NASHVILLE, Tenn. (JUNE 19, 2026) Gotee Records artist Terrian returns with her most expansive and defining project to date, announcing her forthcoming 17-track album, Mad Big World, arriving in August 2026. The album’s title track, “Mad Big World,” is available everywhere today, and fans can now pre-save the full album ahead of its release.

 

Following the success of her acclaimed 2024 debut album Give It Time, Terrian continues to establish herself as one of Christian music’s fastest-rising voices. Since launching her solo career, she has amassed more than 335 million career streams, earned four Top 20 radio singles, completed her first-ever headline tour, and built a social audience of more than 1.45 million followers across platforms. Her growing influence has led to tours alongside TobyMac, KB, Crowder, Elevation RHYTHM, and CeCe Winans, international performances throughout Europe, including the Netherlands and Norway, and collaborations with artists such as CeCe Winans, TobyMac, and KB. Earlier this year, Terrian performed on the K-LOVE Fan Awards and received a nomination for Female Artist of the Year.

 

The album’s title track introduces the heart of Mad Big World, a bold declaration of faith and resilience amid life’s uncertainties. The song, co-written by Terrian, Matt Hammitt, and Kyle Williams,
serves as an anthem of confidence rooted in God’s truth over the noise and lies of the world. With Mad Big World, Terrian invites listeners into her most personal and confident collection of songs yet, a project that celebrates joy, perseverance, and unwavering faith in a world that often feels overwhelming.

 

"There’s been this recurring theme the last couple of years as I’ve traveled across the U.S. and internationally: stay close to the Lord," shares Terrian. "Only He will keep my peace, joy, will, and hope intact. This album, in many ways, is like personal devotionals in music form. It is filled with reminders to myself to keep my eyes locked tightly on Christ as I journey through this mad big world."

 

The announcement follows a banner season for Terrian. Her song, “Testimony,” has surpassed 18 million global streams and earned widespread playlist support across Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Pandora. Its official music video has garnered more than two million views. Earlier this spring, she released a special collaboration with CeCe Winans for a beautiful, powerful version of the inspiring song. She will also join Winans’ on her “COME WORSHIP!” Tour this fall. Find tour dates and ticket information here.

ABOUT GOTEE RECORDS: In 1992, a production team of three talented guys with diverse tastes shared a love for music. Producers Joey Elwood and Todd Collins, along with Grammy-winning artist TobyMac, launched Gotee Records in 1994 after unsuccessfully finding a label deal for the R&B trio Out of Eden. With a steady focus on artistry, the new label expanded to reflect the diverse interests of its founders. Within 12 months, Christafari, GRITS, and Johnny Q. Public were signed, easily representing four different music categories: R&B, reggae, rap, and rock. In the 25-plus years since Gotee’s founding as a record label, it has launched the careers of Relient K, Jennifer Knapp, Sonicflood, Jamie Grace, and, more recently, Capital Kings, Ryan Stevenson, Hollyn, and Aaron Cole. The present-day in the Gotee story is much like the label’s early days. Through all the changes in the tumultuous music industry, the boutique label’s independent spirit is maintained through a steady focus on artist development and diversity. In 2025, Bell Partners Worldwide acquired Gotee Records, launching a new division, Bell Partners Christian Music, which aimed to expand the global reach of Christian music artists. Gotee executives Joey Elwood and Toby McKeehan (tobyMac) will continue in leadership roles at Gotee as well as at Bell Partners Christian Music, with Elwood serving as CEO of the latter.
