MTS Music, in collaboration with Narked Records, is please to announce the release of Spiritual Relationship: The Deeper Meaning, the new album by Washington DC based music producer Matthew Shell. The Deeper Meaning was conceived over a period of 15 years ago by Matthew Shell. During this process, over 200 songs were created and scratched before this final version of 11 songs were picked to be recorded and release as part of this project. Matthew’s wife, Terra, inspired the completion of this concept album which goes from two destined souls being alone, to meeting, to growing in love, to protecting each other, to finding true love that lasts a lifetime.
