Myron Butler & Levi Return With New Album "REVEALED...Live In Dallas"

| 2 Comments

 
cd_cover21.jpgMyron Butler & Levi returned to where it all started - Dallas, TX. Along with his long time vocal ensemble, Levi, Myron Butler went back to his hometown as the setting for his first ever live recording. The outcome was truly an evening of great expectations and of great results.

 

REVEALED Live In Dallas is an impressive collection of Myron Butler's unmistakable Urban Worship style and is a defining moment in his musical evolution. As the title indicates; Butler lays bare more of himself as an artist and as a minister, lyrically dissecting and understanding God's plan for us through song. A great mix of high-energy tunes and Sunday-morning ready songs with beautifully crafted worship ballads REVEALED Live In Dallas is Myron Butler's best work. The live atmosphere played to his and Levi's greatest strength -- ushering in the presence of the Lord in a spontaneous and responsive way. "It was so awesome to feed off the energy of the crowd ... our hometown crowd at that," said Butler. "It was a great opportunity to present what we normally do in our shows ... inviting God in."

What is quickly becoming Myron Butler's signature is the way he has been able to offer thematically important projects, giving his music depth and substance. Butler's smash single, 'Set Me Free,' explored liberation in knowing God, then he made us 'Stronger' which invited us to walk into our purpose in God. Butler presents 'Revealed' which unveils God's Word and His promise in a deeper way. The total sum of the albums' parts, make the whole central theme clear. Every song gives a different perspective and understanding to the common thread weaved throughout the album.

"The first two records' purpose was to empower the listener - the believer," said Butler. "This CD is us looking up to God. REVEALED is the central thing ... revealing His glory, His character. I want people to seek to know God on a deeper level and to spend time with Him."

Butler sets up each song on REVEALED as a way "to lyrically and spiritually connect to knowing who God is and to reveal God's character." The title track "Revealed," is a call to God for His glory and His presence. "I wanted to give the audience something high-energy that they would expect from Levi," said Butler. "And I wanted to marry the central theme with something the audience and the consumer can participate in ... I wanted a call and response kind of thing that brings in everyone."

Myron Butler ensures his music is Word-based and not just presentation-based. While his presentation is on point, vocally Levi are among the tightest and best ensembles in today's current gospel landscape and musically the band hits all the right notes especially on the exuberant offerings like "Revealed" and "Just Can't Live," it is Butler's lyrics that give life to his music ministry.

"It's more than just making good music," Butler explains. "I really push Levi to understand who God is and what He has for them individually ... we as a group study together, we dissect scriptures, share lessons from my Pastor (Bishop TD Jakes) and as a result it gives us all a different and more profound perspective on the Word of God."

On REVEALED, Butler manages to balance his distinct urban contemporary praise songs with Sunday morning ready church offerings. "I really centered this album to be something the church can touch; I wanted something specifically praise and worship teams can duplicate and sing in their church every Sunday morning." Butler said. "Speak Into The Atmosphere," is one such song. A definitively praise and worship song that is classically structured with call and response life changing lyrics.
