RACHEL PURCELL RELEASES FIRST CENTRICITY MUSIC EP MERCY & ME, AUG. 1Â EPâs Single, âHave Church,â Hits Radio Sept. 26

Muscle Shoals, AL native, songwriter and dynamic vocalist Rachel Purcell releases her first, six-song Centricity Music EP, Mercy & Me, today (Aug. 1). Available at digital and streaming outlets globally from https://rachelpurcell.lnk.to/MercyandMe, the EP features Purcellâs soulful pop debut, âShow Up,â the catchy, up-tempo âNew Nameâ and sunny singalong âHave Church,â 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 Purcellâs passionate journey of creating music inspired by her real life experiences that are deeply rooted in her unwavering faith.
âLooking back at how I dove into writing all these songs, I realized how the theme of salvation is found in every lyric. This EP is a reflection on the miracle of salvation and the final track, âMercy & Me,â captures the beautiful moment Christ opened my eyes and filled me with belief, awe and repentance,â says Purcell. âI pray that wherever you are on your journey, God gives you exactly what you need from these songs.â
âHave Churchâ 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 Heâs alive in us
(Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah, nah)
All around the world
We about to have church
