Hope in Front of Me is the second studio album from the Christian musician Danny Gokey. It was released on June 23, 2014 by BMG Records. The album was produced by Josh Crosby, Bernie Herms, Aaron Sprinkle, Keith Thomas.
The lead single from the album is "Hope in Front of Me", released on February 18, 2014. In August, it peaked at No. 4 on the Hot Christian Songs chart, No. 1 on the Christian Airplay chart (lasted 3 weeks) and No. 27 on the Adult Contemporary chart of Billboard. "More Thank You Think I Am" and "Tell Your Heart to Beat Again" were subsequently released as singles, both placing in the top 20 on the Christian Songs chart and with the latter earning Gokey's highest chart peak to date (No. 2).
Gokey rose to national attention when he competed on American Idol, where he advanced to the final three before being eliminated. After his Idol appearance, he released the country music album My Best Days. Hope In Front of Me, his second album, is his first one in the Christian music market. The album was produced by Josh Crosby, Bernie Herms, Aaron Sprinkle and Keith Thomas.
Gokey co-wrote nine of the eleven songs and his lyric has been referred to as being akin to Phil Collins. The music is similar to the likes of Mark Schultz, Jonathan Thulin, Phil Stacey and Colton Dixon, and is in the vein of blue-eyed soul and dance-pop, with some elements of praise & worship. It also features "a country-pop sound that showcases his vocal range and tone".
