BEC Recordings' announces the full-length debut from their newest signing Among The Thirsty. Their label debut, Who You Say I Am, will release next month on March 17. This release follows the highly successful radio and digital single, "Completely," which has sold more than 50,000 singles. This album is a personal reflection of a journey of hitting rock-bottom and finding God's gift of desperation there and through grace seeing one's worth to God. Fans can also catch the band perform the hit single along with other new songs live on the Casting Crowns tour this coming week in three different cities: Bloomington, IL (Feb. 26), DeKalb, IL (Feb. 27) and Paducah, KY (Feb. 28).
The poignant ballad and radio single "Completely" is centered on surrender. "It's a powerful song for me, because it [was written out of] my absolute coming to grips with who I was, the things I had done, the people I had hurt, and just having to face myself," frontman Ryan Daniel shares of the season the album was inspired. "That was my moment of absolute rock bottom, when my world [was] collapsing. It was hard to see the good in it."
Reflecting back on that difficult season today, Daniel now recognizes the beauty that resulted in the form of music, which built the framework for the band's forthcoming debut. Although his personal circumstances have yet to reach a full resolution, just like anything worth fighting for, he knows there is joy to be found in the process.
"I feel like God is glorified in every step of the journey," he offers. "Every moment that you experience this life and every day that you're battling whatever you're battling, you're overcoming it. Every day you're doing that, every step, is really where the glory is, and that's where God is [most] glorified."
