Crossing music genres and denominational lines with songs that promote spiritual maturity and journey, Christian record label Waterwalk Records welcomes singer-songwriter Jason Marvin into its roster.
His new single "Gain" asserts it's easier to weather storms in life when faith is intact and strong.
Marvin credits the Higher Being when he was looking for material that directly speaks about his current situation: "He led me to Matthew 16:24-28 to remind me that nothing in this world will ever compare to being with Him. And that even if I lose all earthly treasures, but I still have God, then I have everything."
With subtle instrumentation and feathery, acoustic guitar, "Gain" flows with calmness, warmth and peace. It has a level of intimacy that's brittle and soft on the edges, but sturdy in its sense of optimism and faith.
"I made sure it would sound like a worship session among a small group of believers, rather than a super clean studio," Marvin said.
To record the song, he tapped his friends and colleagues in faith, namely: EJ de Perio on keyboards; Victor Noora, bass and electric guitars; and Luke Sigua, drums.
"I approached them individually and instructed them on how to go about the song exactly how I envisioned it," said Marvin.
He arranged and produced the track with Victor Noora. It was mixed by Shadiel Chan and mastered by Jan Fuertez.
Waterwalk Records is a music label focused on bringing fresh Christian music to a new, streaming generation.
Its vision is to create a hub for Christian music in Asia that serves artists and writers who are creating ground-breaking music and impacting the lives of millions. The Christian label is part of Sony Music Entertainment.
