Thomas Rhett is racing toward the top of the country charts with his latest hit, “Beer Can’t Fix,” but people can't stop talking about the song he released last week called “Be A Light.” He tapped his friends Keith Urban, Hillary Scott from Lady Antebellum, Reba and contemporary Christian singer Chris Tomlin to join him on the track, and although it's not a radio single, Thomas tells us the message needed to be heard right now.
[“I’ve been wantin’ to release ‘Be A Light’ since the day that I wrote it, and when all this stuff happened – I mean from the tornadoes in Nashville now to the COVID-19 / coronavirus – I feel like now there is no better time to release a song like ‘Be A Light.’ I just feel like the world was in darkness for a minute, and so I think a song like this can be really encouraging for people, and I am so proud of this song and really hope that this song can be an encouragement to people who are really going through kind of a tough time right now.”] SOUNDCUE (:25 OC: . . . time right now.)
Thomas performed "Be A Light" acoustically from his Nashville home during Sunday (April 5th) night's ACM Presents: Our Country special on CBS.
