for KING & COUNTRY made June 5 a big day in more ways than one.
The multi-GRAMMY Award-winning duo released their new single "Miracle" on Thursday - the third preview track from their upcoming album The Most Beautiful Colours, due out this fall. The release landed on a meaningful date: the birthday of Joel Smallbone, who turned 41. The band confirmed on their official Facebook page: "Big day over here... Joel's birthday, new song, and second to last week of filming!"
"Miracle" is the third single from the forthcoming full-length album, continuing to build anticipation ahead of The Most Beautiful Colours Tour, which kicks off September 24 in Spokane and runs through October 18 in Boston, hitting cities including Vancouver, Seattle, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Diego, and Baltimore along the way.
Joel and Luke describe the new album as their "most hope-filled yet," saying: "It's our hope that you leave these shows with a deep sense of optimism and joy in the midst of all you may face in the world today."
The birthday and the new song weren't the only milestones wrapped into the day. The duo is also currently in the second-to-last week of filming on their upcoming movie Drummer Boy - a Christmas musical about two brothers who find themselves on opposite sides of the American Revolutionary War - set to arrive in theaters this November. Joel stars in the film and co-directed it alongside his brother Ben Smallwood.
Brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone have earned four GRAMMY Awards, 13 No. 1 hits, and more than 5 billion career streams - a legacy built on exactly the kind of hope "Miracle" is named for.
"Miracle" is available now on all major streaming platforms.
