Anchored by Layton's #1 single "Look What You've Done" and her 2020 breakout hit "Into the Sea (It's Gonna Be OK)," How Far showcases four newly recorded selections, including the debut single and title-cut set to impact radio on April 29. A victorious anthem of assurance that God's grace cannot be outrun, "How Far" proclaims: "A million miles of my mistakes still couldn't keep Your love away/However far away I am from home/That's how far Your love will go."
"The whole album is summed up in the message of the title track, 'How Far,'" Layton shares. "It's about how God continues to reach out and pursue us even when we run from Him. It was God's love for us that propelled Him to give His life on the cross. Arms stretched open wide--that's how far He will go."
Layton co-wrote nine of the project's ten tracks, and How Far also features songwriting contributions from such names as Matthew West, We Are Messengers' Darren Mulligan, Matt Hammitt, Aaron Shust, Ethan Hulse, and Andrew Bergthold (We The Kingdom), among others.
Additional highlights of How Far include the shimmering synth-pop opener "Help Me Let Go"; "Catch My Breath," a plea for respite amidst the stress of life; and a new rendition of the worship anthem "Joy Comes In The Morning," which Layton originally recorded with Franklin, Tennessee's Church of the City worship team.
"I didn't shy away from any hard emotions with these songs, and I really tried to lean in and hear what God had to say about each of them," Layton says of How Far. "My hope is that listeners feel a sense of freedom in this album, understanding that God meets us even in the darkest of hours. The album speaks to God's intimate involvement in our lives, from the mundane to the biggest moments, throughout each and every season. God is in all of those things with us. He cares, He's kind, and He's working all things out for our good."
