Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Eric Paslay has announced that he will release a new EP on Friday, July 3rd, HEARTBEAT HIGHER.
The EP will include the previously released title-track as well as three additional songs. Among them, âOn This Side of Heaven,â written by Eric, Jordan Reynolds and Jordan Minton, which will drop for fans ahead of the EP on June 5th following a world exclusive first play from Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2 this evening (4/6).
âThe outpouring of love, support and excitement with âHeartbeat Higherâ was so amazing that Iâm super pumped to drop the EP!â said Eric. âI think Iâve got the fans covered with four songs in every direction. Iâve got one for my âBarefootâ crew, my âShe Donât Love Youâ fans and something new for me… a cover!â
The video for HEARTBEAT HIGHERâs title track, written by Eric, Zach Crowell and Sarah Buxton, and also featuring Sarah, was released earlier this month and the video exclusively premiered on People.com. The video was directed by Timothy Hiele and was filmed during the recording process and in Stockholm, Sweden during Ericâs headlining âNice Guy Tourâ late last year, which also stopped in the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway and Germany, as well as main stage festival dates across Australia.
