"As I sat down with Phil and the entire eOne team, I realized we have the same goal, and that's to unapologetically push Gospel music to new heights," Haddon said in a statement obtained by The Christian Post.

"I officially started on my new solo record this week. I'm taking a break from t.v. for a minute to put my heart & soul in this record," Haddon wrote on Instagram. "I'm in a very solemn yet creative place and I feel my good songs coming!! #newalbum2015 #Official #creativity #Art #gospel #Soulful #Dhvisions."
