Nashville, TN... January 24, 2025 - Following the his first GRAMMY nomination, FORREST FRANK is kicking off 2025 with a powerful new single, “DROP!” Available now, FRANK says the song is “about humility” and “how you start is how you finish" and sonically features his signature blend of hip-hop beats, strong melodies, and, as always, a heartwarming message.
 
In addition to new music and the upcoming GRAMMY Awards, FRANK is prepping for his 2025 "CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2." Demand for the tour has been intense, with several markets already sold out, including Fishers (Indianapolis), Baltimore, Charlotte, Phoenix, Sacramento, St. Louis, Fort Worth, Denver (Morrison), CO., Tampa and more. Featuring Elevation Rhythm in support, following the success of his 2024 stretch, the tour will kick off March 27th and hit 26 markets across the U.S. and Canada. Tickets are on sale now via ForrestFrank.com.
 
2024 was a non-stop year for FRANK, who after being named Billboard’s Top New Christian Artist of 2023, released his genre-debut GOD IS GOOD EP, which reached Top 5 on the Top Christian Albums chart. In July, he offered his first full-length project, CHILD OF GOD which held the No.1 spot on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart for 14 weeks making it the biggest Christian album debut of the year.
 
CHILD OF GOD went on to give FRANK his first GRAMMY-Award nomination for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album, and a Billboard Music Award (BBMA) finalist spot following innaugural GMA Dove Award wins for New Artist of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year with album track "GOOD DAY," which was also named a BBMA finalist.
 
“NEVER GET USED TO THIS “ begins 2025 at #30 on Mediabase Christian Audience with 1,522,000 in total audience and at #18 on Mediabase Christian AC with 55 stations on in total. "GOOD DAY" continues to impact in the TOP 10 in recurrent airplay on both Mediabase Christian Audience and Christian AC with a weekly audience of 3,289,000. “YOUR WAY’S BETTER” began it's journey at Christian radio with JoyFM/St. Louis, MO adding the song shortly after its release. KLOVE network begins airplay on the song nationwide on January 27.
 
Last November, FRANK released the CHILD OF GOD (DELUXE) album featuring seven new tracks, including "YOUR WAY'S BETTER" and "HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH" with Torey D’Shaun, and a new holiday original, "THE PRESENT."
 
In addition to awards, 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 his GRAMMY-nominated CHILD OF GOD was 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, capturing his first GRAMMY nomination, a Billboard Music Award (BBMA) finalist spot, a #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, a 2024 BBMA finalist for Top Chrisitan Aritst. Concurrently, the signature “GOOD DAY” became a Christian radio hit, also named a BBMA finalist and won a DOVE Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, with Frank winning for “New Artist of the Year.” Last fall he released the CHILD OF GOD (DELUXE) album featuring seven new tracks, including "YOUR WAY'S BETTER" and "HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH" with Torey D’Shaun, as well as a new holiday original, "THE PRESENT. " This spring, FRANK will kick off his 2025 "CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2," hitting 26 markets across the U.S. and Canada.
