Rise is the fifth studio album by American singer Danny Gokey. It was released on January 13, 2017, through BMG Rights Management. His second full-length album of original material in the Contemporary Christian genre, Rise serves as the follow-up to Gokey's top 40 album, Hope in Front of Me (2014). The album's title track was released in August 2016 as the record's lead single.

Background[edit]

In January 2014, Gokey released his first Christian single, "Hope in Front of Me".[1] That June, he released his second studio album, also titled Hope in Front of Me, which debuted at number one on the Billboard Christian Albums chart.[2] Over the next two years, Gokey released two more albums – a Christmas collection, titled Christmas Is Here (2015), and a Spanish language re-recording of Hope in Front of Me, titled La Esperanza Frente a Mi (2016).

Following the release of Hope in Front of Me, Gokey began writing and recording new songs. Nine of the eleven songs on Rise were co-written by Gokey, drawing on his personal experiences.[3] The album also features two collaborations – "Chasing", with fellow American Idol alumnus Jordin Sparks, and "Better Than I Found It", with gospel singer Kierra "Kiki" Sheard. Rise became available for pre-order on November 15, 2016.[4]

Singles[edit]

The title track, "Rise", was released to digital retailers on August 11, 2016, as the album's first single.[5] It officially impacted Christian radio on September 2, 2016.[6] The song has reached a peak position of 5 on the Billboard Christian Songs chart.[7]

"The Comeback" hit Christian radio on April 28, 2017, as the album's second single.[8]

"Masterpiece" was released on April 17, 2018, as the album's third single.[9]

“Masterpiece” debuts between the Top 20 and the Top 30 on the Billboard Christian AC Airplay Chart at #27 for 11 weeks starting on April 21, 2018.[10]

"If You Ain't in It" was released on July 7, 2018, as the fourth and final single from the album.[11]

Awards and accolades[edit]

In 2017, Rise was nominated for a GMA Dove Award in the Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year category at the 48th Annual GMA Dove Awards.[12] It was also nominated for at the 2018 Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album.[citation needed]
