{"product_id":"the_heat","title":"The Heat","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Heat is the second studio album by South Carolina Christian rock band Needtobreathe, released on August 28, 2007 via Atlantic Records and Word Entertainment. Recorded during a six-month period at producer Rick Beato's Black Dog Studio and Paul Diaz's Tree Sounds in Atlanta — with Collective Soul frontman Ed Roland also sharing production credits — the 14-track, 52-minute album marked a significant step forward from the band's 2006 debut Daylight. Where the debut leaned heavily on relationship-driven lyrics, The Heat moves into more spiritual and introspective territory, while musically adopting a more subdued and melodic character rooted in Southern rock, with harmonica, piano, and driving pop-rock sensibilities that the band would carry forward throughout their career. It reached No. 164 on the Billboard 200 and earned Dove Award nominations for both Rock\/Contemporary Album of the Year and Rock\/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year for \"Signature of Divine (Yahweh).\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album's most enduring tracks include \"Washed by the Water,\" which became one of the band's signature songs, and \"More Time,\" which was featured in the 2007 film P.S. I Love You. Apple Music noted the album as \"a bid for mass appeal that manages to sound uncompromised in both its music and message,\" while Mix Online highlighted the band's ability to move seamlessly between soft melodic passages and punchier rock moments without losing focus. Though long out of print on vinyl, the album was reissued in 2026 as a double LP by Omnivore Recordings, newly re-cut by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl\/Sam Phillips Recording Service in Memphis, with laser-etched artwork on Side 4 — a testament to its enduring status among the band's most beloved records.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ 2LP","offer_id":53626795098426,"sku":"38509","price":54.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-06-18_at_8.35.59_PM.jpeg?v=1781829479","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/the_heat","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
