Colton Dixon Releases New EP: ‘Canvas’
By Movieguide® Contributor
While on his Build a Boat tour, Colton Dixon released a new EP titled Canvas.
“Life is all about perspective – how we view the various season that life has to offer. Every day is a blank canvas to live life to the fullest, and to view the world and the people around us in a new light,” Dixon posted on Instagram. “I hope you find that in these songs and I’m so excited that Canvas is finally yours.”
The EP tells its story through four new songs, “Giants,” “Canvas,” “Hold on to Hope,” and “Unbreakable,” alongside previously released songs “Build a Boat,” and “My Light.”
Dixon’s Build a Boat tour continues across the country through mid-October.

Christian Artist Colton Dixon further discussed his hit song, ‘Build a Boat.’
Dixon was inspired by the biblical event of Noah and the building of the ark.
“There’s this big struggle between God and Noah, with Noah saying, ‘You’ve got the wrong guy. I don’t want to do it.’ And God asks Noah to build an ark—giving him all the specifications—and then the Bible says Noah did exactly as God had asked him. Period. There was no wavering. Noah was faithful,” Dixon stated in an interview.
The faithfulness of Noah led Dixon to reflect on his own life and faith walk.
“I want to be known as someone who, when God asks me to do something that makes zero sense in the natural, that my response is yes,” Dixon said.
“God isn’t going to ask you to do something just because he feels like it. I think he’s trying to get something to you,” Dixon added. “His plans for us are to prosper us—not to harm us—to give us hope and a future. He knows the best-case scenario for us. So, when he asks you to do something that doesn’t make sense, we would be a fool not to trust and to go along with it.”
Dixon expressed that he wrote the hit song so that others would be inspired to obey God. He also encouraged pastors not to give up, regardless of how harsh the world gets.
Dixon stated that he believes that “faith is the thing that precedes a miracle. Faith is the only thing that pleases God.”
“So, when you’re hit with opposition, or when you don’t know what else to do, just keep having faith,” Dixon concluded. “Keep trusting that God is on the throne because He is. And it might not be tomorrow, but the miracle is on its way. So just keep having faith.”
