(October 28, 2021 – Nashville, TN) Curb Records recording artist, Lee Brice, has nabbed his first-ever nomination for the American Music Awards in the Favorite Country Album category for his latest album, Hey World. The nomination follows Lee’s fourth consecutive #1 at Country radio with his massive hit, “Memory I Don’t Mess With.” The reflective Hey World also scored Lee the #1 spot with tracks “One of Them Girls” and “I Hope You’re Happy Now” with Carly Pearce.
“What a incredible honor,” says Lee. “Putting this album together during a pandemic presented us with some challenges, but also created new ways of making music that I will for sure lean back on in the future. I am proud to say that at the end of the day, it’s one of the best pieces of work I’ve ever put together. A big, huge thank you to all my collaborators and team who helped me write, and put these songs together like we did, and an even bigger thank you to all the fans who have supported me and music for all these years!”
The 15-track collection was released during one of the most unique times in modern history. Moving through the experience of these songs takes you from the desire to shut out the craziness of the world through the title track, “Hey World,” to a message from the great beyond to family and friends with “Save The Roses,” onto the stop-you-in-your-tracks “Lies,” then all the way back around to the good times with lively tracks like “Atta Boy” and “More Beer” – all-in providing a fully-immersive, perspective-bringing, real-life look at our world today.
The American Music Awards will take place on Sunday, November 21st at 7:00pm CST on ABC.
