TRACE ADKINS LOVE WILL…

TRACE ADKINS JOINED BY COLBIE CAILLAT, HARLEM GOSPEL CHOIR AND EXILE ON
HIS 11TH STUDIO ALBUM LOVE WILL… SET FOR MAY 14 RELEASE
First Single: “Watch The World End” featuring Colbie Caillat
(Nashville, TN) – Trace Adkins’ 11th studio album, Love Will…
is set for May 14, 2013 release on Show Dog-Universal Music. The album
is all about the world’s greatest emotion and features collaborations
with two-time Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter, Colbie Caillat,
the esteemed Harlem Gospel Choir and Rock/Country veterans, Exile. Like
any labor of love, Love Will… benefits from relationships built
over time with an impressive list of producers like Tony Brown, Mark
Wright, Frank Rogers, Kenny Beard and Mickey Cones.
The
collection of sexy grooves, heart-wrenching ballads and up-tempo
anthems are worthy additions to Adkins’ long list of career hits. The
first single, “Watch The World End” featuring Colbie Caillat, speaks of
the undying commitment between two people who wouldn’t be anywhere else,
under any circumstances. The Harlem Gospel Choir backs Trace on the
title track, “Love Will” in the Gospel tradition of spreading love and
inspiration. Exile joined Trace on a new version of one of the biggest
radio hits of all time, “Kiss You All Over.” Adkins’ rich baritone is
well-matched with the suggestive lyrics and supported note for note by
these power players.

Trace
is known as a man of deep integrity with a deeply irreverent sense of
humor. He’s made a career keeping fans on their toes, making them laugh
(“Honky Tonk Badonkadonk), making their hearts swell (“Til The Last
Shot’s Fired”), and making them weep (“You’re Gonna Miss This”, “Every
Light In The House”).
“Now hold on one second!” says Trace. “This is an album of love songs but in my book,
‘Hot Mama’ and ‘Badonkadonk’ are love songs! So don’t start thinking
these are all ‘I’ll love you til the end of time’ ballads…but yeah,
we’ve got those too.”
As Trace points out, the variety on Love Will…is
layered. The album title itself is an open-ended question – love will
build a bridge? love will move mountains? love will tear us apart? Any
Country song can tell you that all of the above are true.
Leading up to album release, fans have been able to “get in on the love” at www.TraceAdkins.com
