TobyMac Walks Through The Valley To Get To ‘Heaven On My Mind’

TobyMac has released his ninth studio album, Heaven On My Mind, today (March 7), along with the title track’s lyric video.

On the 12-track project, he navigates the intersection of suffering and awe, discovering moments of joy amid the pain. He channels the heartache of losing his firstborn son into relatable, hope-infused music. However, it’s his reflections on eternity that ultimately shape Heaven On My Mind. The album isn’t simply a perspective shift, it’s a changing of seasons as a very long winter turns into spring.

“Heaven On My Mind is this journey of going from total ashes to crawling to walking to standing up. It was me figuring out how to relate to God again, leading to all these questions, and ultimately something beautiful,” he reflects. “I have a deeper relationship with God than I’ve ever had, because I walked through the valley with Him, and I decided I trusted Him.”

TobyMac has been giving concertgoers a taste of his upcoming album, including an acoustic performance of his latest hit, “A lil Church (nobody’s too lost),” which is currently climbing the Top 20 at Mediabase AC. He’s also been showcasing an energized live rendition of his chart-topping lead single, “Nothin’ Sweeter,” with the original version spent nine weeks at No. 1. Heaven On My Mind follows his 2022 Dove Award-winning album Life After Death, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Christian Albums chart and earned five No. 1 hits.

The hitmaker is currently touring across the country on this year’s 32-date “Hits Deep Tour,” which also features Crowder, CAIN, Ryan Stevenson and Terrian.
