Recorded earlier this year before the live entertainment industry shut down due to COVID-19, the project features six live recordings including West's version of the No. 1 hit "Nobody," which was originally recorded by Casting Crowns and West, who also co-wrote the song. Other songs on the new EP are his chart-topping "The God Who Stays," his current radio song "Truth Be Told," as well as "Hope Returns," "Without You," and "Love On The Radio," all of which are on West's latest studio recording, Brand New.
West previously shared about the EP, "Among the many things that have been taken away from us in 2020, live music has been pretty much shut down. Our tour buses have been parked, our production placed in storage, and the bands and crews have all been sent home for the most part. It's made me pretty sentimental lately, missing the beautiful moments that have taken place over the years on stage with audiences across this great country. So, I had this idea to gather some recordings from some of our most recent performances and put out Live Before The World Shut Down. Just listening to these recordings gets me excited to once again be able to gather together and when we do, I have a feeling we will all be singing louder than ever before giving thanks to the God who stays faithful and brings us through! In the meantime, maybe this little live EP can hold you over until we meet again on the road."
