Rachel Purcell shares 'Mercy & Me'

Press Release

Muscle Shoals, Alabama, native, songwriter and dynamic vocalist Rachel Purcell releases her first, six-song Centricity Music EP, “Mercy & Me,” today. Available at digital and streaming outlets globally from https://rachelpurcell.lnk.to/MercyandMe, the EP features Purcell’s soulful pop debut, “Show Up,” the catchy, up-tempo “New Name,” and sunny singalong “Have Church” – which is going for adds at Christian radio Sept. 26.

With songs produced by Jeff Pardo (TobyMac, Katy Nichole), Andy Skib (Kenny Chesney, Brett Eldredge), Colby Wedgeworth (Jordan Feliz, Jeremy Camp) and Chuck Butler (Tauren Wells, India Arie), “Mercy & Me” captures Purcell’s passionate journey of creating music inspired by her real-life experiences that are deeply rooted in her unwavering faith.

“Looking back at how I dove into writing all these songs, I realized how the theme of salvation is found in every lyric,” Purcell said. “This EP is a reflection on the miracle of salvation, and the final track, ‘Mercy & Me,’ captures the beautiful moment Christ opened my eyes and filled me with belief, awe and repentance. I pray that, wherever you are on your journey, God gives you exactly what you need from these songs.”

“Have Church” chorus: “We about to have church // Raise a hallelujah // Tell the good news // Wherever we are is a front row pew // (Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah, nah) // All around the world // We about to have church // Give Him all the glory // Praise it on up // Wherever we are He’s alive in us // (Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah, nah) // All around the world // We about to have church.”
