With songs such as lead single &#8220;Lonely If You Are&#8221; featuring sleek rhymes over heartland six strings and keys mixed with EDM-laced drama,\u00a0<em>The Album Part I<\/em>\u00a0is the same gravely-voiced Chase Rice fans first fell in love with years ago \u2013 but better. Freer. Unbeholden and uninhibited, somehow capable of evoking Chris LeDoux and\u00a0<em>The Chronic<\/em>, campfire singalongs and stadium anthems, all at once. The project follows his sophomore album,\u00a0<em>Lambs &amp; Lions<\/em>, released with Broken Bow Records in 2017 and featuring two-week chart-topper &#8220;Eyes On You&#8221; \u2013 Rice&#8217;s first No. 1 as an artist and the most-streamed song of his career with nearly 350\u00a0million streams and counting.\u00a0<em>Lambs &amp; Lions\u00a0<\/em>followed\u00a0<em>Ignite the Night<\/em>, which\u00a0debuted at No. 1 on\u00a0<em>Billboard<\/em>&#8216;s Top Country Albums and No. 3 on the all-genre chart, producing a pair of Top 5 hits; &#8220;Ready Set Roll&#8221; and &#8220;Gonna Wanna\u00a0Tonight.&#8221; After supporting Kenny Chesney&#8217;s\u00a0<em>The Big Revival\u00a0<\/em>stadium tour, Rice has consistently sold out 2,500-3,000 seat venues on his own headlining tours, plus served as direct support on the\u00a0<em>Luke Bryan Farm Tour 2018<\/em>.
