For Brandon Lake, crossing over means more opportunities to spread a Christian message
Christian music is gaining in popularity, and Brandon Lake is one reason why. The singer-songwriter’s latest album, “King of Hearts,” melds pop, rock, country and hip-hop. That is unusual in contemporary Christian music, and it’s one reason why he’s seeing a lot of success. Lake is up for Grammys and his first ever Country Music Association Award. He told The Associated Press that he views this as a crossover moment and an opportunity to further his message of worship. Lake also made headlines earlier this year when he performed at a memorial for conservative personality Charlie Kirk. Lake says he was not making a political message and that he was simply going to minister for Kirk’s widow.
