Lee Brice will release his fifth studio album, Hey World, on Nov. 20.
Lee shared the news via Twitter on Sept. 9, saying: âHey World, do you think itâs time I release a new album?? My new album #HeyWorld releases 11.20.20, and you can pre-save/add/order it FRIDAY. Also available Friday is the new version of âHey World,â featuring my friend @blessingoffor. Canât wait for yâall to hear this new music!â
The upcoming albumâs lead single, âOne of Them Girls,â is currently No. 4 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. Lee released the albumâs hope-filled title track in May to address the COVID-19 pandemic. The new tune was penned by Lee, Dallas Davidson and Adam Wood in late March after the guys found themselves inundated with a negative news cycle regarding the pandemic.
âWe wrote this song from an introspective, truthful place and probably what most people are actually feeling right now,â says Lee. âWith everything that is happening in the world currently and how fast paced we are as a society in general, sometimes you just want everything to stopâjust to appreciate what we do have. People are suffering and it canât be ignored.â
On Sept. 11, Lee will release a new version of the title track that features Blessing Offor, who was on Season 7 of The Voice.
Hey World will follow the release of Leeâs 2017 self-titled album, which spawned No. 1 hit, âRumor,â and Top 20 hit, âBoy.â
