Nashville, Tenn. (May 9, 2017) – Poised and prepared for a massive summer of success, breakout talent CHRIS LANE’s
star continues to rise as his latest single, “For Her,” has now cracked
the Top 25 on the Billboard and Country Aircheck airplay charts, his
second trip into the upper echelons of Country radio.
Foreshadowing a year sure to be filled with career milestones, the
R&B-infused hit has also made a huge impact on digital platforms,
gathering over 20 MILLION Spotify streams and rocketing to #1 on the
iTunes Top Country Songs chart in January following Lane’s special
appearance on ABC’s reality romance series The Bachelor.
Written by Kelly Archer, Sarah Buxton and Matt Dragstem, “For Her” is a
devoted, hearts-on-fire confession of love and the second release from
Lane’s Big Loud Records debut album, GIRL PROBLEMS, which arrived in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Country Albums chart upon its release in August 2016.
It’s the follow-up to his GOLD-certified #1 debut, “Fix,” which first
introduced the North Carolina native as a genre-defying crooner with
sky-high vocals and swagger to spare, leading to nominations for New Male Vocalist of the Year at the 52nd ACM Awards and Best New Country Artist at the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Lane recently took “For Her” to late-night TV, delivering an energetic performance of the track on
CONAN,
and thrilled Canadian fans over the weekend as he wrapped up the last
few sold-out shows as an opening act on Florida Georgia Line’s DIG YOUR
ROOTS TOUR.
This
summer, he’ll join select dates of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s
long-awaited SOUL2SOUL TOUR reboot, and also serve as the featured
supporting artist on FGL’s THE SMOOTH TOUR 2017 alongside hip-hop icon
Nelly. THE SMOOTH TOUR 2017 – which will also feature pop idols
Backstreet Boys for three historic stadium concerts – kicks off June 2
in Austin, Texas.
