As a part of the final installment of the Better View project, Switch releases their latest single, “This Is The Love.” Accompanied by a lyric video, the song is an upbeat and uplifting declaration of hope meant to help listeners understand God’s love for them.
“We’re passionate about creating meaningful music that meets people in the middle of life’s difficulties and shines a light on the truth of the Gospel,” said Switch’s Cassidy Estevez.
Cassidy adds, “We hope this song helps listeners understand that in every moment—high or low—God sees them, He loves them, and He will never let them down.”
Along with the songs from Better View, Part I and Better View, Part II, the single will be featured on the Better View Deluxe album that is slated for release on June 17 (Sony Music/Provident’s Essential Worship). Also on the upcoming album are never-before-heard acoustic versions of “Better View” and “If U Only Knew,” as well as a radio edit of “perfection” and another new track called “All Day Long.”
Having turned their a cappella, on-the-job serenades into a national recording career, The Singing Contractors have assembled Hard Workin’ Man, a CD and DVD offering of country classics from Gaither Music Group.
Distributed by Capitol Christian Music Group and Universal Music, Hard Workin’ Man is available now at national retail and on all digital streaming platforms. See TV special airing info below.
“We are so excited about this new record,” stated Aaron Gray. “From the beginning of this recording process we wanted this album to connect with the everyday, hard workin’ man and woman.”
“Working as contractors while getting to sing and perform, we can relate to how many of our listeners feel day in and day out,” added Josh Arnett. “We selected these songs with the hope they will mean as much to listeners as they have meant to us.”
The Singing Contractors teamed up with veteran producer Michael Sykes to create Hard Workin’ Man. Showcasing the harmonies that have garnered national TV appearances and avid fans, the singing sensations put their unique twist on country music classics such as “Back Home Again,” “Forever and Ever Amen” and other songs that inspired them to be the hard-working men and acclaimed talents they are today. Those signature renditions include a guest vocal from country music icon Merle Haggard on their rendition of “That’s the Way Love Goes.”
Filmed at the Gaither Music Studio and directed by Doug Stuckey, the DVD and TV special feature performances from The Singing Contractors and conversations with host/singer/songwriter Woody Wright about the history and inspiration behind Hard Workin’ Man. Gospel music legend Bill Gaither also makes a special appearance as he joins The Singing Contractors and Wright for a memorable rendition of “He Touched Me.”
The foundation of this unlikely powerhouse duo stems from a viral video of their poignant rendition of “How Great Thou Art” performed in an unfinished corner of a home remodel which led to over one million views in almost 24 hours and an appearance on the “Fox & Friends” morning show. Comprised of Indiana natives Aaron Gray and Josh Arnett, these two builders have continued to amass a following with their fun-loving personalities, compelling cover tunes, national TV specials, recordings and special appearances taking them from the set of “Good Morning America” to the hallowed halls of the Grand Ole Opry.
