Positive Vibes Only: Matthew West & Anne Wilson Unite For A Tender Performance Of "Me On Your Mind"
The two Christian acts come together for a harmony-laden performance of "Me On Your Mind," an emotional song that speaks to the personal nature of God's love.
Matthew West and Anne Wilson offer up a celebration of the immediacy of God's love in their harmony-rich performance of "Me On Your Mind," a reimagined duet version of West's ballad.
Though it was West who first recorded the song, Wilson has always had a hand in the process of making "Me On Your Mind" — she and West co-wrote the track, along with Jeff Pardo. In this episode of Positive Vibes Only, Wilson's voice finds a natural landing spot on this new duet version of the track, which she and West perform in a relaxed backstage setting.
Strumming an acoustic guitar, West handles the first verse of the song, sitting on a couch in a dressing room. Wilson provides swelling vocal harmonies before taking lead on the second verse, and the two artists sway along to the ballad as they continue to attend their song with rich, close vocal harmony.
The pair's easygoing collaborative chemistry is readily apparent in their performance of the song, which finds West and Wilson sharing an effortless back-and-forth as they deliver their rendition of the song.
"Me On Your Mind" has held a special emotional power for both West and Wilson ever since they wrote it. When they put out their duet version of the track earlier this month, West revealed that the idea popped up during a writing session for another song, and "Me On Your Mind" almost never happened.
"As we finished that song and Anne began heading for the door, I told them about this other idea," West recounted to The Christian Beat. "She sat back down and we wrote a song that makes me cry every time I sing it!"

Positive Vibes Only: Brandee Younger Reimagines The Enchantment Of Stevie Wonder's "If It's Magic" In This Instrumental Cover
Using just a harp, Brandee Younger delivers a moving performance of Stevie Wonder's 1976 deep cut "If It's Magic."
Almost 50 years ago, Stevie Wonder graced the world with his critically acclaimed (and Album Of The Year-winning) studio album, Songs in the Key of Life. Beyond notable singles "Isn't She Lovely" and "I Wish" lives "If It's Magic," a song about the unavoidable failure of unprotected love.
"If it's magic/ Then why can't it be everlasting?/ Like the sun that always shines/ Like the poet's endless rhymes/ Like the galaxies in time," Wonder questions in the track's opening verse. "It holds the key to every heart/ Throughout the universe/ It fills you up without a bite/ And quenches every thirst."
In this episode of Positive Vibes Only, American harpist Brandee Younger performs a soothing, instrumental cover of "If It's Magic." Younger plays the harp from a well-lit room covered in plants, increasing the serene ambiance of the performance.
Last month, Younger released her latest album, Brand New Life. As one of the most prominent Black, female harpists, Younger created Brand New Life as one of her many efforts to highlight the musical contributions of Black women. In 2022, she became the first Black woman to be nominated for a GRAMMY Award in the Best Instrumental Composition category.

Positive Vibes Only: Johnny Rez Discovers Contentment Through God In This Performance Of "Preciosa"
On "Preciosa," Cuban worship singer Johnny Rez declares that his only necessity is God's presence — a statement that has become even more meaningful after his battle with addiction.
On "Preciosa," Cuban worship singer Johnny Rez turns his back on earthly desires. Through the presence of God, Rez recognizes he has enough for eternal fulfillment.
"How precious is your presence/ You are everything I need/ Nowhere else I'd rather be," Rez declares in the track's chorus.
In this episode of Positive Vibes Only, Rez performs a version of "Preciosa" that fuses English, Spanish and Portuguese. Rez uses soft, falsetto tonation to evoke a sense of intimacy with God before growing more confident into the song's climax, proudly belting his praises.
As detailed on his website, Rez began his worship journey in 2010 after a battle with addiction that eventually led to a house arrest sentence. Today, he's found freedom and passion within music thanks to his strong relationship with God.
Since then, Rez has cultivated a fertile career in music, appearing on 'The Voice' and 'American Idol' and performing alongside Demi Lovato, Tye Tribbett, and Ricky Martin. Rez released "Preciosa" alongside "Tu Bondad," another proclamation of the strength he's received through his faith.
