Fresh off his nomination for NEXT BIG THING in the 14th Annual We Love Christian Music Awards, NRT Music announces the release of Heart Surgery Vol. 2, the deeply personal new album from Psalms Of David, continuing the raw, confessional journey that began with Heart Surgery Vol. 1. More than a collection of songs, the project unfolds as a spiritual operation–an honest examination of sin, surrender, suffering, and the redemptive work of God on a broken heart.
Opening with “Heart Surgery (Psalm 51),” the album anchors itself in David’s prayer of repentance–“Create in me a clean heart, O God.” The track captures a moment of total submission before the Great Surgeon, laying everything bare and inviting God to do the deep, painful, and necessary work of transformation. From there, the record moves through the recurring struggle of growth and humility in “SCHOOL,” the testimony of rescue and dependence in “Where Else?,” and the emotional unraveling of “Overwhelmed,” where pride, idols, and self-deception come into full view.
The album’s turning point arrives with “job’s song :.(” a modern reflection inspired by the biblical story of Job. Even as everything is stripped away, the song declares an unshakable truth–salvation cannot be taken. That declaration carries into the hidden “Interlude 2 (Already Saved),” where the operation is declared complete. What feels like loss is revealed as resurrection, as flesh gives way to new life and eternal perspective.
Heart Surgery Vol. 2 closes with “Reverence,” a quiet, trembling response to encountering the holiness of God. Having seen himself clearly–and God even more so–Psalms Of David ends the journey not with resolution, but awe. It is the sound of a heart undone, healed, and overwhelmed by grace.
Known offstage as Ethan David, Psalms Of David writes from a place of raw honesty and vulnerability, creating music for those who recognize their brokenness and deep need for a Savior. His songs weave personal testimony with scriptural truth, never avoiding pain but always pointing toward hope and healing found in Jesus. With Heart Surgery Vol. 2, his prayer remains the same: that the lost would come home, the broken be made whole, and listeners would encounter not just an artist–but the real Jesus.
