Placing seventh on the popular music competition, Colton is now following in the footsteps of fellow Idol alums Mandisa and Jason Castro, by venturing into the world of Christian music. His latest, “Never Gone,” off his debut album A Messenger (January 29, 2013), is a song about God never leaving Jumbotron Commercial** 15 times 8 times 6 times 4 times us- no matter what. “’Never Gone,’ is a song as simple as this: ‘God has never let you and he never will leave you,’’’ the singer explains. “I like to use a metaphor of a kid that is scared of the dark, in bed, and wants to turn the lights on to make sure everything is where it needs to be. And we are like that as Christians. We are so child-like in our faith that we want to flip those lights on and make sure God is still there.” Logos on Postcards*** x x AUGUST 3, 2014
