Newcomer Breland has teamed up with country superstar Thomas Rhett on a new song, “Praise the Lord.”
Hours after releasing the track, the pair performed it live on the ACM Awards on Monday night. The hand-clapping, foot-stomping track taps into Breland’s gospel roots; he was raised by parents who were preachers in New Jersey. The lyrics name-check crispy chicken, Chevrolet trucks and Nelly‘s hit album Country Grammar, along with many other things worth praising.
“Praise the Lord for southern women, Hemi engines, crispy chicken/ Praise the Lord for east Atlanta, Country Grammar, and my nana/ Praise the Lord that I got everything I want and need and more/ I might turn up on Saturday, but first thing Sunday morn /I praise the Lord,” the twosome sing over an exuberant melody.
“PRAISE THE LORD x @thomasrhettakins out now!!! I’ve been playing this song on the road for a year,” Breland says on Instagram, while encouraging fans to drop a prayer emoji “if you’re rocking with it!” Thomas, meanewhile, excitedly writes, “Let’s goooo!”
Breland will drop his debut album, Cross Country, this summer.
