‘You Just Felt the Presence of God’: Colton Dixon Partners With Gabby Barrett in New Single
By Movieguide® Contributor
Colton Dixon released his new EP “Canvas” which featured country star, Gabby Barrett.
Dixon told Reel Faith that the songs on his new EP were his way of spreading hope in a world full of darkness.
“No matter how dark it may seem, in the world that we’re living in, God’s word is always that lamp, is always that light,” he said.
Colton’s number one hit “Build a Boat” immediately took off as soon as he released it.
“This this song has come to life, and we just feel like we needed to release it even without a project around it to see how it does and how it resonates and connects with people,” he stated. “I’m so glad that it did that. It’s my favorite moment every night on the Build a Boat tour. It’s just amazing to see how people have connected with this song, whether they’re currently walking through that dry season or they’ve made it out on the other side. And this was just their anthem during that season.”
Dixon described his time with Gabby Barrett as one he would never forget. Dixon and Barrett recently performed “Build a Boat” at the K-Love awards in May.
“I’m proud of the stance Gabby has taken even in the country market,” Colton said. “She wears her faith on her sleeve, and I think that’s awesome. And she also has pipes for days. We got to, we got to do like a stripped back version of the song together at a country radio thing in Nashville. It was just so cool. You just felt the presence of God, even in the midst of this country radio thing, and she just carries that with her.”
The title of Dixon’s new EP came from inspiration as a husband and father.
“It’s how I want my career to be,” Dixon said. “Not even just in music, but I’m a blank canvas. I want God to tell a story through me.”
