Nashville, Tenn. (Jul. 20, 2018) - "Born Again," the latest track from contemporary pop artist Austin French, is available today. Off the singer's anticipated album, Wide Open, the song is set to impact Christian radio on Aug. 24th as the second single from the record, following his debut hit “Freedom Hymn,” which hit top 10. Inspired by the stories of close friends, French was reminded that being a Christian is so much more than a status - that being born again means a new start and ultimately new life. "Born Again" is now available here.





"Following Jesus changes everything. No matter what you have done or what has been done to you, if you follow Jesus you are not defined by your scars. You are given new life through His," said French. "We are not old creations that have learned new tricks to look like we are Christians. We have been set free and given a new life. We have been born again."
 
Wide Open, the anticipated debut album from the new Fair Trade Services signee, is now available for pre-order today with four instant grat tracks in advance of its Sept. 7th release. French has released five songs off the project, the current chart-topping single, "Freedom Hymn," "Wide Open," "Why God," "Good Feeling," and his latest "Born Again." 
 
Wide Open is now available for pre-order with four instant grat tracks here. You can also download or stream the tracks today on SpotifyApple Music and Amazon Music.

About Austin French:
Growing up in small town, Cordele, GA, Austin French dreamed of sharing his faith and passion for Jesus through music at a young age. Being surrounded by a musical family inspired his passion for writing music. As he began to develop his gifts he formed bands learning to take his music to stages and churches.

After becoming the worship pastor at Journey Church, in Tifton, GA, French met his wife, Joscelyn. While serving there, French was featured on the first season of the ABC TV show “Rising Star,” where he finished as runner-up. After the show, Austin and his wife moved to Florida, and then to Nashville, TN in 2017 where French began his journey into the CCM industry, signing with Fair Trade Services. After moving to Nashville, French and his wife adopted their son, and while in the process, gave birth to their second little boy. French has released five songs from his anticipated debut album, Wide Open, set to release Sept. 7th, "Freedom Hymn," "Wide Open," "Why God," "Good Feeling," and his latest, "Born Again."
