Contemporary Christian Music hitmaker and five-time Grammy winner Brandon Lake is set to release a new album and launch a massive arena headlining tour this year.
Lake — whose song “Hard Fought Hallelujah” has spent 16 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart and gave him his all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart debut — will release his upcoming album, King of Hearts, on June 13. Lake co-wrote each of the album’s 16 songs and the project will include his 10-week Christian Airplay hit “That’s Who I Praise” and the Jelly Roll collaborative version of “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” Other songs on the album include “I Know a Name” with CeCe Winans, “Right in the Middle” with Hulvey, and “Remember the Miracles” with Hank Bentley.
In an Instagram post, Lake shared, “I’m not sure if I knew who this record was for when I started writing it, but as the songs came the more I realized it was not for the seemingly put together, but rather those who are honest about their brokenness, but also have a desire to connect with their creator and experience Him in everyday life.”
He added, “This creator is King of the universe, King of Nations, King of creation, but none more important than King of hearts. ♥️”
In addition to the album, Lake will embark on his 48-city King of Hearts arena headlining tour starting Oct. 2 at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, FL. The trek will visit cities including Salt Lake City, Detroit, Philadelphia, Oklahoma City, Atlanta and more, before wrapping next May in his hometown of Charleston, S.C. We The Kingdom bandmember-turned-solo artist Franni Cash will open shows on the tour. Lake’s fall 2025 and spring 2026 tour dates will follow his upcoming Summer Worship Nights 11-city tour with Phil Wickham.
