Stryper frontman Michael Sweet has shared a message regarding the band's controversial album, Against The Law, released in 1990.
In the statement, Sweet expresses regret over the album's outcome and admits that he wishes they had stayed true to their classic sound.
He also acknowledges that the album was a departure from their established style.
Sweet's new solo album, The Master Plan, is set for release on April 3 via Frontiers Music Srl.
This deeply worship-inspired record marks a bold departure from his previous solo work — blending heartfelt devotion with fresh musical textures and melodic depth unlike anything Sweet has done before.
The album's title track has been shared alongside an official lyric video, available below.
In a statement about the album, Sweet comments: "I can't tell you how long I've wanted to make this record...
It's certainly not cookie cutter by any stretch of the imagination.
It's one of a kind and very eclectic and unique..." Musically rich and lyrically uplifting, The Master Plan journeys into new acoustic-oriented landscapes, built on warm harmonies, intimate vocal layers, and heartfelt expressions of faith.
Sweet's unmistakable voice leads a tapestry of heartfelt worship, inviting listeners to reflect, celebrate, and draw closer to the timeless truths at the heart of his message.
The album features lush keyboards, evocative guitar work, and memorable vocal moments that elevate each song into something deeply personal yet universally uplifting.
Mixed by Danny Bernini at Spirithouse Studios, the album balances polished production with the warmth of true worship expression.
With its heartfelt lyrics and spiritual sincerity, The Master Plan is designed to inspire peace, faith, and encouragement — music that comforts the weary, uplifts the spirit, and celebrates the profound love at the center of Sweet's faith journey.
