‘What You Heard’ coming April 28
Multi-platinum, six-time Grammy Award-winner Amy Grant’s first new music in a decade, the observe “Bushes We’ll By no means See,” is now out there throughout all DSP’s, together with a scenic lyric video.
Billboard spoke with Grant final week about creating new music, the poignant new single, and the way “the reward of life’s fourth quarter is the angle and consciousness and the appreciation of all of it.”
Because the age of 15, and now in her early 60s, Grant has actually by no means stopped making music, and her most pleased place to make music is with buddies. Whereas she has continued to launch music, it has been 10 years since she’s launched new songs, the final being her critically acclaimed album “How Mercy Appears to be like From Right here.” That have with producer and songwriter Marshall Altman was so rewarding and life-giving that Grant referred to as on Altman once more in 2023 to supply two new songs, together with “Bushes We’ll By no means See.” “What You Heard,” co-written with Natalie Hemby and Barry Dean, is scheduled to launch April 28.
“ ‘Bushes We’ll By no means See’ is a type of life-lesson, encouraging songs that remind us that we’re not alone, we now have a objective, and the seeds we plant at present are so necessary,” Grant mentioned. “Even when we ‘by no means see’ the fruit or the bushes that develop from these seeds in our lifetime, it’s all the time necessary to put money into individuals, buddies, household and people we could by no means even meet.”
Whereas it was penned by Altman and Michael White, “Bushes We’ll By no means See” is true Amy Grant in that the knowledge imparted within the lyric, paired with unimaginable musicianship (together with Vince Gill on guitar) will be magical. This music has new colour palettes rooted in singer-songwriter and Americana leanings which have all the time been half Grant’s music, however much more so now.
Grant is at the moment in the course of her spring tour run, with many dates already bought out. All through 2023 she will likely be hitting 70 cities throughout the U.S., and is happy to share new music and fan favorites.
