Micah Stapley To Release New Album “Ransomed”: On Interface Records

November 3rd, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Interface Recording artist Micah Stampley will release his third CD “Ransomed” on November 11.

Micah Stampley’s powerful, multi-octave voice was recorded live (with the exception of two songs) in late summer at the Greater Travelers Rest Baptist Church in Decatur, Georgia in front of an audience of over 2,000 people.

The 16-track (with reprises) project showcases the Houston-based artists’ staggering vocal power and sensitivity.

“I believe that God is opening doors for me to do mission work that is in my heart to do, and this CD is allowing me to accomplish that by getting outside of the four-wall structure of the church and compelling man to have the same experience that I have with the Lord,” says Stampley. “The CD is a mix of different styles-it is not all contemporary, not all praise and worship, not all traditional-but will appeal to a diverse audience and includes something the older generation will be able to listen to as well as the younger generation. I like to think of it like a pot of gumbo-everyone can dig into the pot and get what they want and need.”

The overall meaning behind “Ransomed” is to be saved from sin and to focus on a message of freedom, hope and grace. The first single to be released from the CD is “Corinthian Song,” the song Micah Stampley performed that won him the Stellar Awards Gospel Talent Search, launching his career in Gospel music five years ago.

The ballad, written by award-winning and acclaimed V. Michael McKay (Yolanda Adams, Darryl Coley, Vanessa Bell Armstrong), was taken from 2 Corinthians 4:7-10, written by Apostle Paul. The lyrics address the struggles and victories that we all go through in life, which may have you cast down but not destroyed, and is a reminder that there is always an escape through the strength that only comes from the Lord.

Micah Stampley, along with his wife Heidi, co-wrote the majority of the songs on the project including the title track “Ransomed,” a lively, upbeat and energetic song about redemption, grace, mercy, and the love of God.

“This song was written with the belief that the organization of church has become very commercialized today,” states Stampley. “Many of the churches and ministries have forgotten why we are saved and are not focused on reaching the downtrodden. This is a reminder that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Hopefully this song will spark something in the leaders of the church. People’s view of Christianity is distorted, so we need to get back to saving souls.”
