Coming
out of a year filled with life transition on every front, Price poured
his thoughts, emotions and prayers onto paper forming the blueprint for
the songs found on the six-track set, which features five original
cuts—all co-written and produced by Price—and one acoustic selection.
While he enlisted the help of veteran songwriters Sue C. Smith, Tony
Wood and Michael Farren and newcomer Sarah Wood to bring the tracks on Dream to life, Price’s personal experience shaped the fresh collection of songs.
The
title track speaks to the desires and passions that God plants deep
within our souls to equip us for our callings in life and encourages
listeners to dream with the Creator. Meanwhile, “Falling Into You” was
the result of Price and his wife leaving the comforts of their life in
Atlanta to make the move to Nashville to pursue music. Marrying his wife
five years ago inspired “Beautiful Now,” which poignantly defies the
lies culture feeds women about beauty and identity, reminding them that
they were uniquely created by the Maker of the universe. The song’s
relevant message has already struck a chord with listeners and was
featured on KLTY’s “New Music Cafe,” an hour-long syndicated radio
program that spotlights music from up-and-coming musicians.
“The ideas and themes that you hear on Dream
were born out of the many triumphs, as well as the deepest struggles of
my life over the past couple of years,” Price shares. “To take these
ideas—chapters straight out of my story—and turn them into songs with
some of the most legendary writers in the industry was an incredible
honor. This record is a true reflection of who I am as an artist, and I
am so excited to be releasing it.”
Price is currently booking dates for 2016. For more information, visit www.mattpriceonline.com.
