CCM newcomer, Matt Gilman, made a remarkable debut this week with his first national release, Awaken Love. The project entered at No. 2 on the Soundscan Praise and Worship chart and reach No. 19 on the Billboard Christian Albums chart. Gilman is signed to Forerunner Music with product distribution being handled by New Day Distribution.
“We are happy for Matt and the early success of his new album,” says Nick Syrett, President, Forerunner Music. “This project is the culmination of a lot of hard work by Matt and producer Ed Cash, and we are glad that it is finally available for people to hear and that it is being received so well.”
Gilman is scheduled to embark on the inaugural 45-city Reset Movement Tour sponsored by Nick Hall’s Pulse Movement. This year’s tour launches September 18 in Phoenix, AZ, and will also feature Rend Collective Experiment, Lacey Sturm (former lead singer of Flyleaf), Hip-Hop artist Propaganda, and DJ Efechto. The tour will visit 200 cities in three years and is expected to impact over 2.5 million people. The goal of the tour is to rally a generation around Jesus and call for a supernatural reset in our lives, culture and nation.
