EARNS NOMINATIONS IN THREE CATEGORIES AT UPCOMING ACM AWARDS, INCLUDING ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

For 10-time GRAMMY nominee and reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year\u00a0Eric Church<\/strong>, the month-long session during which he wrote and recorded a song from start to finish each day was meant to push the limits of creativity and the resulting project, his highly anticipated triple album\u00a0Heart & Soul<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>set for release this April, proved the unconventional method a success.

What the songwriters and musicians sequestered in rural North Carolina during the early months of 2020 didn’t know, however, was just how drastically the world was about to change. And yet, several songs on the project offer an almost prescient message of resilience and hope that fans are eager to hear amidst the ongoing pandemic. With “Never Break Heart<\/strong>,” out now, Church delivers that encouragement earnestly:

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Don’t let fear steal your brave heart<\/em>
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Don’t let doubt take your faith heart<\/em>
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0It’s ok to cry, but don’t never break heart<\/em>

Church first shared the song nearly a year ago, just two months removed from its creation, when he performed\u00a0a stripped back version<\/a>\u00a0celebrated by\u00a0Billboard\u00a0<\/em>as a “dazzling performance” and by\u00a0Stereogum\u00a0<\/em>as “gracefully growly” on the “ACM Presents: A Salute to Our Country” television special.

“The hardest thing about this for me as a dad, as a husband, as a business leader, as a citizen, has been the unknown. I believe we fear the unknown,”<\/em>\u00a0Church shared that evening.\u00a0“Here’s what I know: I have hope and you should have hope, because since the beginning of time, people have gathered… and we will gather again. The important thing to remember is to not fear, to be brave, and to endure. That’s what this song is about.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
