Surfaces’ Colin Padalecki on Turning His Hardest Year Into New Music

Surfaces’ Colin Padalecki joins Spout to talk about the next chapter of Surfaces, the new singles “Call Me When You’re Home” and “Blame It All On Me” featuring Mike Posner, and the upcoming seventh studio album. Colin shares why this new project feels like a fresh start while still staying connected to the feel-good Surfaces sound fans love. He talks about writing through one of the hardest seasons of his life, turning pain into something redemptive, and finding the silver lining inside a difficult year. The conversation also covers Forrest Frank’s departure from Surfaces, the story behind “Sunday Best” becoming a billion-stream cultural moment, working with Elton John on “Learn to Fly,” meeting Jack Johnson, and why the new album is about growth, honesty, and feeling human again. For fans of Surfaces, Mike Posner, Elton John, Forrest Frank, Jack Johnson, summer music, feel-good pop, and the creative story behind the songs hit play to hear Colin Padalecki spout off.
