Latest Studio Album

The album went on to become the duo's highest charting debut on the Billboard 200, at number 7. It also became their first number one entry on the Billboard's Christian Albums chart.

Apart from commercial success, Burn the Ships received widespread critical acclaim as well. Recently the duo won two Grammys, one in the 'Best Contemporarily Christian Music Album' category while the other one was for a remixed version of the song God Only Knows in the category of 'Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song.'

The song Pioneers is a group effort featuring the spouses of both the musicians. Another song Hold Her is a much moving ballad which can be easily taken as a prayer for help and courage. The number God Only Knows talks about human experiences which can only be understood by God. Joy is unarguably one of the most impressive songs on the collection. It is a plea to God for joy in a situation where the act is struggling to find contentment.
