Michael Sweet from Stryper Drops New Single and Lyric Video from Forthcoming Solo Album
Michael Sweet, well-known as the lead singer of the Christian rock band STRYPER, has just released the third single, “Again,” from his upcoming solo album, The Master Plan, set to be launched on April 3, 2026, through Frontiers Music Srl. The new single is a poignant reflection on loss and healing, with Sweet expressing, “We’ve all lost someone. We all feel pain from that loss. I wrote this song to help people heal.”
The Master Plan is considered Sweet’s most personal and spiritually profound solo album to date, aiming to inspire peace, faith, and encouragement.

Apart from his work with STRYPER, Sweet has a successful solo career, is a founding member of the rock band Sweet & Lynch, and served as the vocalist and guitarist for classic rock legends, BOSTON, from 2007-2011. His unmistakable voice and sincere spiritual core shine through in The Master Plan, offering listeners moments of prayer, praise, and quiet reflection.
