Surrounded by Michael W. Smith
Surrounded is Michael W. Smith's release from 2018, music made for a room full of voices. It runs to 74 minutes across 12 tracks on Rocketown. I reached it late and it has stayed with me.
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: Surrounded (Fight My Battles)
Surrounded (Fight My Battles) is the high point of the record, the moment where everything comes together. It earns its place on the album.
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
Key takeaway
Surrounded is well worth your time. Worth seeking out.
