The Fray released their sophomore effort to the Christian market yesterday. The band, who sold 3.2 million copies of their debut album How To Save A Life, chose to release their second album in both markets.
That's kind of unusual in a time when a lot of Christian bands are trying to separate themselves from the Christian artist label in order to find mainstream success. But in a video for the song "You Found Me", lead vocalist Isaac Slade says that this is what they would have done the first time if they had the time and where they want to go for the rest of their career.
The first single "You Found Me" was released to Christian radio early this year, and landed at #23 on R&R's Christian CHR. The song was also used as the promo for the new season of ABC's "Lost."
"You Found Me" is a tough song for me,” comments Slade on the band’s MySpace page. “...There's some difficult circumstances my family and friends have been going through over the past year or so and can be overwhelming. It wears on me. It demands so much of my faith to keep believing, keep hoping in the unseen. Sometimes the tunnel has a light at the end, but usually they just look black as night. This song is about that feeling, and the hope that I still have, buried deep in my chest."
