Carly Pearce Enlists Lee Brice For Duet Track On Her Sophomore Album

CMA Awards New Artist of the Year nominee Carly Pearce trades soaring vocals with GRAMMY Awards Song of the Year nominee Lee Brice on their new single “I Hope You’re Happy Now.” Their honey-soaked, whiskey-drenched pairing is out September 27 on Big Machine Records.

Carly and Lee surprised fans earlier today, both teasing their unexpected duet for fans during Facebook Live chats. Carly co-penned “I Hope You’re Happy Now” alongside Luke Combs, Jonathan Singleton and Randy Montana before recording with frequent collaborator and esteemed producer busbee.

“I am so excited to share such a personal part of my story with one of the best male vocalists in our format,” expressed Carly. “Lee has the kind of gruff yet vulnerable quality to his sound that I envisioned for this duet and am grateful he agreed to join me. This song is raw and real, truly something I think many people around the world will relate to.”

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Carly on this track,” said Lee. “She has such a beautiful and powerful voice and definitely has a huge career ahead of her. Hope everyone loves this song as much as we did recording it!”

The bold offering follows “Closer To You” and showcases another sound from Carly’s anticipated sophomore album, slated for 2020. Lighting a fire with her debut album EVERY LITTLE THING, the No. 1 GOLD-certified title track designated Carly as the highest charting solo female debut since July 2015, joining an elite group of only three women to accomplish this feat the last decade. Her blockbuster ballad steered a chart-topping trifecta on SiriusXM’s The Highway that also includes “If My Name Was Whiskey” and “Hide The Wine.”

Carly is currently on the road with Jason Aldean’s RIDE ALL NIGHT TOUR, which continues this weekend with stops in Charlotte, NC (9/12), Raleigh, NC (9/13) and Burgettstown, PA (9/14). For a full list of dates and more, visit CarlyPearce.com and follow along at Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Kip Moore Shows Off His Playful Side In “She’s Mine” Music Video

Multi-PLATINUM singer/songwriter Kip Moore dropped the official music video for his new single “She’s Mine,” today on VEVO, available to watch here. The song that has been praised by Billboard as a “pulsing” track that “leans on the heartland rock influences that earned him [Moore] frequent comparisons to Bruce Springsteen” compliments the new video that shows a more lighthearted side of Moore while searching for love.

Directed by PJ Brown, the video for “She’s Mine” has Moore cutting up with a wide cast of potential love interests, as he navigates the search for the one throughout the “high octane looking-for-love song” (Tennessean).

“She’s Mine” is the first taken from Moore’s upcoming fourth studio album and was one of the most-added singles at country radio upon its debut.

“Filming the video for this single is some of the most fun I’ve had shooting a music video in a long time,” shared Moore. “We just got to let loose and riff-off of the incredible cast we were working with. I can’t wait for the fans to see it.”

Moore just returned from his second noteworthy headlining stint in The U.K. this year where he was praised as “without a doubt the best live performer on the Country circuit right now” (Entertainment Focus). Moore is currently gearing up to continue his “wildly successful” (Chicago Tribune) ROOM TO SPARE: ACOUSTIC TOUR for a third leg this fall, following two previously sold-out runs meeting capacity crowds at every stop in the U.S., Canada and The U.K.. The anticipated run will kick off in Grand Rapids, MI on 10/10 and Moore has invited special guests Tucker Beathard, Devin Dawson and Kylie Morgan along for select dates.
