Lee Brice | Superstar Power Hour

Following the recent release of his new single, “Drinkin’ Buddies,” Lee Brice is excited to share even more new music with a brand new album. “I say this about every record, but it is the most ‘me’ record, songs, music all of it, that I’ve ever done,” Lee told Audacy’s Katie Neal of the forthcoming record during his time on the Superstar Power Hour. Nearing the 14th anniversary of releasing his debut album, Love Like Crazy, Lee is reflecting on the new-found freedom he feels while making music. “[I’m] just kinda at a point in my life where I want to do the music that I want to do and I don’t wanna necessarily feel like there’s boundaries or walls or genres,” he said. “Country music is truth, it’s who I am, so whatever comes out of me — I’ve got everything from Soul to Pop to Rock to Blues to very Country, Country, Country all the way down to the roots, Gospel — but this thing has a lot of all that.” While it has a little bit of everything, the 44-year-old shared he is most excited about a Gospel-rooted song, "When the Kingdom Comes," that he says represents not only his favorite song on the whole project, but also represents who he is. “If I had to play you one song from the whole record, it’d probably be this one gospel sort-of song [‘When the Kingdom Comes’] It wouldn’t be the single, just because I care what people know about me and what they think about where I’m at in my life and that’s where I’m at in my life.” Don’t let the couple of Gospel songs throw you, Lee promises plenty of good time anthems, quick-witted and playful tunes as well. “We have some really, really, really fun stuff [like] ‘Said No Country Boy Ever,’ ‘Drinkin’ Buddies’ is amazing.” He concluded, “It’s very diverse, I’ve always had kind of diverse records, but it’s got a thread through it.” Hear more about the new music, family updates and the story behind his tackiest taxidermy by checking out his entire conversation with Audacy’s Katie Neal above.
