Heath was inspired by a deaf fan, Ian Myers which had sent him interpretations in signs of his songs. Araya Williamslongtime interpreter and friend, helped coordinate ASL talents for this project, involving deaf artists like Renca Dunn, Colin Analco And Brandon Gaskin.
“The complement” tackles themes of loss and length, with songs like “Gospel Truth” And “He does (oh by the way)”who highlight faith and confidence in God. Another song, “Scars”was written after the shooting at the Covenant school to honor his friend, the chaplain Matthew Sullivan.
