After the release of his first studio album, "Giants" on Dream Records, Evan Craft is set to release his first Latin album on September 25th. "Yo Soy Segundo" brings more of the pop sensibilities that his fans are familiar with but with a new latin flare. Below, Evan shares his heart behind his new songs.
1. Eres Rey- The first song on that album hits hard and continues by declaring the attributes of our Lord! With its influence from gospel music, you can not help but clap your hands and jump for joy!
2. Yo Soy Segundo- Inspired by "I am Second" and 1 John 4:19, this super catchy pop/rock song is about making Jesus famous and putting God and others before oneself.
3. Entrego Todo- Hebrews 13:8 is a cornerstone of this song. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. He has asked us to give up everything for him and take up our cross. Entrego Todo is catchy and easy for a congregation to announce their devotion to Christ.
4. Sólo Eres Tú (con Jonathan Thulin)- Jesus is the only name worthy of praise, the one who saved us from our sins and gave us salvation. This song consists of deep verses and truth in the chorus. Accompanied by the soulful voice of Jonathan Thulin. This song is powerful.
5. Dame Fe- Diving headfirst into Latinoamerica has been exciting and overwhelming! Dame Fe is a cry to the Lord to strengthen me and guide me in what He wants to do. From Elevation Worship, Dame Fe is incredibly inspiring.
6. Ante El Gran Trono- Including Before the Throne and Come thou Fount, the lyrics of these songs are profound. It is incredible that we can come before the King of Kings and worship, who is also the fount of every good and perfect thing.
7. Por Tu Amor- I woke up with the melody and a vision of thousands of people singing together in unison. Zech. 4:6 talks of how God prefers not to move in power or force, but in through His Spirit. He did not give us a spirit of fear, but of conquerors. He is a righteous King and worthy of our praise.
8. En Tus Manos- Ezequiel 32:26 a petition to the Lord to move in the hearts of people who do not know His love.
9. Aleluya- In every language, in every nation, Hallelujah is the same. It is praise and worship to the Creator of the Universe.
10. Todo Debo a Él- Jesus Paid it All. Although we were lost in our sin and far removed from the presence of the Most High, He gave His only Son so that we might be saved. He washed my crimson stains white as snow!
11. Brillamos- We are the light of the world and everyday we have the opportunity to share the love of God.??

"Broken Heart", Evan's first single which will debut on iTunes February 21st is already creating buzz at radio. The song's "Brandon Heath-esque" approach is sure to gain momentum in the coming weeks as it's getting a lot of buzz.
"It's an exciting time in my life being able to work with such wonderful and talented people, but there is an unsurpassed joy of being in the pocket of where God has me right now. This CD is the journey of testing God's grace to being thrown to my knees by the weight of not deserving grace at all. This whole adventure is rolled up into the inspired melodies to encourage people's hearts by my own experiences. If someone can listen to "Broken Heart" and be comforted or be set on fire by "Reclaimed" to fight human injustice then it's done it's job. Please tune your heart to the rhythms of this album and enjoy my finest work yet!" " - Evan Craft
"Dream Records is very excited about Evan Craft's project! We are getting ready to unveil a fresher approach to getting the word out about him and we can't wait to share it with all of you in the coming month." - Lance Brown, Dream Records.
