Muscle Shoals, AL native, songwriter and dynamic vocalist Rachel Purcell releases her first, six-song Centricity Music EP, Mercy & Me, today (Aug. 1). Available at digital and streaming outlets globally from https://rachelpurcell.lnk.to/MercyandMe, the EP features Purcell’s soulful pop debut, “Show Up,” the catchy, up-tempo “New Name” and sunny singalong “Have Church,” which is going for adds at Christian radio Sept. 26.

With songs produced by Jeff Pardo (TobyMac, Katy Nichole), Andy Skib (Kenny Chesney, Brett Eldredge), Colby Wedgeworth (Jordan Feliz, Jeremy Camp), and Chuck Butler (Tauren Wells, India Arie), Mercy & Me captures Purcell’s passionate journey of creating music inspired by her real life experiences that are deeply rooted in her unwavering faith.

“Looking back at how I dove into writing all these songs, I realized how the theme of salvation is found in every lyric. This EP is a reflection on the miracle of salvation and the final track, ‘Mercy & Me,’ captures the beautiful moment Christ opened my eyes and filled me with belief, awe and repentance,” says Purcell. “I pray that wherever you are on your journey, God gives you exactly what you need from these songs.”

“Have Church” chorus:

We about to have church

Raise a hallelujah

Tell the good news

Wherever we are is a front row pew

(Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah, nah)

All around the world

We about to have church

Give Him all the glory

Praise it on up

Wherever we are He’s alive in us

(Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah, nah)

All around the world

We about to have church





Rachel Purcell - “Have Church” (Official Lyric Video)

1) Have Church

About Rachel Purcell:

Since releasing her debut single “Damage” in 2018, Muscle Shoals, AL native Rachel Purcell (fka Rachel Wammack) has been touted for her “powerful, soaring pipes” (Billboard) and her raw and honest storytelling. The rising star and dynamic vocalist was named one of Rolling Stone's “10 New Country Artists You Need To Know,” part of CMT's “Next Women of Country” and Bobby Bones’ “Women of iHeartCountry,” and deemed an “Artist to Watch” by Pandora, Entertainment Weekly and MusicRow. Featured in other trendsetting outlets like People, Taste of Country and Paste Magazine, Purcell has also performed overseas and shared stages with country music icons such as Trisha Yearwood, Rascal Flatts and Reba McEntire.

Signing an exclusive, worldwide recording and publishing contract with Centricity Music last year, Purcell has also released her three-song, three-video Live from Muscle Shoals EP recorded just down the road from where she grew up at Fame Recording Studios. She had no idea she would one day follow in the footsteps of many of the iconic musicians who have recorded there.
