“Praise The Lord” for Bad Realm Records / Atlantic Records / Warner Music Nashville artist BRELAND’s Amazon Music Breakthrough performance at the 57th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards Monday night (3/7) live from Las Vegas, NV. Joined by collaborator Thomas Rhett, The Tennessean hailed the debut performance as “both noteworthy and poignant,” while PEOPLE claimed “BRELAND took us all to church” making their list of "The Biggest Moments from the 2022 ACM Awards." “Praise The Lord (feat. Thomas Rhett)” is out now. Listen HERE.
“I knew when I wrote this song that Thomas Rhett had to be on it, and I wouldn’t put it out until I had him,” says BRELAND. “As I predicted, he added so much flavor and energy to the song. I’m going to be Praising the Lord for this collaboration and his friendship for a long time.”
Thomas Rhett raves, “BRELAND’s energy is so contagious - this song is such a blast! I’m so grateful to get to be a part of it. My kids can’t stop dancing to this one.”
“Praise The Lord (feat. Thomas Rhett)” will be featured on BRELAND’s just-announced debut album CROSS COUNTRY and is expected to release summer 2022. Pre-Save/Pre-Add HERE. The previously released title track was met with rave reviews from fans and critics alike, with Rolling Stone claiming the song is “a symbol of Country music’s ongoing evolution.” Taking it up a notch, BRELAND also released a duet version featuring Mickey Guyton.
