Curb Records recording artist Hannah Kerr unveiled the vulnerable standout, "If I Were You," now--listen here. The transparent track was penned by Kerr, Jonathan Gamble, and Matt Morrisey and produced by her brother, GRAMMY Award winner Josh Kerr (for KING + COUNTRY).
"It's taken me a long time to realize that God isn't going to ever give up on me. He's so patient with my brokenness and so loving even when I don't feel lovable. I'm SO grateful that He's the One in control and not me," shares Kerr of the message behind her new song. "I try so hard to hold onto control because I convince myself that control brings peace. But I know that's not true! It's so much better when we just let God have our worries, our wounds, and our fears. Hope this song resonates with you."
Accentuated by warm strings, the ballad finds Kerr pondering the undeniable power of Christ while underscoring her humanity as she wonders what it would be like if the roles were reversed between a loving Father and His imperfect child. An intimate vocal delivery, Kerr carries a spirit of gratitude as she confesses, "Thank God You're God and I'm not." The heartfelt selection arrives in advance of her sophomore studio set, coming late summer of 2024.
Further previewing her forthcoming album, the singer/songwriter previously dropped the testimony-driven track "Changed." Last week, she premiered an official music video for "Changed" that puts a stunning visual to the transformation that takes place when we put our faith in Jesus--watch the vibrant clip here.
Kerr will continue to give fans a glimpse into the new music she's been working on this spring as she once again joins friends and labelmates Big Daddy Weave on the road for the Heaven Changes Everything Tour. The 30-city outing kicked off in Jonesboro, Ark., and will run through the end of July.
