pato May 19, 2023 0

Matthew West has earned two K-Love Fan Award nominations including his first-ever nomination for Artist of the Year as well as Male Artist of the Year, a title he claimed at last year’s show. The “Christian music star” (FoxNews) is also set to make multiple appearances throughout K-Love Fan Awards Weekend.

This year’s show will take place on May 28 at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tenn. with a June 3 airdate on TBN.

“K-LOVE Fan Awards weekend is a highlight of every year,” exclaims West. “I’m honored to be nominated this year, and the fact that it’s a fan-voted award makes it so much more meaningful.”

West, “one of Christian music’s most prolific singer-songwriters” (Billboard), also announces that his next radio single will be fan-favorite “You Changed My Name,” going for ads on June 23. The powerful song comes from his latest release, his double album, MY STORY YOUR GLORY.

“I’m so excited for the release of ‘You Changed My Name’ to radio,” shares West. “The theme of my whole album is about how to make the most of the one story we each get to write with our lives. And in order to live out the most fulfilling story, there’s nothing more essential than to know our true identity.

Every created thing has a creator. This song is a three-minute reminder of what our Creator says about us and an invitation to walk in our truest God-given identity.”

Composed of 22 tracks, the first part of the double album, MY STORY, embodies the countless stories fans have shared with the songwriter over the years as well as personal experiences, and the second part, YOUR GLORY, marks the first official Gospel worship album.

The accompanying video for “You Changed My Name” was released earlier this year, serving as a display of fellow worshipers coming together joyfully as chosen children of God.
