Russell Dickerson Reveals He Has Three Unreleased Collaborations with Brandon Lake
During a brand new interview with Holler, Russell Dickerson has revealed he has been engaged on music with Brandon Lake, with RD outlining that he has co-written “three” tracks with Lake.
Despite hailing from the Contemporary Christian Music world, Lake has been venturing additional and additional into the nation sphere by way of collaborations with the likes of Jelly Roll (‘Hard Fought Hallelujah‘) and Cody Johnson (‘When a Cowboy Prays‘).
At the start of the yr, Lake hosted a writers retreat with a range of leading country hitmakerstogether with Dickerson, Lainey Wilson, Thomas Rhett, Dan + Shay, Bailey Zimmerman and extra. The first track to arrive from those sessions, ‘Just Believe’ with Zimmermandropped in March, with the following single, ‘The Jesus I Know Now’ with Wilsonset to be made obtainable on Good Friday (April third).
Excitingly, it appears Dickerson and Lake have a couple of collaboration up their sleeves, with RD telling Holler whereas in London for C2C Festival 2026, “Yeah, we’re working on…I mean, we actually have like three that we’re kind of tossing around. Just figuring out which one is the right one. I brought him in on a song that I had already started, and he wrote on that. And then we wrote one together – we wrote a couple together. So I don’t know, we’re just kind of tossing them back, feeling out what the vibe is on each one. Like, Is it me? Is it him? Is it both of us?
Judging by what RD is saying here, it sounds like they’re narrowing down one single to release as an official collaboration, and perhaps the others will drop later on, or maybe they’ll be kept as solo tracks, with the other artist simply getting a writing credit.
There is one unreleased song, called ‘Amazing Place’ – seemingly a play on the classic Christian hymn, ‘Amazing Grace’ – listed on ASCAP with Dickerson, Lake, Chase McGill and Parker Welling all co-writers. We suspect this is the top candidate for a collaboration in the coming weeks, given the fact that they’ve registered it on ASCAP.
Elsewhere in his conversation with HollerDickerson touches on how faith and spirituality have always been crucial influences on his music, “That’s simply who I’m. And, you understand, when ‘Yours’ got here out, I received turned down by document labels and stuff. They have been like, ‘This seems like a worship music!’ I used to be like, ‘Well, you are not incorrect…’ It’s like, that is simply type of a part of who I’m, and the sound that I’ve, I assume.”
Interestingly, ‘Just Believe’ was launched with Zimmerman because the lead artist, maybe dampening rumors that Lake is readying a full-blown nation crossover album, within the mildew of Chris Tomlin’s gorgeous 2020 collaborative mission, Chris Tomlin & Friendswhich featured Dickerson, Florida Georgia Line, Thomas Rhett and extra.
We think about we’ll know extra in regards to the long-term intentions behind these country-Christian duets as soon as we see whether or not Lake is the lead artist on ‘The Jesus I Know Now’ with Wilson. Perhaps they’re simply standalone releases, moderately than being a part of a broader mission. Either manner, spirituality has all the time been a pivotal a part of the material of nation music, and we’re welcoming extra from Lake on this vein.
