Scrapbook Stories 107
What started out as a conversation by the campfire turned into the first-ever album produced, written, and performed by Wheaton College students.
Scrapbook Stories 107 was released on April 22, 2022, featuring 12 tracks created by Storytelling Project IV and 14 other student musicians, writers, and visual artists across campus.
Curated like a scrapbook, the album features songs and poetry created by students across a wide range of majors, Christian faith traditions, and cultural/ethnic backgrounds. Genres span across pop, R&B, rap, spoken word, gospel, and more.
Tying the 12 songs together are interwoven themes of lament and sorrow balanced with the joy and redemption Christ has brought us.
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.”
Psalm 107:1-3
“This album offers us the freedom to capture an integration of ethnically and culturally diverse storytelling, music genres, creative expressions and human experiences within a biblical framework. Psalm 107:2 says, ‘Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story.’ These are our stories.”
Stevener Gaskin, director of Scrapbook Stories 107
