FAITH is Isac Elliot’s third studio album released on his 17th birthday. Its release was preceded by a series of five singles that were coming out once a month from September 2017 to December 2017.
The album also includes Elliot’s older singles such as “Lipstick,” which features a rap verse from Tyga, released in 2015, or “Beast,” his collaboration with Tungevaag & Raaban, the DJ and dance music producer duo from the Nordics, which was released in 2016.
On the day of its release, the album has already gone gold in Finland and Norway, and the songs have already been streamed worldwide over 72 million times.
During the summer, I noticed that I’ve got lots of really strong tracks ready. I got the feeling that I didn’t want to hold on to them—this time I want people to hear them as soon as possible. That’s where we got the idea of releasing one single a month. Usually it might take up to a year between singles being finished and released, at worst, and in that time you’ve moved on to completely new things. This is amazing because I can offer these songs to people when they’re fresh for me, too. I believe my fans are as excited about this as I am.

The faith my fans have in me and my music has always been the most important thing to me. Nothing else matters, really. Without them, I couldn’t have done any of this and I wouldn’t have experienced all of these awesome times and things. They believe in me and I believe in them. That’s where the name FAITH comes from.

FAITH peaked at number 20 on the Suomen virallinen albumilista (Official Finnish Albums Chart) during the 1st week of 2018.
The album was also certified gold both in Finland and Norway on the day of its release.
