Tim McGraw releases two new songs

New Single “Neon Church” and Track “Thought About You”

Grammy Award winning music superstar Tim McGraw has released two new tracks, the single, “Neon Church” and an additional track “Thought About You,” which are available to stream and download now. This marks his first new music for Columbia Nashville/McGraw Music. “Neon Church” has been shipped to radio for immediate airplay. McGraw has indicated both songs are part of an upcoming 2019 album project.

“I love that there are no rules anymore and I can give fans more music at once. I really felt that both these songs were ready to be heard and will absolutely give a sense of where I’m going with my next project. They’re meaningful to me and show the diversity of what I’ve been working on musically,” states McGraw who has most recently spent two years touring with his wife, Grammy Award winning artist, Faith Hill on the blockbuster Soul2Soul Tour in support of their first-ever album together, The Rest Of Our Life.

The lead radio single “Neon Church” was written by Ben Goldsmith, Ben Stennis and Ross Ellis. From the opening line of “I need Jesus or I need whiskey” listeners will immediately get a sense of a classic country music theme made relevant to 2018. “There’s not a misplaced word in Neon Church,” explains McGraw. The second track “Thought About You” was written by Lee Thomas Miller, Brad Warren and Brett Warren. The lyrics take the listener on an emotional journey about lost love and opportunity weaving McGraw’s signature vocals with a powerful message.

McGraw joined forces with long-time collaborator Byron Gallimore to produce both tracks. “Tim had such a vision for the sound and shape of this new music. ‘Neon Church’ is an anthem from the first note and is so unique sonically,” says Gallimore. Together as co-producers, McGraw and Gallimore have sold over 50 million records.

Last week, McGraw wiped his social media channels and tweeted the opening lyrics of “Neon Church,” “I need Jesus or I need whiskey,” teasing fans. Earlier this week, he shared a text with a phone number that has been keeping fans in the loop with teasers leading up to the single release.
