RACHEL PURCELL RELEASES DEBUT CENTRICITY MUSIC RADIO SINGLE, âSHOW UPâ
Country Star Returns to Christian Music Roots With Hopeful, Energetic Tune
Muscle Shoals, AL native, songwriter and dynamic vocalist Rachel Purcell releases her debut Centricity Music radio single, âShow Up,â which is available now at streaming and digital outlets worldwide today (Jan. 10) via https://rachelpurcell.lnk.to/ShowUp. Mirroring Purcellâs personality with an upbeat melody and optimistic lyrics, âShow Upâ grasps fans with the relatable yearning for God to make Himself known in the midst of the ordinary. This song serves as the first big step in Purcellâs move to Christian music after years of critically-acclaimed success in the country genre under maiden name Rachel Wammack.
Purcell, a lifelong Christian music fan who grew up singing in church, co-wrote âShow Upâ with Trannie Anderson (Lainey Wilson, Anne Wilson) and the songâs producer, Jeff Pardo (Matthew West, Katy Nichole). The soulful pop selection showcases a vibrant retro flavor reminiscent of the sounds that originated in Muscle Shoals.
âGod has shown up for me in times when I had no idea what to do or how to pick myself up or even when I didnât want to get out of bed,â shares Purcell. âSometimes you write something you think youâre writing for other people, only to later realize you needed it. I feel like I wrote this song for âfuture meâ as much as I wrote it for âpresent me.â Iâm praying this song will be helpful for a lot of people, meeting them where theyâre at, like it met me.â
(âShow Upâ chorus)
Show up and fill my cup from empty to overflowing
Show up and give me what Iâm needing in this moment
If thereâs a mountain, thereâs a mountain gonna move
If thereâs a fire, thereâs a fire that youâll walk me through
Every promise that you promise is true
Canât wait to see what youâre gonna do
When you show up, show up
Purcell signed an exclusive, worldwide recording and publishing contract with Centricity Music last year following a season of major label success that included collaborations with Blessing Offor, Reba McEntire, Rascal Flatts and Trisha Yearwood. She releases âShow Upâ as the first of several new songs of praise that align with her most authentic self, promising additional tracks in 2025 that similarly showcase her unwavering faith.
