NASHVILLE, TN - (11/1/24) - 2024 GMA double Dove Award-winner and Billboard’s Top New Christian Artist of 2023, Forrest Frankhas officially released hisCHILD OF GOD (DELUXE) album! Available across all DSP's today, Frank released a brand-new track "YOUR WAY'S BETTER" last Friday along with teases of several others, revealing the forthcoming deluxe and its inclusion of seven new tracks (full track listing below).
 
"This album has felt so much bigger than me, it's just felt like a community," Frank said on Instagram last week, "so I thought it would be cool if I were to write ya'lls names on the CHILD OF GOD cover, and that will become the deluxe album cover." Frank asked fans to comment with their first and last name, and he hand drew as many of them as possible on the cover himself.
 
Following "YOUR WAY'S BETTER," a new focus track for the deluxe is "HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH" with Torey D’Shaun. Also featuring a lyric video, the the high energy, Christian-rap track banger is gaining major momentum on Reels and TikTok since Frank's first tease just one week ago, which has garnered nearly 3 million views.
 
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 13 weeks, continuing to make it the biggest Christian album debut of the year.
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 already Top 25 on both the Billboard and Mediabase Christian AC charts with over 1.9M in weekly audience and 38 stations on including 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 nearly 5 million fans on Instagram, YouTube, X and TikTok alone, and nearly 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 won a DOVE Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, with Frank winning 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.
