.StevenCurtis talks about 'Still,' his first new album of contemporary Christian album in nearly a decade.
in 2019. “The worship record was a side thing, different from what I typically do,” he says, “and the bluegrass record was a passion project, something I’d always wanted to do — but again, it was different.”
Chapman acknowledges that attention spans today are short, and geared toward streaming individual songs, while he’s always liked to tell long stories. But these days, he laments, “People don’t even read the whole book. I’m a storyteller. I want to take you on a journey.
Chapman is appreciative of his young producers helping him frame this collection of songs in the best possible light, because they are all so personal — including addressing such significant life challenges as the death of a close friend, his brother-in-law losing his battle after being diagnosed with five brain tumors, and of course, the pandemic. “I couldn’t have written these songs five years ago. I wouldn’t have had this perspective,” says Chapman, who turns 60 next month.
Though he’s hopeful the song will do well at radio, as a veteran of 35 years in the business, Chapman is realistic. “I’ve been told, ‘Radio loves you, but you’re fighting a battle against your own history — because there’s recurrent songs, and quite a few No. 1s,” says Chapman, who has had 49 No. 1s.
