Colton Dixon - Canvas

American Idol's Colton Dixon has announced the April 28th release of his 7-song EP, CANVAS. CANVAS and "My Light" follow the biggest song of Dixon's career to-date "Build A Boat," which, at 10 weeks became the longest running No. 1 Mediabase Christian AC song of 2022, also spawning "Build A Boat (feat. Gabby Barrett)," with MULTI-PLATINUM and award-winning Country star Gabby Barrett. "Over the last couple of years, we've all been in a dark place," he admits. "It was like, 'Man, I'm not sure if the world will come back'. In my case, I didn't know if I'd ever tour again. The twins were born in the same year I lost my main source of income-which is touring. It was scary. If I've ever been afraid, I know there's someone who loves me and will guide me through - God is my light, but we all can relate to people in our lives that help strengthen us as well and keep us going. It's such a fun song but it's message is what I love most about it." In addition to "My Light" and both versions of "Build A Boat," CANVAS features four other tunes including the anthemic "Giants," written and produced by Grammy-nominee Joe London (Jason Derulo, Lizzo, Thomas Rhett), the piano-driven "Hold Onto Hope," a fire-filled vocal performance on "Unbreakable," and the delicate title-track, "Canvas."
