The synth-heavy deluxe album finds brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone pledging to be the best versions of themselves for their wives, who each inspire them to strive for excellence every day. Acknowledging their faults, the men aspire to greater heights and stronger bonds, tracing a pattern of bold harmonies across more than three minutes of atmospheric rock. Says the Smallbones: “When you announce an album, you’re announcing a new era.
In some cases that era lasts for a year and a half to two years, and as artists, you realize that in that time there’s going to be new iterations that come about. The deluxe album takes everything that took place during that time and ties it all together. We feel that ‘WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? +’ is the culmination point of the last two years. It’s the ultimate version of the record.”
