Three years after her breakout debut, RIAA Platinum®-selling and Dove Award-winning singer-songwriter Katy Nichole is back with her most personal work yet. Honest Conversations, her sophomore album out now via Centricity Music, finds the Christian pop artist digging deep into faith, mental health, and the journey toward self-acceptance.

Available on all streaming platforms, the 12-track project was produced by GRAMMY® nominee Jeff Pardo and includes the viral hit “When I Fall” — a Top 5 Billboard radio single with over 200 million views on TikTok and a 2025 Dove Award-nominated music video. Other standouts include the title track “Honest Conversation” and “Learning How to Love Myself,” both tackling themes of depression and doubt, as well as the faith-centered “Have Your Way” and “I Found Jesus.”

Nichole says her goal with the record is simple: connection.

“Music is a universal language, and I feel as though it gives us a safe place in some of our darkest moments,” she shares. “Sometimes a word or melody meets us exactly where we are when we need it the most. I hope these songs meet you where you’re at and start your healing journey.”

That healing journey is something Nichole knows firsthand. After undergoing two major back surgeries in her teens and grappling with the mental health challenges that followed, she leaned on songwriting and her faith as lifelines. “Until I die, I’ll constantly be healing,” she says. “However, I’m going to find so much beauty in this life through that.”

The album arrives as Nichole’s career continues to soar. Her 2023 debut Jesus Changed My Life spawned three No. 1 radio hits — “In Jesus Name (God of Possible),” “Hold On,” and “God Is In This Story” — and earned her an American Music Award nomination, a K-LOVE Fan Award, and the Gospel Music Association’s New Artist of the Year honor. She’s also shared stages with Casting Crowns, Jeremy Camp, Tauren Wells, and more.

Fans can catch Nichole on the road this summer and fall, with performances at major Christian festivals and Women of Joy events alongside speakers like Candace Cameron Bure and Lysa TerKeurst. Her tour includes stops at SoulFest (Aug. 15), the Ark Encounter (Aug. 23), and multiple dates in Pigeon Forge, TN this October.
