Peopled with Dreams was produced by Jacob Early and John Mark McMillan and recorded at Hawk's Den Studio in Charlotte, NC. The album was mixed by Chad Howat and mastered by Jonathan Berlin. [4]
While McMillan typically would have toured the album soon after its release, he was unable to embark on the Awake in the Dream Tour until late 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tour stopped at various locations across the United States, and McMillan was joined on tour by Strahan, The Gray Havens, and Antoine Bradford. [5]
Peopled with Dreams peaked at No. 47 on Billboard'}s Top Christian Albums chart, but did not chart outside the Christian genre like his previous release. [6] The album was received well by reviewing critics, though it received little critical attention.
