American Idol winner and Platinum recording artist Taylor Hicks released his new single “Six Strings & Diamond Rings” today. The long-awaited single features an iconic collaboration with Grammy-nominated Robert Randolph and is the first from Hicks’ forthcoming album set to release in early 2018 and recorded in Nashville at Zac Brown’s iconic Southern Ground Nashville.
“They say an artist has to live and breathe the art they make. It also has to be relatable to the people that are listening and to the lives they lead on a daily basis. No matter what someone may be experiencing in life, I think music has the power to let us know that we are not alone in the emotions we’re feeling and the things we are going through. ‘Six Strings and Diamond Rings’ embodies this for me, and I hope listeners can take the same ideas away from this song,” Hicks says of his new single.
“Six Strings & Diamond Rings,” which premiered Wednesday on billboard.com, is a song about life on the road and the personal sacrifices it often takes to turn a dream into a reality.
