Chris Tomlin’s career has hit a series of pinnacles since he moved from Texas to Atlanta six years ago.
His award shelf is getting full with Grammys (he scored for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for “And If Our God Is For Us…” in 2012), Dove Awards and Billboard Music Awards.
In January 2013, Tomlin made a bit of history with his "Burning Lights" album as only the fourth-ever Christian artist to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. (Another Atlanta-via-Texas artist, Lecrae, is about to achieve the same feat with his new album, "Anomaly," which just sold almost 90,000 copies its first week.)
Tomlin fans have even more to get pumped about with the Oct. 27 release of "Love Ran Red." The new studio album, Tomlin's 10th, will also exist in deluxe form, with four additional tracks.
The first single, “Waterfall,” peaked at No. 8 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart, while the next single, “Jesus Loves Me” (a new song, despite its familiar title), arrived at radio this week.
According to Tomlin’s website, the 2015 dates for the annual Passion Conferences have been set for Jan. 2-4 and Jan 16-18 at Philips Arena.
