Eric Church To Release Three Albums In April

Eric Church will release not one but three albums in April. He shared the news via a video message to members of his fan club, the Church Choir, yesterday (Thursday, Jan. 21st). The collection will be called Heart – & – Soul, and Eric said they are the result of the 28 days he spent in the mountains of North Carolina where all the songs were written and recorded.
He created the middle album, called &, specifically for the Church Choir and will make it available exclusively to those fans and only as a vinyl record on Tuesday, April 20th. The other two albums, Heart and Soul, will be available everywhere on Friday, April 16 and Friday, April 23, respectively. Pre-orders for all three albums begin next Friday (Jan. 29th).
Eric said, “I’ve always been intrigued when a song is born in a writer room – there is a magic that happens there. I wanted to put that in the studio form. So, every day, we would write a song in the morning and we would record the song that night. Doing it that way allowed for the songwriters to get involved in the studio process and the musicians to be involved in the creative process. You felt a little bit like you were secretly doing something that was special, and you knew it… You started going, ‘hmm, wait ’til the world finds out about this.’”
The three-album project includes a total of 24 songs.
Eric will team up with Jazmine Sullivan to perform the National Anthem during the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 7th at Tampa Bay’s Raymond James Stadium.
