Nashville, Tenn. (May 1, 2026) Provident Entertainment’s Leanna Crawford returns with highly anticipated new music today, unveiling her latest single, “Thank God,” available everywhere now. The track serves as the title track from her forthcoming sophomore album, Thank God, arriving July 24, 2026. Pre-save & Pre-order the new album HERE.

Following the success of her critically acclaimed debut album Still Waters, which earned her a K-LOVE Fan Award for Breakout Single of the Year (“Still Waters (Psalm 23)”) and being named as New Artist of the Year at the 56th Annual GMA Dove Awards, Crawford continues to resonate with a growing global audience drawn to her signature blend of faith-driven lyricism, emotional honesty, and pop sensibility.

“When I look back on my life, I can’t help but thank God for all the times that He said ‘no’, ‘not yet’ or ‘wait a little longer’,” shares the award–winning singer/songwriter. “If it were up to me and my timing, my life would be pretty messed up. And even though I had to wait in the pain longer than I wanted, I can look back now and see that the pain had a purpose. So if you’ve been in that season or you’re in that season right now, know that God will not waste your pain.”

Written by Crawford, Ran Jackson, Aaron Robertson and produced by Rob Ellmore and Sam Martinez, “Thank God” offers a compelling first glimpse into Crawford’s next chapter. Rooted in themes of gratitude, resilience, and trust, the single reflects the same heartfelt storytelling that has become her hallmark, inviting listeners into a deeply personal yet universally relatable expression of faith.

Earlier this spring, Crawford embarked on her first-ever “Sisterhood Tour” and created more than a concert; she cultivated a space for honest connection. Throughout the tour, women and girls of all ages were invited to anonymously share their struggles, questions, and lived experiences, which were then thoughtfully woven into a live panel discussion marked by vulnerability, honesty, empathy, and faith. It’s that same authenticity that shaped Crawford’s artistic journey. What began as writing songs and poetry in her bedroom in Washington State evolved into a calling, one that has positioned her as a leading voice among a new generation of Christian music artists.

With a rapidly growing presence across Spotify, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok of over 2M followers across all accounts, Crawford blends devotional themes with authenticity and vulnerability, paired with country-infused sounds that continue to resonate across generations and backgrounds.

ABOUT LEANNA CRAWFORD:
No matter who you are or where you’ve come from, finding solace and comfort in music is a prerequisite rite of passage for countless teenagers. However, for singer-songwriter Leanna Crawford, playing guitar and writing poetry in the bedroom of her family’s home in Washington State, was never merely a leisurely pastime or a source of creative escapism. On the contrary, songwriting was her artistic vehicle to navigate her faith, relationships, and questions in a world of insecurities and difficulties. No longer just another teen playing guitar and writing poetry in the bedroom of her family’s home in Washington State, Leanna now finds herself, a happily married woman in her twenties, on the verge of the release of her major record label debut album, ‘Still Waters’. Combining previously released tracks with fresh compositions like “For Heaven’s Sake,” “Honest,” and “Rest,” the album is a tapestry of struggle and faith, reflecting Crawford’s journey and pursuit for truth, honesty, and beauty. Each song on Still Waters feels like a journal entry—infused with Crawford’s personal reflections and experiences. “For Heaven’s Sake” invites listeners to unite in purpose regardless of differences. “How Can You Not” is a melodic affirmation of God’s omnipresence, even amidst doubt. The title track and RIAA® Gold Certified single, “Still Waters” holds special meaning as a tribute to Crawford’s Great Aunt Maurine whose steadfast faith profoundly impacted her family across generations. Crawford shares, “I want listeners to feel seen, understood, and hopeful through these songs – and as a result, encounter the transformative love of Jesus.”
