Phil Wickham expresses love for God in every season

Celebrated artist Phil Wickham is back with a new album, Response.

His fourth release is out on October 4 and offers fans 11 tracks expressing the acceptance of God's love in any circumstance.

In the same way that the Psalms offer expressions of joy, sorrow, repentance, hope and victory, Wickham is hoping to give a voice to the appreciation and adoration of God in every chapter of life.

“When I see the different aspects of who God is in different situations of life, my response to that love can be seen as jumping for joy where other times I respond by saying, ‘You are Holy and I am not,’ humbled and falling on my face,” he said.

Wickham worked solely with longtime friend and producer Pete Kipley for his last three projects. This time he deliberately opened it out to give the worship more of a collective emphasis.

“There are more musicians playing on the record than I normally work with,” Wickham says.

“Multiple drummers, bass players, etc and I wrote with more people on this record hoping to have these songs be an expression of everybody’s heart not just mine.”
