MEREDITH ANDREWS Worth It All
street date: January 22, 2013 Order due date: January 4, 2013 File Under: PWCPXX genre: Praise & Worship/Pop Contemporary Box Lot: 30 Pkg: Jewel Album Overview “Only Jesus is worthy of it all. My life, my heart, my every breath, my authentic love, my worship. He is everything. He is Worth It All.” – Meredith Andrews Worth It All is a potent collection of songs that celebrate God’s sovereignty and share Andrews’ deep and unwavering faith. Listeners have already embraced the lead single “Not for a Moment (After All).” Penned by Andrews, her husband Jacob Sooter and Mia Fieldes, the gorgeous ballad features a heartstirring vocal performance. “I always feel like every record, God gives me a song about the fact that He’s not going to leave us,” Andrews says. “With my first record it was ‘You’re Not Alone.’ On the second record it was ‘Can Anybody Hear Me?’ and on this one it is ‘Not For A Moment (After All).’” The album includes reminders of God’s majesty and grace in songs like “Your Kingdom Reigns,” a powerful anthem that opens a door to the throne room as Andrews sings, “You are our portion, our promise forever Your Kingdom reigns.” “When you get to the bridge, that’s my favorite part. It’s like that fist pump moment,” Andrews says with a smile. A native of Wilson, NC, Meredith’s parents took in many foster children and adopted three boys who became her beloved brothers. Music was always an integral part of the Andrews home and little Meredith began singing in church at age six. While majoring in Family and Child Development at Liberty University, Andrews felt God calling her into music ministry. After school, she relocated to Chicago and began leading worship at Harvest Bible Chapel. Her incredible vocal gift and intuitive songwriting abilities caught the attention of Word Record executives who invited her into the label family in 2008. Her label debut, The Invitation, released in April 2009 and the stirring single “You’re Not Alone” helped propel Andrews into the national spotlight. Her sophomore album, As Long As it Takes, bowed in March 2010 and the following spring it was named Worship Album of the Year at the Gospel Music Association’s Dove Awards. “How Great is the Love” earned the Dove Award for Worship Song of the Year.
