Nashville, Tenn. (July 16, 2018) The already glimmering star continues to shine for two-time Grammy® award-winning duo for KING & COUNTRY and their new single, “joy.” The song was included on USA Today/The Tennessean’s “Best Songs of the Year” (so far) all-genre list, proclaiming “’joy.’ is an infectious, upbeat anthem about choosing to be joyful in the face of hardship. The video, co-starring Candace Cameron Bure, is also noteworthy – a 1960’s mini-movie that showcases the GRAMMY-winning Smallbone brothers at their creative best.” View music video HERE.
