Thomas Rhett has dropped his latest single, “Beautiful As You”, the first music off his upcoming seventh studio album set for release on August 23rd.
Rhett, 34, and wife and Lauren, 34, are parents to daughters Willa Gray, 8½, Ada James, 6½, Lennon Love, 4, and Lillie Carolina, 2½. Shared Rhett (per Taste of Country): “I feel like in the last four or five years, ‘drowning’ is not the word. For the first time in eight years I feel like Lauren and I — like our kids are doing things for themselves. They’re waking up for school, they’re bathing alone … I feel like Lauren and I are in this freedom phase of life… a different phase of life than we have been for a while. Now it’s a little easier to go on date nights, do stuff with friends, stay up a little bit later – I don’t know, maybe even sleep in a little bit! So much of my music is a reflection of the stage of life we are in – we’re in a very joyful season – and this song is just the tip of the iceberg to the rest of this next album.”
Rhett adds in a statement: “This is an anthem for everybody who feels like they out-kicked their coverage. There was one day a couple years back when I was looking at my wife, and I was like, ‘Why in the world did you choose me?’ I get to be with someone who could easily be on the cover of a magazine, and I get to see her in all her forms — a partner, a mother, a friend, even a philanthropist. I just feel like I’ve got a first row seat at almost-perfection, if you will. And like the song says, ‘Seriously, what is somebody as amazing as you doing with somebody like me?’”
