gospel | Jul 18, 2007 | Comments 0

Jonathan Butler released his new gospel project, Brand New Day. This collection, written entirely by Jonathan Butler, celebrates the blessing of life and the power of God’s faithfulness on the journey. The title track, “Brand New Day,” sets the tone, expressing the joy of a man fulfilled and is an invigorating, exciting jewel. Brand New Day is a treat for longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Jonathan Butler’s second Maranatha! Music project, Brand New Day, is a collection of uplifting and empowering Gospel songs. Co-produced with Luther “Mano” Hanes, who has work with some of gospel music’s pioneers like (CeCe Winans, Andrae Crouch, Israel Houghton), the CD brings a new sound to Jonathan Butler, yet never veers too far away from the classic styling he’s best known for.

Jonathan Butler shines on the reflective and emotive “Mercy.” Performed with his daughter Jodie, the lyrics speak tenderly of one of God’s most notable characteristics. The artist’s love affair with the guitar shines through on the smooth, silky notes of “Tell Me (Do You Still Love Jesus).” The sparse instrumentation and Jonathan Butler’s deeply moving vocals plead for an answer on this introspective cut.

Brand New Day is a wonderful expression of the faith that has helped Jonathan Butler get through the many long and dark points in his life. Reflects Butler, “It’s amazing to look back on my life, at the way it has unfolded. The hardships, the set-backs, the triumphs, all of it. It makes me grateful…grateful for my life as it is now, but also grateful for the journey. For being given these extraordinary life experiences. For making everyday, for me, a brand new day.”
