Lee Brice To Release New Album “Hey World” November 20

Curb Records recording artist, Lee Brice, is set to release his latest album, Hey World, on November 20th. The 15-track collection comes at one of the most unique times in modern history and Brice meets the moment as only he can – with the signature relatability in his lyrics and his captivating vocals.

Three of the album’s tracks including Top 5 current radio single, “One of Them Girls,” the #1 hit song with Carly Pearce, “I Hope You’re Happy Now,” and the newly released title track, “Hey World” (featuring Blessing Offor,) are all available today. 

Additionally, Brice has released the accompanying music video for “Hey World” (feat. Blessing Offor). The powerfully reflective video beautifully highlights the retreat from the overwhelming pressures of the world around us. Reminding us all to take a break from the bad news and spend some time with ourselves, loved ones, and be mindful of what truly matters. 

“We wrote the title-track from an introspective, truthful place, and probably what most people are actually feeling right now,” shares Brice. “With everything that is happening in the world currently, and how fast paced we are as a society, in general, sometimes you just want everything to stop – just to appreciate what we do have. People are suffering and it can’t be ignored.” 

Moving through the experience of these 15 songs takes you from the desire to shut out the craziness of the world through the song, “Hey World,” to a message from the great beyond to family and friends with “Save The Roses,” onto the stop-you-in-your-tracks “Lies,” then all the way back around to “Atta Boy” and “More Beer” – all-in providing a fully-immersive, perspective-bringing, real-life look at our world.

“Hey World is just my next step in life. Where I am, who I am, what I love, and what I feel,” says Brice. “From the songs, to the production, to the order they play in, I always have and still do make it my goal to get better and better at what I do. Short of my family, my wife and friends, my music is the deepest part of me. So, I am overjoyed to say that I think I have made my best project to date. I stand by everything I have ever done, but pull from it as well to help me exceed my own expectations. Because of my team, my co-producers, my engineers, my label, I was able to make what I hope will be my most successful album to date.”

Country Newcomer Gabrielle Mooney Releases Debut Single “Come On In”

Gabrielle Mooney released her acclaimed debut single “Come On In” on Friday, September 11. The reflective track is a sentimental nod to growing up on her family’s farm in her hometown of Natural Dam, Arkansas. The track enjoyed an exclusive, worldwide digital premiere with People Country on Thursday, September 10. 

“#ComeOnIn embodies my family and how I grew up,” Mooney shared to her followers on Instagram. I’m proud that I’m debuting this special song with my given name, Gabrielle.” 

Gabrielle’s strong sense of family and deep passion for music is one of the traits she shares with her younger brother Shay, of the Grammy-award winning group Dan + Shay. With her self-penned debut single, “Come On In,” Gabrielle brings to life the memories of her hometown which helped shape her along with those closest to her this deeply personal track. The captivating melody allows her strong vocals to shine throughout the heartfelt track. With this release, Gabrielle announces to both the world and country music that she’s her own woman with her own influences, and the only one that will write that story is herself. The song has also been championed by CMT on their Spotify channel. 

Under her pen name, Lyrx, Mooney recorded and wrote numerous songs, including co-writing Walker Hayes’ 2018 single “90’s Country.” This year, Mooney decided it was time for a change and wanted to honor her deep familial roots with the use of her given name. She told People, “My family cared so much about their values and Jesus that they named us with purposeful names, based on the Hebrew meanings.”

Raising a toast to all of the Friday nights that we wish would last forever, global superstars FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE reminisce on the country-style good times in their brand-new single, Long Live (BMLG Records), available now at all streaming platforms and digital retailers.

Acknowledging everyday moments that too often fly by, “Long Live” mixes laid-back gratitude with seize-the-moment energy, plus the smooth burn of an Old Camp nightcap. “Long live this way of life, long live nights like these,” salutes the arm-in-arm chorus. FGL’s Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley co-wrote the open-hearted tribute to moonlit hangs fueled with good intentions and good friends alongside Corey Crowder, David Garcia, and Josh Miller.

“This one is for the nights you never want to end. It’s a celebration of all the good times with great friends and cold drinks,” shares Hubbard and Kelley. “We had a lot of fun reminiscing when writing, and hope it takes our fans back too! Kick back with your loved ones, turn it up, and relive some of your glory days while making new memories. Long live!”

An upbeat electric guitar crunch delivers the euphoric track’s classic FGL hook, while pounding double-kick drums and programmed beats give this swaying Country rocker a forever-young twist. The weekend-whenever jam was co-produced by Hubbard, Kelley, and Crowder.
