Forrest Frank: The New Voice in Christian Music You Need to Hear

Forrest Frank, one-half of the mainstream hip-hop/pop duo Surfaces, known for their hit song “Sunday Best,” is making waves in the Christian music scene. After several successful albums with Surfaces since 2017 and solo endeavors since 2022, Frank has now fully embraced the Christian music genre with his 2024 release, Child of God. This album is a vibrant blend of genres, featuring guest vocalists like Tori Kelly, JVKE, Cain, Hulvey, and Caleb Gordon, creating what could be called a “pop-hop-bop” genre. The result is an uplifting, positive experience that leaves listeners with a “feel-good” vibe, reminiscent of artists like Peabod but with a unique focus on vertical worship.

Before its release, there was some concern about the album potentially lacking fresh material due to the pre-release of several singles. However, with twelve new tracks and three interludes, Child of God delivers a balanced mix of old favorites and new gems. Tracks like “Miracle Worker” with Tori Kelly, “Always,” and “Safe and Sound” with Cain stand out, ensuring that the album remains engaging from start to finish. If you’re searching for a perfect end-of-summer soundtrack, Forrest Frank’s Child of God is your go-to album. Whether you’re blasting it on a road trip or just soaking in the positive vibes, this is music designed to uplift your spirit and celebrate life’s good moments.
