WATERWALK RECORDS, a
label under Sony Music, is committed to bringing Christian music to a new,
streaming generation. Crossing genre and denominational lines with songs that
promote spiritual maturity and journey, the Christian record label welcomes
singer-songwriter Jason Marvin as one of the latest additions to their
roster, which includes faith-based acts from the Philippines and across the
region.
His new single “Gain” asserts that it’s easier to weather
the storms in life when your faith is intact and strong. According to Jason,
“Gain” was given to him when he specifically asked for a song that directly
speaks about his current situation.
“He led me to Matthew 16:24-28 to remind me that nothing in this world will ever compare to being with Him,” the 30-year-old musician explains. “And that even if I lose all earthly treasures, but I still have God, then I have everything.”
Brimming with subtle instrumentation and feathery, acoustic
guitar, “Gain” finds itself flowing in captivating calm, where everything
sounds warm and at peace, but progressing into a beautiful finish. Despite its
understated flourishes, the track maintains a level of intimacy that is both
brittle and soft on the edges, but sturdy in how it wants to convey optimism
and faith in its messaging.
“I made sure it would sound like a worship session among a small
group of believers rather than a super clean studio,” he shares.
The song is produced and arranged by Jason himself and Victor
Noora, mixed by Shadiel Chan, and mastered by Jan Fuertez. As for the backing
band, Jason is joined by his friends and colleagues in faith, namely: EJ de
Perio on keyboards, Victor Noora on bass and electric guitars, and Luke Sigua
on drums.
“I approached them individually and instructed them on how to go
about the song exactly how I envisioned it so it would still sound like they
were all in one room,” the talented multihyphenate adds.
