Five-time GRAMMY®-nominated, eight-time GMA Dove Award recipient and Platinum®-selling singer
/ songwriter Brandon Heath is poised to release his eighth studio record and second LP with
Centricity Music, The Ache, later this year. Holding the tension of loss and longing, the album shares
the intrinsic ache experienced this side of heaven and points listeners to the things that matter most
to Heath — family, faith, community and his ultimate belief that there is life after death.
The Ache features lead radio single “He Does (Oh By the Way),” a cleverly penned, choir-assisted,
celebratory reminder about God’s role as a consistent provider and faithful friend. Heath co-wrote the
song with Kyle Williams (We Are Messengers, TobyMac), who produced the majority of the album
alongside additional production from Micah Kuiper (Jeremy Camp, Anne Wilson) and Cason Cooley
(NEEDTOBREATHE, Ellie Holcomb).

The new music follows a period of professional renewal that saw Heath release his first full-length
project in five years, Enough Already, which returned him to the top of the charts with his sixth No. 1
hit, “See Me Through It.” Moreover, he shared countless intimate evenings of stories and songs with
listeners across the country via his popular “Brandon in the Backyard” concert series.
No stranger to success, the Nashville native unveiled his major label debut in 2006, swiftly amassing
fans with his introspective vulnerability. Along with GRAMMY and Dove nods, he has garnered an
American Music Award nomination, an Emmy Award and an RIAA Platinum®-certified single courtesy
of his career-defining “Give Me Your Eyes.” Additionally, Heath’s been recognized as a top lyricist in
his field earning numerous songwriting accolades, including being named BMI’s Songwriter of the
Year, as well as coverage by People, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Billboard, CBS
Evening News and as a presenter on the 54th Annual GRAMMY® Awards.
