El artista cristiano Colton Dixon compartió recientemente un video de la canción inédita “In Spite Of Me” como un mensaje para cualquiera que pueda sentirse herido por la iglesia.
“This one’s for those who have been hurt by the church…” captionó un video de sí mismo cantando la canción, que incluye letras como, “I hope you find the reason to say that you believe // Just keep your eyes on heaven, it’s all you’ll ever need.”

En una entrevista con ChurchLeaders, habló sobre la inspiración para “In Spite Of Me,” diciendo, “My focus is more on the people. People affected, the rest of the world, because I believe the world bases their opinion on who GOD is based on those headlines, based on a direct encounter they have with the believer. And if I’m honest, that sucks.”
“I know we’re human. We’re not always the best representation of who GOD is [as] I think we need to be,” Dixon continued. “In the times that I fall short, I still hope you see the bigger picture because even though Christians will fail you — people will fail you — GOD never will. Period.”
Dixon ha estado lanzando mucha música nueva últimamente. A principios de este verano, lanzó el sencillo “The Love I Have For You,” que llamó “really honest and raw” en su entrevista con ChurchLeaders.
“I feel like I used to write songs for other people early in my career, but I feel like I am more and more writing songs for me now,” Dixon explained. “And so this was a journal entry. This is something that I needed to be reminded of, and it’s been cool to see that there are others out there like me who need to hear it as well. So I’m pumped to see what this song does.”
El artista también celebró recientemente un hito importante con su familia — ¡sus hijas gemelas Dior y Athens acaban de cumplir 5 años!
“It’s hard to believe Dior and Athens are turning 5!” he told PEOPLE. “Having them in our lives has been the greatest joy and we are excited for this next phase of life with them. Every day is an adventure! We are honored GOD chose us to be their parents.”
El ex concursante de AMERICAN IDOL compartió que sus hijas ya están mostrando interés en la música, diciendo, “Every once in a while, little Dior, if music is on, she has this really soft, sweet voice. She’ll get real quiet and then she’ll start…we think it’s singing. It’s the cutest thing.”
Dixon no ha anunciado si “In Spite Of Me” tendrá un lanzamiento oficial pronto, pero los fans de su música esperan que lance una versión de estudio de esta poderosa canción.
