Caillat is "Kinda Single" with Brice
The album will be out Sept. 26 release via Blue Jean Baby Records.
Co-written by Caillat, Brice and producers Eric Arjes and Jimmy Robbins, "Kinda Single" captures the push and pull of a love that refuses to fade.
"I've wanted to do a song with Lee for so many years. He has one of my favorite voices, with such unique inflections and heart in everything he sings," said Caillat. "Writing this together with him and the guys was so much fun. We even nicknamed ourselves 'zest and pep'; I'm the lemon zest, and he's the pepper. 'Kinda Single,' is about that space between moving on and holding on — when no matter how hard you try to close the door, part of you keeps drifting back. It's messy, honest and real because sometimes love doesn't fit neatly into all-or-nothing."
Lyrics include:
"I'd set anything on fire
To burn a path back to you
We keep makin me a liar
Yea I can't change the truth
The door that we ain't closin
Tends to let a bit a us back through
Guess I'm always kinda single
Long as you're kinda single too"
"This Time Around" features a mix of reimagined hits and new originals, with collaborations from Maren Morris, Jason Mraz, Hillary Scott, Amos Lee, Walker Hayes, Gavin DeGraw and Maddie & Tae.

CD reviews
Lee Brice's self-titled album is the kind we wish Zac Brown was still making. Granted, it doesn't include the faux reggae and jam band tendencies. It does, however, feature a bevy of heartfelt songs about the things that matter most in life. Best of all, its fine content is matched to high quality songs and performances.

The cover of "I Don't Dance" features a glam shot of Lee Brice standing in a spotlight, looking more like a pop artist than a country singer. Listeners who prefer their country on the gritty side might be scared off by the pretty cover shot. The music matches the image: pop influenced mainstream country music, in the vein of contemporaries Jake Owen and Kip Moore.

Lee Brice had a dream run of success with his debut, "Love Like Crazy" - the title track became the most-played song on country radio in 2010. While that set the South Carolina native up for a doozy of a sophomore slump, he sidesteps it with ease. Brice simply has too many weapons - a songwriter's ear, soulful voice and some very able co-writer friends (Rhett Atkins, Eric Church) to veer far off course.
A Woman Like You has already topped the country single charts. ...
