Trent Harmon Finds Purpose On New EP ‘SCARS & SINS’
Trent Harmon finds purpose with his first official foray into Christian music with new EP SCARS & SINS – out today across all digital and streaming platforms. The American Idol winner found mainstream success in the country spotlight with a record deal, major tours with Rascal Flatts and Dan + Shay, and his first hit single, “There’s A Girl.”
Despite the commercial milestones, Harmon often found himself pulled back to the church roots that first gave his voice meaning. The new six song EP includes sentimental, feel good tunes like “Make Her Laugh,” as well as more worship driven songs like “You’ll See My Face.” It’s a welcome shift, and one that has led to peace and a new sense of creative drive for Harmon.
“I think life is about finding your calling and purpose,” shares Harmon. “For me music has always played such an intricate part of who I am. But something was always missing. It is my faith in God that has led me to this place in my musical journey.
Through this “Scars & Sins” project I have been able to realize what’s truly important to me in my music. Building the Kingdom, spreading God’s love, and helping to save the lost is what this project is all about. I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you all now”.
SCARS & SINS Tracklisting:
1. “Scars & Sins” (Jimmy Robbins, Mozella, Trent Harmon)
2. “Beautiful Lord” (Leeland Mooring, Marc Byrd)
3. “Jealous of Angels” (Bob DiPiero, Rob Hatch, RaeLynn)
4. “Forever Home” (Ian Christian, Cassidy Lynn, Trent Harmon)
5. “You’ll See My Face” (Mark Masri, Stephan Moccio)
6. “Make Her Laugh” (Jimmy Robbins, Laura Veltz, Josh Thompson, Trent Harmon)
Earlier this month, the singer-songwriter hinted at this shift with a poignant social media post of a video he filmed after a “particularly great” show in 2018 that still left him feeling unfulfilled and with the overwhelming urge “to point a light towards heaven.” Life slowed down and priorities shifted after Harmon got married in 2020 and welcomed his first child in 2023.
Through it all, worship kept calling him back, and Harmon couldn’t shake the feeling that he was meant for something more. “I’ve reached thousands through Idol and touring, but every time I led worship, I felt fulfillment I never found on a country stage.”
