[Los Angeles, CA – September 13, 2024] — “Every drop means something” is a phrase that
encapsulates the overall message of Hulvey’s latest offering, CRY, an album represented as an
acronym: Communion, Reflection, and Yearning. Giving listeners 17 compelling reasons to
embrace vulnerability as a sacred path to deepening your relationship with God, released today
via Reach Records.

LISTEN HERE:

“I think ‘CRY’ is the definitive Hulvey album. There is a song for everyone,” says Hulvey. “My
hope is that listeners are comforted in these songs, recognizing that their tears are not in vain but
are a powerful expression of their journey with God. He knows you, He loves you, and He desires
to walk with you. Let every tear be a prayer.”

Throughout his new album, Hulvey reflects on his spiritual journey. He explores universal themes
that tie together our disparate experiences, broken up into three chapters that tell a heartfelt story
of redemption. This pious pursuit is complemented by features from artists like Torey D’Shaun,
Samm Henshaw, Alex Jean, and one of Hulvey’s closest collaborators Forrest Frank.

Cementing his status as a leader of a new generation, Hulvey’s sophomore album is a joyride
through worship and hip-hop. He delivers blunt-force bars that carry a true-to-life feel on “Poor
Party,” unfurls a tale of perseverance and determination on “Top Spinnin,” and delivers a source
of motivation for those who need it on “Battle Cry.” Of course, all roads lead to “Altar,” the closing
track to Hulvey’s new LP and one of his most popular songs among fans. The latter peaked at
#25 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs, with seven total weeks on the chart, and earned a
remix featuring Grammy Award-winning R&B-pop star Ciara.

Elsewhere, Hulvey just completed his late-summer US tour alongside Christian worship giants
Phil Wickman and Brandon Lake, making landfall in Detroit, Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and more before wrapping in Hawaii. In the five years since signing with Lecrae’s label, Hulvey has since won over audiences worldwide and it’s evident that his list of accolades will only continue to grow. With raw talent, proven superstar potential, and his relationship with God at the forefront of the conversation, it’s only a matter of time before Hulvey is shining bright enough for the rest of the world to take notice.
