The Michael W. Smith Project by Michael W. Smith

The Michael W. Smith Project is Michael W. Smith's release from 1983, craft and polish in every chorus. It runs to 41 minutes across 11 tracks on Reunion. I came to it well after release and have returned to it since.

Why listen?

The songs are bright and well made, each one built around a strong hook. The production is clean and the melodies carry the weight. It is craft you can hear on the first listen.

Favourite song: Great Is the Lord

Great Is the Lord is the track I return to, the clearest statement of what the album is doing. It earns its place on the album.

Great is the Lord
And worthy of glory
Great is the Lord
And worthy of praise
Great is the Lord
Now lift up your voice
Now lift up your voice
Great is the Lord

Key takeaway

The Michael W. Smith Project is well worth your time. Give it a listen.
