American Idol's Colton Dixon Reveals Second Album 'Anchor'
Colton Dixon, the Dove Award-winning American Idol finalist, has announced the release of his second studio album 'Anchor' on 19th August 2014.
"Finally some new music!" shares Colton Dixon. "I'm beyond excited to share what I've been up to since A Messenger. We've explored new territory, new sounds, and new topics for the record, and my hope is that at the end of it all, you feel closer to God than you did when you pressed play."
'Anchor' has been in the works for the last year as Dixon wrote and recorded in-between his nonstop touring schedule. He strived to take this album in a different direction, experimenting with new sounds as well as steering the lyrics in a more thematic route.
The album was produced by David Garcia (TobyMac, Mandisa, Newsboys) and Red Decibel (Switchfoot, Kelly Clarkson, Jeremy Camp). Dixon also co-wrote with renowned songwriters and artists such as David Garcia, Red Decibel, TobyMac, Trevor McNevan (TFK), Matthew West, Ben Glover and Matt Bronleewe.
In support of 'Anchor', Colton is will be appearing at all of the major summer festivals including this weekend's Creation Festival in Pennsylvania and ending the summer in September at Disney's Night of Joy.
