NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Five-time
GRAMMY nominee and double platinum selling artist Hunter
Hayes released his first new music of 2017 today with the soaring and
electric guitar-driven track “Rescue.”
An artist who has always stressed the importance of helping others
through the power of music, Hayes has also partnered with Zappos.com to
create shoes that give back. “The Rescue Collection” is a limited line
that features artwork inspired by the song’s accompanying music video, which is also available everywhere today. Hayes shared an exclusive behind-the-scenes look with Entertainment Tonight this morning and also went into in-depth detail about the song’s inspiration with The Washington Post.
“I’ve always loved what music and charity organizations can do together,
and I think the tie in with this song is undeniable,” said Hayes.
“We’ve had the opportunity to work with so many awesome charities over
the years and I realized that, to me, they are exactly that: rescues.
They are places of refuge for so many people who need a friend to help
them through something or to be there for them. We’ve seen the power of
music in so many ways and I wanted ‘Rescue’ to be a song that we used
for good.”
All profits from “The Rescue Collection” will be donated to Zappos for Good,
the charity team at Zappos.com. These limited edition shoes will be
available during the holiday season and benefit a number of charitable
initiatives including the CMA Foundation, the charitable giving arm of
the Country Music Association that’s focused on improving and sustaining
music education programs everywhere, and Zappos’ annual Pawlidayz pet
adoption drive.
“We are thrilled about our partnership with Hunter and have been wowed
by his sincere interest in helping the world to be a better place by
using his music to inspire others. We are grateful to work with partners
who share our values and commitment,” said Steven Bautista, Head of
Charity at Zappos.com, known as Zappos for Good.
The shoes will be available starting December 2017 exclusively
on Zappos.com. All shoes will be accompanied by a digital download code
for “Rescue” and a personalized lyric sheet from Hayes. Until then, fans
can see Hayes perform “Rescue” and other new music live on tour
throughout the summer, with full dates and details below.
