Gotee Records' soulful pop-rock outfit Cochren & Co. is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of their highly anticipated third full-length album, Runs In The Blood, arriving May 29, 2026. Following the massive success of their 2023 project Running Home, this new 12-track collection further cements lead singer Michael Cochren's signature blend of blues, pop-rock, and American roots music.
The album's title track and lead single, "Runs In The Blood," has already begun making waves at Christian radio, serving as a powerful anthem of spiritual heritage and the transformative power of grace. Co-written by Cochren alongside Micah Kuiper and Lee Thomas Miller, the song explores the idea that God's love is a permanent part of a believer's identity-something that truly "runs in the blood."
"This album is a journey through the highs and lows of the last two years," says Michael Cochren. "We wanted to create music that feels like home but also pushes us into new territory. From the rock-heavy energy of 'Stand My Ground' to the vulnerable moments in 'My Only Hope,' these songs are about the grit and the glory of walking with God."The 12-track project includes several previously released fan favourites, such as the high-energy "Money Can't Buy" and the worshipful "What Grace Can Do," alongside eight brand-new tracks.
