I never thought he would get a major label deal 8 years after being on Idol but here we are. I like him though, so I'm intrigued to see what he comes with.

Well, he had a major label deal since Idol. He was signed to Universal, just specifically Capitol Christian Music Group instead of a "secular" label like Atlantic. Assuming he'll be promoted to Christian radio in the same way that Skillet is since they are also on Atlantic. I'm interested to hear the sound of this album since he's not solely on a Christian label - sounds like there may be a push for some crossover material on it.

Regardless, I'm excited about this. It's been too long without new music from him.

Yeah, I meant being signed to a not solely Christian label haha. He was with Sparrow before, so I didn't really expect him to, I don't know, move up I guess?

Excited for this nonetheless. I've liked his singles in the past.

I cant wait for this one.It was about time for Colton to release some new music.

Audio:



I didn't really expect this kind of sound out of him. The production reminds me of a certain pop song, but I can't really place it. "Cheap Thrills" sort of?

I hope the video makes me to like the song more.I also didnt expect this kind of sound out of him at all.

Sorry for the double post but I watched a live streaming with Colton aand he said its gonna be an EP I guess with 6 songs and he is gonna put out another song tomorrow called "The devil is a liar".

Actually I see Colton as becoming ccm’s major crossover artist. I think this song could crossover to at least HAC ala Lauren diagle and for king and country. This has been #1 for 6 weeks on Christian chr, approaching top 20 Christian ac and is doing well in streams. Plus his ep is super crossover and he’s signed to Atlantic so that bodes well. Keep an eye out for him.

I haven't really paid any attention to him since American Idol, but wow, I really like this! He was good on Idol, but I'm not typically into Christian music aside from a song or two here and there (loved Lauren Daigle's "You Say" for instance). This is quite good though, and he's still just as cute as ever, too, lol.

Unfortunately this was in one ear and out the other for me. Super generic sounding.

Now he’s approaching 5.5 million Spotify streams and is consistently in the top 200 on iTunes. He’s not even in the top 10 on Christian AC format so there’s still a lot of growth. They really should think about crossing this over to HAC/AC
