Forrest Frank knows what it feels like to start over. Before he became Billboard’s No. 1 new Christian artist of 2023, before *Child of God* spent months atop the charts, he was part of the pop duo Surfaces, creating sunshine-soaked anthems. But when he pivoted fully into Christian music, it wasn’t just a genre shift—it was a life shift. His hit “No Longer Bound” (with Hulvey) and his Hot 100 debut “Your Way’s Better” aren’t just catchy hooks; they are testimonies of someone who found something worth leaving everything for.
This is exactly the energy that pulses through Rocky Views’ *Growing Pain*. Hailing from Canada, Rocky doesn’t just make Christian R&B; he lives in the tension that Forrest Frank captures so well—the joy of salvation mixed with the grief of losing your old identity. On tracks like “Identity Shift,” Rocky Views croons over atmospheric production about the confusion of not fitting in anymore. It is the sound of someone who used to belong to the world but now feels like a stranger in it.
For fans of Forrest Frank, *Growing Pain* offers that same blend of vulnerability and vibes. It is music that doesn’t rush you to the finish line. It sits with you in the mess.
The EP is streaming now everywhere you listen to music. It has been featured on influential playlists like **Christian R&B (That’s Actually Good)** and **Christian R&B by Proper XL**, proving that the demand for authentic, emotionally resonant faith music is growing.
And if you want to understand the heart behind the music, Rocky Views has started a mini-documentary series on his YouTube channel. Much like Forrest Frank’s behind-the-scenes content that went viral on TikTok, these videos show the real person—the late-night doubts, the prayers in the car, the moments when you have to choose God even when it hurts.
