Brandon Lake just spent five days with twenty-five of Nashville’s biggest stars and walked out with forty-three new songs. You might know him for his church anthems, but he is currently blurring the lines between the pew and the honky-tonk. This is not just a rumor because the ‘Hard Fought Hallelujah’ singer is officially stepping into a gritty new era.
Brandon brings a voice that sounds like it has been through the fire and back. He talks about being bruised from the battle and falling off the saddle of life. There is no hiding here as he admits to God that he simply cannot take any more. It is a vulnerable moment that makes you feel every ounce of his exhaustion and his hope.
You need to see how he holds his own next to a country powerhouse in this first performance.
Brandon Lake – HELL, NOOOOO!!!
People are talking about this all over the internet. One viewer said that they never expected a worship singer to have this much grit. Another person mentioned that they could feel the ground shake when the two voices hit the chorus together.
That performance was just the beginning of a much deeper journey into the heart of country music. Brandon is finding a way to keep his faith while using the slide guitars and dusty rhythms of Nashville. This next track shows the exact blueprint of how he plans to change the game.
