NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 11, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Indie superstar with over one billion streams, Ben Rector, releases his highly anticipated album, The Joy of Music, available on all digital platforms today. The album features several notable collaborations including award winning rapper Snoop Dogg, GRAMMY Award-winner and legendary musician Dave Koz, iconic jazz musician Kenny G, Taylor Goldsmith from folk rock band Dawes, as well as the YouTube sensation One Voice Children's Choir.
Rector is known for releasing positivity-infused music that "encapsulates all the warm feelings" (People.com) and the upcoming "feel-good album" (E! Online) is no exception. The songwriter has plans to make 2022 his most successful year yet, with a short film and concert tour to accompany this album. Rector had a noteworthy last year amid the pandemic, with the release of the red hot tune "Range Rover," which featured industry icon Steve Winwood. The year also brought him a high profile appearance as an all-star mentor on the ABC hit show American Idol alongside Ryan Tedder, Jewel, Jason Aldean, Brian McKnight, and Joss Stone (among others). Rector spent the majority of his time during the pandemic working on The Joy Of Music and he believes it's his "best music yet."

Today, Cody Fry shares the video for "I Hear A Symphony," the song that went viral on TikTok earlier this year, subsequently inspiring Fry to record a live orchestral record titled, Symphony Sessions. Set for release on January 21, 2022, the whole album was recorded at Ocean Way Nashville Studio, a beautiful 100-year-old grey stone church, and arranged with a 60-piece orchestra.Fry also received his first GRAMMY nomination yesterday for Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals, for his cover of The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby," which is also taken from Symphony Sessions."With 'I Hear A Symphony' sitting now with nearly 65 million streams on Spotify, as well as every other song off of Flying ranging from 220,000-8,000,000 respectively, Fry's decision to stay true to himself has clearly paid off," said Atwood Magazine who interviewed Fry and debuted the "I Hear A Symphony" video. "What's interesting about 'I Hear A Symphony,' though, is its universal appeal. Rather than suiting a trend, a dance, or a behavior, as other viral songs have, it's used in a more general capacity. When looking at the videos tagged under the sound, there's no one way users interpret the song."
Indeed the success of "I Hear A Symphony" has earned Fry the luxury to choose his own creative path, and the result is Symphony Sessions. The six-song album includes fully arranged originals as well as covers of The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby,", which has amassed over 14 million streams in just a couple months since being shared on TikTok, and Ben Rector's "Sailboat," a song which served as a joint encore on Fry and Rector's recent tour."I've run the gamut of emotions, from confusion to thunderstruck excitement to the fear of how long will this last?" admits the Chicago-raised Fry. "This has totally changed my life. It's allowed me to say no to things I don't want to do and be able to pursue what I do."Although major record labels came calling following his viral success, Cody has decided to remain independent for the time being. "I didn't feel right about the offers," he says. "I wanted to see what I could do on my own now that I can support myself this way. Even though record companies can add tremendous value, it was too tantalizing for me to be able to make the music I wanted, without any outside interference."
