Fresh off a two-week No. 1, Chase Rice shares the first taste of his new era of music with the breezy, conscientious mid-tempo “If I Were Rock & Roll.” Stepping to an even more mature space than exhibited in The Album, Rice takes his music to the next level with the help of Jay Joyce, who famously produces Rice’s fellow North Carolinian, Eric Church. Pairing some of Joyce’s signature stylings with Chase’s self-reflective lyrics and songwriting talents results in a new, more refined Rice.
