Sovereign by Michael W. Smith

Sovereign is Michael W. Smith's release from 2014, music made for a room full of voices. It runs to 56 minutes across 12 tracks on Sparrow. I came to it well after release and have returned to it since.

Why listen?

The songs are written to be sung together, plain words set to broad, rising melodies. The arrangements leave room for a crowd and never get in the way. It is music made to join rather than only to hear.

Favourite song: You Won't Let Go

You Won't Let Go is the high point of the record, the moment where everything comes together. It is the reason to start here.

You are the anchor for my soul
You won't let go, You won't let go
No matter what may come, I know
You won't let go
You won't let go

Key takeaway

Sovereign is a rewarding listen. Worth seeking out.
