Popular singer-songwriter Michael W. Smith released his first song in three years, \u201cA Million Lights,\u201d today through digital music outlets and streaming services. The song, which premiered during his recent 20-city Revolution tour, incorporates the GRAMMY and Dove-Award winner\u2019s signature\u00a0sound with a modern pop sensibility.

\u201cI don\u2019t recall being this excited about a single in a long time,\u201d says Smith. \u201cI\u2019m very happy with how \u2018A Million Lights\u2019 has turned out and am anxious to get it from my studio out into the world! I believe the message of this song will be inspiring to everyone who hears it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith, who has sold more than 32 million albums, frequently switches genres, alternating in recent years between worship, Christmas, orchestral, and pop, which he has been mostly known for during his Christian music career of more than 30 years. \u201cA Million Lights\u201d seems to signal a pop direction for the upcoming record.<\/p>\n
