American Idol's Colton Dixon Reveals Second Album 'Anchor'

Jun 27 2014

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.

This project comes on the heels of a best-selling and record-breaking album debut in 2013 with the release of 'A Messenger'. Dixon's full-length debut set the largest first week sales by a new solo Christian artist making it the top album sold in that market. He was also the No. 22 best-selling New Artist across all genres, and 'A Messenger' was the ninth top selling physical CD sold in all genres in 2013.

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.
