“‘So Good To Me’ just had to be on the record,” says Mattson. “The Lord has been so good to us. We had to write songs that shared that.”

From beginning to end, the project not only reflects their gratitude for God’s grace in their lives; but also their sonic latitude, with each track an infusion of pop, hip hop and rock that reflects an even wider range of influences compared to their debut album.

“My hope is to write half the records for the fans we already have, and half the record for new fans and new people—whomever they may be,” explains Mattson.

New and old fans alike will have plenty of chances to hear the new song when Unspoken hits the road later this year on a headlining tour alongside label mates and friends, Carrolton and Tyrus Morgan. They’ll then join a Christmas tour with Crowder and Steven Curtis Chapman before heading out with Casting Crowns and Danny Gokey in the Spring of 2017.

“I’m really excited for people to hear this music,” Mattson continues. “It’s a growth that has the DNA of who we are in it…there are some really cool things that are going to be awesome for Christian music.”

As passionate as he is about the music, though, Mattson’s first love is evident, as are his priorities.
