More than three years after dropping his 2014 album, Ignite the Night, Chase Rice will release his fourth studio album, Lambs & Lions, on Sept. 29. The 10-song offering, which includes seven songs co-written by Chase, features the lead single, “Three Chords & the Truth.”
“I’m not sure I’ll ever know the full reason why I had to struggle through two failed singles [“Whisper” and “Everybody We Know Does”] in a row after such an amazing start, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world,” said Chase. “God had my back the whole time, whether I knew it or not. Out of those failed singles I got ‘Three Chords & The Truth.’ I was fed up with trying—whether that was trying to be something I’m not, trying to make music that people said I should make or trying to make music I felt people wanted to hear. Instead I decided I’m going to make music that I needed to hear. When you go through tough times the truth always has a way of finding its way to you. This song was my truth. It’s the soul of my childhood, the songs that went along with it and the memories associated with those songs. It’s my heart waiting to be heard, and the songs that shaped it, especially in the third chorus.”
