Provident/Sony Music and Steven Curtis Chapman announce the release of his latest album, Still.
The 12-track project offers, in true Chapman fashion, songs of encouragement and hope, especially "Don't Lose Heart," which was inspired by Chapman's own journey through the shallowed valley of grief and loss that he and his family have traveled. The honesty and truth to the upbeat single have quickly connected with listeners - it was the most-added song at radio for three weeks in a row and has already climbed into the top 20 in just four weeks.
"STILL is a celebration and a musical journey through much of what has been stirring in my heart and soul over these last few years, so mark your calendar for Oct 14th and get your ears and heart ready to take the journey with me," Chapman exclaims.
