Matthew West & Anne Wilson Unite For Stunning Duet Rendition Of “Me On Your Mind”
Matthew West and Anne Wilson unite for a new duet version of West’s latest hit “Me On Your Mind” – available now across all streaming and digital platforms. Wilson’s striking vocals are a natural addition to the song as she also served as a co-writer on the track with West and Jeff Pardo.
The original version of the song graces the top of the Mediabase Christian Airplay chart for its third consecutive week and previously spent two weeks atop the Billboard Christian Airplay Chart. It also marks West’s 25th number one song combined as an artist and songwriter. Earlier this week, West was among the top nominee earners for the GMA Dove Awards with a total of seven – including two as a songwriter for Song of the Year. The awards will take place in Nashville, TN on October 18.
“Me On Your Mind” is available now.
“I’ve written a lot of songs these past couple of years with my friends Anne Wilson and Jeff Pardo for Anne’s debut record. Together we’ve experienced a special creative connection that’s not always easy to find,” shares West. “I had this idea for a song called ‘Me on Your Mind,’ that was rolling around in my head the whole time we were writing another song one day. As we finished that song and Anne began heading for the door, I told them about this other idea. She sat back down and we wrote a song that makes me cry every time I sing it! It was only fitting to put a version out featuring my friend, collaborator, and incredibly talented young artist, Anne Wilson. I am so excited for people to hear her voice on this!”
“I’m so grateful for the Dove award nominations! The Dove Awards are always a very special night honoring the work God has done through Christ-centered music that I’m passionate about making,” adds West. “To be recognized in any way is just a great confirmation that maybe someone out there is listening to these songs I write and the message of hope in Jesus is resonating with them. That always has been and always will be why I do what I do.”
