Forrest Frank releases 'Child Of God II (Back To Back) Deluxe'

26-track project includes recent back-to-back viral tracks ‘The Rock,’ ‘Selah,’ ‘Lemonade’ and ‘God's Got My Back,’ plus new collab with Cory Asbury, ‘Misunderstood’

Press Release

Grammy-nominated, award-winning artist Forrest Frank has released his “Child Of God II (Back To Back) Deluxe” album today. Upon its release last May, “Child Of God II” debuted atop the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart and No. 12 on Billboard's Top 200 Album Chart. Available across all DSPs, on CD and vinyl preorder, the 26-track deluxe project features all 20 songs from the original “COG II” album, plus recent viral tracks "The Rock" with Crowder, "Lemonade" with The Figs, "Selah," and "God's Got My Back." Combined streams for the four tracks has crossed 40 million, with 50,000 TikTok UGC.

Each of the new songs were inspired by a serious skateboarding injury that resulted in multiple back fractures for Frank, but ultimate quick healing, which he extensively shared with fans on socials.

Not long after posting about his healing, fellow artist Cory Asbury joked about Frank's injury in a parody about his vasectomy, and in response, Frank shared how hurtful jokes about what he called “probably the most traumatic moment of my life” was painful. Asbury apologized sincerely and removed the video, and the two reconciled on the phone, turning what began as a misunderstanding on social media into an opportunity for forgiveness and grace, ultimately co-writing the newest song on the deluxe, “Misunderstood." 

Frank currently has logged his second Top 5 single on the Mediabase and Billboard Christian radio charts with “Your Way's Better” at No. 3 on all four Christian radio charts (Mediabase Christian Audience and Christian AC plus Billboard Christian Airplay and Christian AC) with 96 stations on the song. “Lemonade” has already been added to 24 stations in three weeks with multiple outlets putting the song straight into heavy rotation! The song is currently trending at No. 33 on Mediabase Christian AC and Billboard Christian AC.

Frank also recently received seven GMA Dove Award nominations, including Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year. Tracks "Good Day" and "Up!" were both nominated for Song of the Year, with the “Child Of God” album and "Your Way's Better" viral hit also receiving nominations for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year, respectively. Frank also garnered a nod in the Rap/Hip Hop Recorded Song of the Year category for "Heaven On This Earth (feat. Torey D'Shaun)."
