Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, and recording artist Michael Bethany drops his much awaited Overflow, the first album from Gateway Music. The full-length CD was captured live at The King’s University at Gateway Southlake and is now accessible at https://gatewayworship.lnk.to/overflow at digital and streaming retailers around the world.
Overflow, a live worship performance with a global sound of worship, was produced by Ryan Rich and Kyle Lee (Michael W. Smith, TobyMac, CeCe Winans). It was born out of Michael’s own overflow of connection with God.
“In 2017, I was in my prayer closet and the Holy Spirit gave me a word about doing this new album and to call it Overflow,” shares Michael. “As overflow was eventually becoming the theme of my life, where out of intimacy everything would overflow, I made a commitment to stay in that place, making it the anchor of my life. Literally, almost every song on the new album came out of prayer, an intimate time with God.”
One of those songs, “Fill the Room,” and the accompanying music video, both of which are being released today, calls out for the tangible manifestation of the Holy Spirit and for the truth of God to permeate every moment and location of worship. The song’s exuberant chorus and lengthier worship flow make it possible for listeners to spend more time in God’s presence.
Similar to “Fill the Room,” “He Is Lord” is intended to take listeners into the throne chamber of God’s awesome presence, while “Ask Me Why,” the jubilant testimony and lead single from Overflow, considers God’s faithfulness. “Ask Me Why” is a song that was co-written by Grammy-winning composers Mitch Wong and Mia Fieldes that masterfully combines the sounds of modern and Gospel music.
