Wow, doesn’t time seem to just fly on by? I can remember when 2008 seemed so far away and now here we are in the midst of it. This is a little late, but all of us here at MICHAELSWEET.COM pray for your new year to blessed and focused on all that the Lord has for you.
As I sit at my computer putting this article together, it’s really just one word that sums it all up for me. That one word is "Touched". Many of you have been fortunate to grab yourself a copy of Michael’s new CD, "Touched". Many of you were not so fortunate to get your hands on a copy before it sold out. The good news is that more are on the way and some retailers have this CD in stock. If you don’t yet have your copy, I assure you, it will be on the top of your play list from the first time you listen to it! It’s unlike any other musical project that has come from Michael.

"Touched" could be described as being many things, but to me it’s magical. It has a way of reaching in to the very center of your heart. Musically, it is a masterpiece. Vocally, it is simply brilliant. But it’s the story behind this CD that makes it so moving. It’s a privilege that Michael and Kyle have let us into such an intimate and private place in their lives through this CD. It’s not just songs that you hear when pushing the play button on your music player, it’s the deep love between a Godly man and a Godly woman, who are dealing with the most difficult time of their lives. Because of the story behind the music, I feel comfortable in assuming that my wife and I are not the only ones who have shed a few tears while listening to "Touched".
I would have to say that “My Love, My Life, My Flame” is my fave. It’s new and fresh, written specifically for now and for this album. It ties all of their struggles and all of their love together, which is where I get that word magical. It’s also thrilling to get four classic Stryper songs all made new for us. After all of these years, those songs are still so moving. Michael did a fantastic job taking them from being 100% awesome fan favorites, to a place way above that. Again, just incredible. You also have to factor in the other classics that are on the track listing too. Who else can take such timeless songs, performed by some of the world’s mega stars, and allow them to be his own. Thanks Michael for yet another set of songs to feed our cravings for more of your music.
God bless you all and remember to always check back at MICHAELSWEET.COM for all of the most accurate and updated Michael Sweet news and information. I would ask that you continue to keep the Sweet family in your prayers and don’t forget to tell everyone about "Touched"!
Until Next Time,
Matt J
