Michael W. Smith Re-Imagines ‘Worship’ Album With A Full Symphony Orchestra & Special Guests
Iconic multi-platinum, singer and songwriter Michael W. Smith has re-recorded and is re-releasing his #1 highest-selling album of all time, Worship, in honor of the 20th anniversary of the album’s release on September 11, 2001. Worship Forever will re-imagine the album from start to finish, this time, with a full symphony orchestra.
Worship Forever was recorded in front of a live audience at Allen Arena on July 12, 2021 in Nashville, TN and will be released on September 10, 2021.
Smith was joined on-stage for this special recording by friends: Amy Grant, Matt Redman and Tauren Wells.
Originally released on September 11, 2001, Worship offered hope during a time of despair and mourning.
Smith says, “The Worship record was a special one for me. From the recording live in Lakeland, Florida – to the release on 9/11– the day our nation was attacked. I’ve seen God use those songs and that music in ways I could have never dreamed. I’m so excited, now, to be reimagining this record – start to finish – with a full Symphony Orchestra. This is a very special recording from an incredible night.”Worship Track List:
