CHASE RICE ANNOUNCES THE ALBUM SET FOR MAY 28 RELEASE WITH “JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!” PERFORMANCE

Multi-Platinum entertainer Chase Rice joined ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” yesterday, May 17, to perform current Top 20-and-climbing single “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” in celebration of the news that his full-length project, The Album, is officially set to arrive May 28. Pre-add/pre-save The Album HERE.

Rice first surprised fans with The Album Part I in January 2020, releasing seven songs (including the Platinum-certified Top 10 hit “Lonely If You Are”) with the promise of more to follow shortly thereafter. The Album Part II brought four additional songs, part of Rice’s desire to give fans new music more frequently than traditional album cycles allow. Available on all digital and streaming platforms on May 28, the full project will include all 11 previously released songs in addition to “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” (featuring Florida Georgia Line) and three brand new songs.

From Part I opener “American Nights,” planting a flag in eclectic new territory while celebrating a nation of diversity, to standout tracks “Messy” and “Forever To Go” as well as the uplifting “Belong,” a timely message which Rice added to Part II in direct response to the uncertainty caused by the worldwide pandemic, the Tennessean commends the project’s breadth of “stories from uncontrollable longing to time-tested love” while Billboard praises Rice’s “deftness at melding a number of styles, while always staying firmly within country confines.”

Brand new on The Album is “The Nights,” which sees Rice acknowledge the difficulty of moving on, toggling between singing and speaking to emphasize his most vulnerable moments; “Bedroom,” a sultry midtempo ode to romance; and “If I Didn’t Have You,” a reflective track that recognizes the way our loved ones push us to be the best versions of ourselves.

Fans will have the chance to hear the new music live as Rice joins Kane Brown on the NBA arena Blessed & Free Tour at the top of 2022. For a full list of dates and to purchase tickets, click HERE.
