NASHVILLE, TN - (November 15, 2024) - GRAMMY- nominee, double Dove Award-winner and Billboard’s Top New Christian Artist of 2023, Forrest Frankhas released a new holiday original, "THE PRESENT." The track comes after Frank teased fans with a clip last week, resulting in bated anticipation and nearly 3M views to date. With a fresh, festive energy, "THE PRESENT" reminds us that the season’s true gifts lie in connection and generosity. 
 
Last week Frank received his first GRAMMY nomination in the category of Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for his first full-length project, CHILD OF GOD which heldthe No.spot on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart for 14 weeks, making it the biggest Christian album debut of the year.
 
"THE PRESENT" continues what has been a busy season for new music from Frank with the November 1st release of the CHILD OF GOD (DELUXE) album featuring seven new tracks, including "YOUR WAY'S BETTER" and "HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH" with Torey D’Shaun.
 
Following the success of Frank's genre-debut GOD IS GOOD EP, which reached Top 5 on the Top Christian Albums chart, earlier this fall 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." His latest radio single, “NEVER GET USED TO THIS" featuring JVKE has grown quickly at Christian radio. The song is Top 25 on Billboard Christian Airplay + Christian AC and Mediabase Christian Audience + Christian AC charts with over 2M in weekly audience and 40+ stations on including KLOVE network. 
In addition to album sales, streams 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.
