Song:Eyes On You
Album:Lambs & Lions
After starting out as an athlete, songwriting success led Chase Rice to a country music career. Maybe you saw him on Survivor. He was born Sept. 19, 1985 in Ormond Beach, FL. but he grew up in Ashville, NC. Rice was a linebacker on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill football team. He did not pursue an NFL career due to injury. Instead he joined the Hendrick Motorsports pit crew. He won two NASCAR Championships with Jimmie Johnson. Then he appeared on the CBS reality series Survivor: Nicaragua. After finishing second, Rice got more serious about music. He began playing guitar in college. After releasing an album and an EP, Rice co-wrote the song Cruisin' which topped the Country Singles chart for Florida Georgia Line. He signed with Columbia for the 2013 EP Ready Set Roll and the 2016 album Ignite the Night. Ready Set Roll and Gonna Wanna Tonight were top ten Country singles. The album Ignite the Night was certified Gold. He started working on a new album and released the 2016 single Whisper. When it flopped and was slammed for not being country enough, Rice issued an apology to his fans. This led to him leaving Columbia for BMG's Broken Bow label. The album Lambs & Lions was released Nov. 2017. The single Eyes On You reached #3 on the Country Singles chart. Rice seems much happier on Broken Bow. He accused Columbia of trying to stifle his creativity. He wrote Eyes On You with with veteran songwriters Chris DeStefano and Ashley Gorley and DeStefano produced. Rice will tour Europe in early 2020. He should have a new album coming as a single was released in May. Here's the video for Eyes On You by Chase Rice.
