Worship Minister Brings Fresh New Music Inspired by Catholic Faith

St Louis, MO, February 17, 2010-ALBIE Entertainment, the management company representing Modern Rock/Worship music minister Michael James Mette, is pleased to announce the release of ALWAYS WHAT I NEED, a collection of fresh new music inspired by the artist’s Catholic faith. These songs address the prevalent issues and questions that teenagers are faced with today. Through his life experience as a music minister, and working with teens and young adults, Michael James Mette continues to hear a common theme in these questions asked by everyone. “What is this life for?”

The fundamental choice between doubt and faith is addressed in original songs (penned by Mette) like "Know Love Serve" and "This is Our Lamb", while "Always What I Need" and "Prepare Me" point to a reliance on God's providence.  With an energy and style that cuts through the apathy of a "Guitar Hero" generation, Michael's timeless message finds a comfortable niche for the youth of the Church. Other songs covered on the album include new twists on classic praise and worship songs like “Open the Eyes of My Heart”, and “Lord I Lift your Name on High”. There is also a driving, modern take of “Where the Streets Have No Name”  (made popular by mainstream artist U2) and a terrific sing-a-long (penned by Mette) sure to be embraced by youth groups everywhere titled “I’ve Got the Joy”. ALWAYS WHAT I NEED, produced by award winner David C Smith of Icon Studios, is a collection of 10 songs sure to inspire a new generation of leaders in the church and will clearly become an effective resource tool for youth ministers. 

ALWAYS WHAT I NEED will be available through CD Baby, Catholic Music Network and other Christian and mainstream distribution outlets. The digital version of the album is available through mycatholicvoice.com, iTunes and other download channels.
