Album Of The Day: 10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman

Album Art of Matt Redman's Ten Thousand Reasons album - On a canvas with many different colored lines of mixed paint, the background is some very light-colored strokes of paint, but the middle is a large circle of mostly dark colors with the occasional splotch of bright colored paint in various colors. It looks like a large mass of dark colors with dark and brightly colored lines bursting out of it. It's a cacophony of paint on a canvas. Printed above the circle in the middle in white is the album title in large letters, with the artist name below it in a smaller, yellow text.

Released 15 years ago today, this is the tenth album of new songs by British worship leader Matt Redman. Matt Redman has been leading praise and worship at churches and around the world for over 30 years now, and with this album and all his albums since, he has recorded his albums live with an audience singing along to the songs, whereas many of his previous albums were recorded in a studio in a more traditional manner. This album is full of quality songs of worship and praise to God by this artist who has written some of the most popular modern songs sung by churches today. "10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)", is still a top song sung in churches around the world, and the chorus of worshipers singing behind Matt and the band creates a nice vibe. I really enjoy the mix of styles of songs here, as the title track and "Holy" are more mid-tempo, but songs like "Here For You", "We Are The Free" and "We Could Change The World" are upbeat, driving praise songs. At an hour long it's by no means a short album, but it doesn't really drag on like some of today's modern worship albums. This is one of my favorite and most-listened-to releases from this long-time Christian artist, and you might want to give it a listen and be blessed by the lyrics.
