This week, the song garners 4 more radio adds, totaling 78 AC and CHR stations spinning the hot track across the country and a move up Billboard’s CHR chart to No. 13.

Currently, radio programmer praise is flooding in, saying:

“I feel that Building 429’s ‘Listen To The Sound’ has potential to be song of the year for sure. The band has found a sound that A LOT of musicians look for their entire career. It’s a great tune with a catchy beat and hook that attracts listeners throughout the entire song, plus the message is AMAZING! This is a song with a sound that people will listen to.”
- Mike Van Vooren, Music Director, KKJM, St. Cloud, Minnesota

Titled Listen To The Sound, Building 429 has crafted a record that is sonically vibrant and lyrically substantive, with songs that collectively acknowledge life’s struggles, but point to the hope, grace and love of God. The 10-song project is produced by Jason Ingram and Rusty Varenkamp (Tenth Avenue North, Sanctus Real) and Rob Hawkins (Fireflight). Blessed with one of the most distinctive voices in any genre of music, lead singer Jason Roy, wrote or co-wrote nine of the ten tracks on the new album.

This month, Building 429 is headlining a 20-city “Listen to the Sound Tour,” featuring guest artists, Australian rockers Revive and pop foursome Anthem Lights.
