Centricity Music recording group Unspoken released its first new project in four years, God Help Me, available at digital and streaming outlets here. The five-song EP features the title track, which is the current radio single ascending the charts, and an official music video that has been viewed over 878,000 times on YouTube alone.
Written by Unspoken's lead vocalist Chad Mattson and bassist Jon Lowry along with GRAMMY-nominated songwriter Jeff Pardo, "God Help Me" is a cry inspired by scripture (Psalm 18:6) and the insurmountable challenges people encounter.
"'God Help Me' is about those desperate moments in life where all we can do is cry out to God," says Mattson. "We've been there, so many times. Prayer changes things because God loves us and hears our cries.
"If you're in a place of desperation, or know someone who is, we hope this song encourages you," adds Mattson. "We are praying that the Lord impacts you and the people in your lives through 'God Help Me' in powerful ways."
Mattson gives an inside look at where "God Help Me" came from on the band's Facebook, while Lowry and band members Ariel Munoz (drums) and Matthew Callaway (keys) each share their own 'God help me' moments.
Along with "God Help Me," the new EP features "Love Is Everything We Need" and "More Church Than Church," a pop song of recovery co-written by and featuring Mattson and GRAMMY Awards-nominated, multi-Platinum-selling artist Walker Hayes. Both singers/songwriters have remarkable stories of recovery from addiction. Mattson, who has been transparent as a songwriter that he has battled addiction, is now celebrating two decades into his sobriety.
"With this record, we want to encourage the body to live what the Word of God says, to believe what it says, and to stand up for what it says," shares Mattson. "The whole goal is to encourage each other in the faith."
The new EP follows 2019's acclaimed, bestselling album Reason, which sparked several radio hits, including the multiformat No. 1 title track and Top 20 singles "You've Always Been" and "Just Give Me Jesus."
