Country duo 2 Lane Summer is due to drop “God Made You,” ft. Kieran The Light on Valentine’s Day.

In a special edition of Holy Culture Radio’s Artist Spotlight, host J. Harrington sat down with this eclectic trio of artists for an engaging conversation about collaboration, innovation, and faith-based music. Kieran The Light, alongside Joe Hanson and Chris Ray from 2 Lane Summer, shared insights on their groundbreaking venture that brings together unique musical backgrounds and faith-driven creativity.

Meet the Artists

Joe Hanson and Chris Ray, from 2 Lane Summer, hail from a fusion of worship and country music backgrounds. They described their journey with country music in the context of kingdom work, a space where they feel called to integrate musical genres while maintaining an uplifting message.

A True Musical Collaboration

As the conversation delved deeper, the artists revealed the exciting story of “God Made You,” describing it as a blend of genres with a powerful message celebrating love and faith.

Joe and Chris recounted the serendipitous meeting in a writer’s room downtown, which sparked the creation of one of their biggest hits, “Eyes That Ain’t Yours.” The collaboration with Kieran wasn’t initially planned, but when Ash Bowers, a shared contact, presented Kieran with the song, the synergy was undeniable. Within an impressive 30 minutes, Kieran infused the track with his distinct style- using his wife as muse for the powerful bars, letting thoughts of her fuel his creativity.

Breaking Genre Boundaries

The conversation also touched on the broader trend of genre-defying collaborations, drawing parallels with artists like Machine Gun Kelly and Jelly Roll, who have crossed musical divides to create something uniquely their own. As the landscape of music shifts towards an open-minded acceptance of genre blends, Joe expressed excitement about the creative possibilities that emerge from these experiments. For Kieran, the objective remains clear: spreading the gospel through diverse musical expressions, emphasizing the shift towards universal music language that transcends traditional genres.

The Impact of Positive Music

The importance of positive and uplifting music was highlighted as a common thread in their musical journeys. In a world aching for positivity, the merging of country, Christian, and gospel influences offers audiences heartfelt and meaningful content. With faith-based lyrics at its core, “God Made You” is poised to resonate deeply with both new listeners and long-time fans of both artists.

Where to Find “God Made You”

Excitement mounts as Joe, Chris, and Kieran invite listeners to experience their creation, “God Made You (Remix),” available on all major streaming platforms including Spotify and Apple Music. Listeners are encouraged to follow their social media at @TwoLaneSummer to enjoy visualizers and upcoming content related to the release.

As the session concluded, gratitude filled the room, with the artists expressing appreciation for the opportunity to share their story and music with Holy Culture Radio’s audience. The collaboration between Kieran The Light and Two Lane Summer stands as a testament to the power of music to unite, inspire, and spread an unwavering message of love and faith.
