Former American Idol finalist and country singer Danny Gokey has released his sophomore single, Hope in Front of Me, last February, and the single is now Top 10 on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart. The similarly titled album debuted last week at number one on the Christian Albums chart, which indicates that Christian radio is clearly open to Danny Gokey’s entrance into CCM. While Gokey’s country roots are still firmly planted, his newest release is geared for crossover into the Contemporary Christian arena, and it appears it is here where Gokey’s newest release has found its biggest success to date.
Which brings us to Hope in Front of Me. Man, this song is set for Christian AC. An anthemic chorus, inspirational lyrics, and, of course, Gokey’s golden voice, make a compelling argument for the message of the song: that after a season of trouble, there will be better days ahead. Radio is responding, and people are responding, which bodes well for Gokey’s mid-term career prospects. Clearly, there is hope in front of Danny Gokey.
