Centricity Music recording artist Unspoken launches its declarative, soulful anthem “You’ve Always Been” to radio as the follow up to the multiformat No.1 Billboard hit single and title track from the band’s acclaimed, full-length and third album Reason that is available now at physical, digital and streaming outlets globally.

Receiving more than 165 million on-demand streams, 110 million music video views, 350,000 album sales and 850,000 track sales, Unspoken continues to additionally receive significant radio airplay nationally. With “Reason” not only topping the charts after releasing last summer, but also locking the No. 1 position for five consecutive weeks at Christian radio, “You’ve Always Been” is poised for similar success.

“You’ve Always Been” was born when Unspoken lead singer Chad Mattson woke up at 2:00 am one night and began watching an old, 50s-era gospel music group performing in black and white on TV.

“The singer of the group was blind and was vamping on how God had been his eyes,” says Mattson. “I was moved in that moment, thinking how that is so true for my own life. Everything I’ve needed, everything I’ve really needed, God has been for me.”





Stirred by God’s provisions, even amidst painful battles against anxiety and insecurity, as well as depression among his family members, Mattson wrote the lyrics for “You’ve Always Been,” a soulful declaration of God’s constant, dependable presence.

Along with the new Tedd T. (for KING & COUNTRY)-produced radio single, the “You’ve Always Been” video was directed by Max Hsu (Superchick) and filmed in Unspoken drummer Ariel Munoz’s hometown in Puerto Rico. Shot impromptu through the night as the band scouted for a place to record its “Human Condition” video, “You’ve Always Been,” which has already received more than 500,000 views, ends metaphorically with the sun rising for the new day.

You’ve been my savior, sustainer

When I’m at my end

My healer, redeemer

Again and again

My mother and my father

Brother, sister and friend

Everything I’ve needed, Lord

You’ve always been

 (“You’ve Always Been” chorus)

Like Unspoken’s videos and radio hits from the album, Reason showcases raw, authentic songs written out of the hard stuff of life alongside the band’s pop musicality for which it has become known.

Taking its innovative new music, hit songs and fan favorites on tour, the band headlines events this month before joining The Roadshow 2020 arena tour presented by Compassion Live in March. Upcoming dates include:

About Unspoken:

Unspoken’s music is as distinct as its roots. Its soulful, pop-flavored songs are led by the Adam Levine-esque vocals of Chad Mattson. With no fear of mixing it up, whether backed by a horn section, gospel choir or hip-hop rhythms, the band released its self-titled album in 2014. The album featured “Start A Fire,” the band’s first radio single and No. 1 AC hit that launched them into headliner positions on tour the following year. The band’s sophomore album, Follow Through (2016), debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Top Christian Album Chart while its current album, Reason (2019), sparked the band’s biggest, multiformat No. 1 hit so far, “Reason.” In all, Unspoken has had five straight Top 5 AC hits, including “Who You Are,” “Lift My Life Up” and “Good Fight.” Having toured with Casting Crowns, Mercy Me, Big Daddy Weave, Danny Gokey and more, Unspoken band members are living out their mission to be unspoken testimonies to God’s love and power, and to speak what oftentimes goes unspoken.
