- April 2, 2026
AceShowbiz - Brandon Lake is expanding his reach beyond Contemporary Christian music by collaborating with country artists such as Lainey Wilson and Jelly Roll. These partnerships mark his growing presence in the country music scene as he prepares to release his own country album.
This crossover momentum continues with the upcoming release of the song "The Jesus I Know Now," a collaboration between Lake and Wilson, set to debut on Good Friday. This track exemplifies the blend of faith and country influence that characterizes Lake’s evolving sound.
In a recent episode of Rolling Stone's Nashville Now podcast, the Grammy-winning artist from South Carolina discussed his journey into Nashville’s music community and the meaningful messages behind his songs, including "Hard Fought Hallelujah" and "When a Cowboy Prays." He emphasized how these songs reflect his personal faith and storytelling through music.
Lake also addressed the complex relationship between religion and politics, a topic that has become increasingly contentious. When asked if he worries about Christianity being co-opted by political agendas, he responded, "I'm human, so yes I worry." However, he expressed a larger belief that God transcends political divisions, saying, "I think he's above it all. And I think he sits with everyone on every side - if there are sides."
As Brandon Lake continues to bridge genres and expand his artistic reach, his message remains focused on unity and faith that surpasses societal divides. His upcoming collaborations and solo projects are poised to further cement his influence in both contemporary Christian and country music landscapes.
