NASHVILLE, TN - (10/25/24) - First-time, double 2024 GMA Dove Award-winner and Billboard’s Top New Christian Artist of 2023, Forrest Frankis keeping things moving at warp speed, releasing a brand-new track "Your Way's Better" today and also revealing the upcoming November 1, 2024 release of the CHILD OF GOD (Deluxe) project. With lyrics about searching high and low for purpose, but ultimately realizing that just following God's way is the best path of them all, the new track is one of seven new songs featured on the deluxe (full track listing below).
 
Following the success of Frank's genre-debut GOD IS GOOD EP, which reached Top 5 on the Top Christian Albums chart, his first full-length project, CHILD OF GOD hit No.1 on the iTunes All Genres chart, and has held the No.1 spot on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart for TWELVE weeks, making it the biggest Christian album debut of the year so far.
 
Earlier this month Frank won his first-ever GMA Dove Awards for New Artist of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year with his hit "Good Day," and his latest radio single, “Never Get Used To This" featuring JVKE has grown quickly at Christian radio. The song is firmly in the Top 30 on both of Mediabase’s main Christian radio charts (Christian AC and Christian Audience) with just over 1.6M in weekly audience. It’s also trending Top 25 on Billboard Christian AC this week with 32 stations on including the KLOVE network.
 
In addition to album sales and radio hits, the momentum Frank has generated with his music is explained in the massive and continued growth on his socials, with a base that has boomed to over 4 million fans on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok alone, and over 6 million Spotify monthly listeners.

ABOUT FORREST FRANK: 
Forrest Frank acknowledges the weight of his words, deeds, and actions within his artistry. The award-nominated Texas-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist approaches life and music with gratitude and intent. This mindset underscores his music, and it’s why CHILD OF GOD has quietly taken flight as the best-selling Christian album of 2024.
 
The Houston-born 29-year-old, who’d temporarily put the idea of making solo music on the back burner to keep building on his band’s success, craved the freedom to make music just for himself again, and in 2021, a revelation inspired him to change course. Forrest opted to take a year off from touring, relocated to Waco, TX, and became a father.
 
Working completely independently, his self-described “simple worship song”—the powerful “NO LONGER BOUND” [feat. Hulvey]— opened up the floodgates, surging across social media, tallying north of 60.9 million Spotify streams and counting. He parlayed this momentum into CHILD OF GOD. Beyond performing on all 20 tracks, Forrest helmed the production, crafting an immersive soundscape anchored by elements of bright R&B, upbeat pop, and uplifting gospel. Thematically, he clung to a core message. “My whole brand was built around God, and I’m not going to change that—ever,” he affirms.
 
CHILD OF GOD  soared to stratospheric heights upon arrival, gathering over 60,000 pre-saves in advance, capturing #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Albums Chart, and within a few months’ time, tallied over 1 billion global streams. Given the runaway success, Billboard named him the #1 Top New Christian Artist of 2023, and concurrently, the signature “GOOD DAY” has become a Christian radio hit and was nominated for a DOVE Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, with Frank nominated for “New Artist of the Year.This fall he hit the road, seeing sold out shows coast-to-coast on his fall CHILD OF GOD headline tour.
