Gearing up for the February 8th release, Crazy Love, Hawk Nelson celebrates another No. 1 CHR single with the title track “Crazy Love.” The debut radio single had a huge jump from No. 7 to No. 1 this week. This song has also moved into the Top 10 at Rock and No. 22 on the National Christian Audience chart. Such reception to this song is a positive indication of the forthcoming release on Tooth & Nail Records / BEC Recordings.

“‘Crazy Love’ is an anthem for people seeking to love God more passionately and our listeners can’t hear it enough.”
– Paul Goldsmith (Air 1 APD/MD)

“The topic of love in songs on our station is really one that our listeners have responded to favorably, and the challenge in this song for our listeners to step out on a limb, be crazy, and see how God responds when you are obedient, coupled with a cool sounding song, is the type of song we want.  Congrats on that HUGE jump to #1, Hawk Nelson!”
– Johnathon Eltrevoog (WONU PD)
Hawk Nelson will be taking their popular live show on the road with the Women of Faith girls’ conferences – the REVOLVE tour. The tour begins in Dallas, TX on January 21st (Revolve dates below).  Due to great response from previous years, this will mark the band’s third time on the REVOLVE tour.

Crazy Love will hit stores next month showcasing what Hawk Nelson promises to be a combination of pop/rock and new styles with a “truth” theme.  Being more transparent and overt about their faith on this release, Hawk Nelson also wants to continue to encourage fans to love like crazy as stated in the debut radio single. In addition to Crazy Love, Hawk Nelson will also be releasing The Light Sides, acoustic/stripped down versions of their hit songs from their four previous albums.  The Light Sides will only be available with the purchase of Crazy Love. Fans can pre-order their copy of Crazy Love + The Light Sides online here.
