 30th 2016. The album also features his brothers in Christ, Beacon Light and Steven Malcolm. The first single, 'Monster' is building up a buzz on Spotify and Youtube and the next single and video for 'Made You' will be airing soon.
The album has been two years in the making and features a lot of tracks that deal with Jay coming to the understanding that he needed Christ. "I had just come back from a tour that ended at SXSW, about to drop an EP, a new music video, and head back out on the road. Then massive panic attacks and anxiety started hitting. I had a few unexplainable things happen that you would probably call me crazy for.
But I had a lot of time to think and get my head together and I realized one thing; I was a lost soul. Of course I had a great Fiance, an amazing son, and supportive family, but a major piece was still missing. Eventually I came to the realization that I went way off the path I wanted to go on and I needed to have a long hard talk with God. Get right with God and make music that the 14 year old me would be proud of. I went back to the drawing board let the God use me and restart everything.
I relate to everyone who is struggling with their faith. I relate to people who turn from god because they are mad at him. I relate to people who know the bible inside and out but still don't have a relationship with God. In today's world being a Christian is tough. Temptations are everywhere. Pain is going to happen. Christ died for all our sins and through him you can rise above all. This album is me putting everything on the table and I hope you love it."
