John has recently completed his new album Forgiven with producer Ken Polk of Warner Brother Films and is being released on WBA Records.

"Pray", the first single off of the album, showcases McAndrew's gift of storytelling to aid in his reflection on past mistakes as well as using the art of prayer to seek as a way of seeking retribution. You can buy Forgiven on iTunes here: http://bit.ly/iTunes-Forgiven.
