Tides is the first studio album by California-based worship collective Bethel Music, [1] it is also the sixth album overall to be released. The album was released on September 3,2013 by the group's imprint label,Bethel Music. Daniel Mackenzie and Gabriel Wilson produced the album together. [2]
Brian Johnson had an interview with Marcus Hathcock,the editor-in-chief of NewReleaseToday. [3] When Hathcock questioned him about how the album's title and the imagery of the album cover came about,he responded saying:
I didn't arrive at it,actually. Some of our team members did. Actually I had a dream,though. I had a dream about turning tides. A lot of it,though,has to do with the season we're in. There's been a lot of coming,a lot of going with people—a totally different,shifting kind of season. I guess that's the creative way of saying what that season was. We had the idea last-minute to take the whole team to the coast and do the photo shoot at the water.
–Brian Johnson,NewReleaseToday [3]
In an interview with Sharefaith Magazine,Jenn Johnson spoke of the album having its origins in an encounter she had on a mountaintop, [4] saying:
I had an encounter with the Lord on a mountaintop. I had been in a kind of a fog,just struggling to gain a breakthrough with some things. It was a difficult time. Ministry is fun,but can also be a challenge. I went on to this mountain and spoke to the Lord:'God I know you're with me,but please come closer. Let me feel you;let me know what to do.' ... He sorted me out,He gave me clarity. I went from just knowing he was with me,to being able to feel him with everything I am.
–Jenn Johnson,Sharefaith Magazine [4]
Jenn Johnson went on to add that the experience birthed the song "I Can Feel You". [4]
The song "Chasing You",featuring Jenn Johnson's vocals,impacted Christian radio on September 6,2013 as the lead single of the album. [5]
