Big Daddy Weave’s 10th album, Let It Begin, features songs of loss, hurt, joy, and celebration. It’s a tribute to former bandmate, Jay Weaver, who died in 2022, and was the brother of lead singer Mike Weaver. The album offers two No. 1 hits: “Heaven Changes Everything” and the powerful anthem “God is in This Story” with Katy Nichole. The latter chorus states: “God is in this story; God is in the details; Even in the broken parts; He holds my heart, He never fails; When I'm at my weakest; I will trust in Jesus; Always in the highs and lows; The One who goes before me; God is in this story.” Other notable tunes include “I’ve Just Seen Too Much,” a moving ballad about God’s provision in difficult times and God’s faithfulness; “This is Not the End,” a Caribbean-infused song looking forward to heaven; and “My Hope is Jesus.” Besides Nichole, an impressive guest list includes Zach Williams. Jason Gray, Ben Fuller, and Megan Woods. This album, Big Daddy Weave’s first since 2019, displays grief and restoration in a hopeful way. (Curb Records)
