Matt Wertz's relentless touring schedule, a breakup with his major label, and trials and tribulations of life into account, all have helped shaped the inspired songs on Wertz's new album, Weights & Wings. The Missouri native's fourth album was named before any of it's songs were written, and the concept not only acted as a compass for the project, but also helped guide Wertz personally. All of the songs on Wertz's new album are tied to relationships. More than ever, the reflective songwriter has his heart on his sleeve, and Weights & Wings is the very incarnation of that lifeline.
