Singer-songwriter Ryan Hamilton has released new single, “The Come To Jesus Moment” b/w a cover of Billy Joel’s “You May Be Right”,  available now on all streaming platforms via Little Steven Van Zandt’s Wicked Cool Records. 

“The Come To Jesus Moment” turns on “the tension between doubt and devotion, confrontation and escape.” The song “turns a familiar phrase into something far more personal—and far more pointed.”

Hamilton shares about the song:

When Stevie (Van Zandt) and I were working through the demos for the new album, he was really taking his time with the songs. Taking them apart, and putting them back together, in the best possible way. It resulted in most of the songs on the album becoming co-writes, which I was thrilled about. Stevie has a way of seeing a song’s potential and then making sure it reaches that potential.

Originally titled “Come To Jesus,” the song took on new life with a small shift.

Hamilton explains:

With ‘The Come To Jesus Moment,’ he didn’t really have any big changes. He liked the song as it was, but he had a minor tweak. He suggested changing the title and the lyric to ‘The Come To Jesus Moment.’ It seems like a small change, but it totally changed the feel and direction of the song. That minor change influenced the way I sang it, the feel, the emotion, the production—everything. I know Stevie loves this song, and I do too. I’m so proud of how it turned out.

“The Come To Jesus Moment” offers another preview of Hamilton’s forthcoming album from Wicked Cool Records.
