NASHVILLE (July 03, 2026) — Today, Gaither Music Group announces the release of acclaimed singer Gary LeVox’s new studio single, “Paradise.” Arriving on the eve of America’s 250th anniversary, the uplifting anthem, written by Rudy Perez and Chaz Bosarge and produced by Perez, delivers a timely message of unity, peace and hope.

Best known as the lead vocalist of Rascal Flatts, LeVox showcases the unmistakable voice that has defined his career while offering listeners a timely reminder of the strength found in coming together. Blending country and inspirational influences, “Paradise” points toward a vision of a better future built on compassion, faith and shared purpose.

The single’s artwork draws inspiration from the spirit of exploration embodied by the Artemis II mission. Reflecting the song’s themes of discovery, unity, and possibility, the imagery celebrates both the nation’s past and its future.

“Releasing this song as we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary felt especially meaningful,” said LeVox. “At our best, we’re a nation that comes together through hope, compassion, and faith. That’s the spirit I wanted ‘Paradise’ to capture.”

“Gary has always had a unique ability to connect with audiences through songs that speak to the heart,” said Paul Sizelove, President of Sun Label Group and Gaither Music Group. “‘Paradise’ is a powerful reminder of the values that bring people together—hope, faith, compassion and a shared belief in something greater than ourselves. Gary delivers that message with sincerity and conviction, and we’re honored to bring this song to audiences at such a meaningful moment for our nation.”

“Paradise” is now available on all digital streaming platforms; stream it here.

About Gary LeVox

Gary LeVox, along with bandmates Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney, founded Rascal Flatts in 2000, and they went on to enjoy one of the most successful careers in modern country music. Infusing the genre’s traditional sound with massive pop hooks, rock showmanship and faithful positivity, they scored 17 No. 1 singles and sold over 23 million albums, while also selling more than 11 million concert tickets and earning 40+ awards-show trophies – making them the most awarded country group of the last decade.

After 20 years as front man, Gary LeVox embarked on a solo chapter. His debut single “The Distance”, was one of five songs on LeVox’s debut solo collection ONE ON ONE, which includes multiple compelling collaborations. LeVox followed the release of ONE ON ONE with “We Got Fight,” a song featured as the coveted end credit in Netflix’s film The Ice Road.

LeVox released his first solo country single “Get Down Like That” in fall of 2022 which helped carve his own space in the country music market. “Get Down Like That” was written by country music songwriting heavy hitters Ashley Gorley, Jesse Frasure, Thomas Rhett, and HARDY which made it even more universally successful. To follow this single, LeVox embarked on his Get Down Like That Tour across America and played to sold out crowds to relive his Rascal Flatts hits and his new solo tunes.

To follow up his infectious Christian EP, ONE ON ONE, LeVox released another solo EP in 2024 titled LeVox Live that garnered immense praise across the internet after being premiered on The Song TV in January 2024 with his classic love song “Make It Rhyme” as the lead single off the work.

The reunion heard across the world in 2025 was the Rascal Flatts Life Is A Highway Tour and boy was it a sight to see. LeVox joined his bandmates across America again to celebrate 25 years of Flatts and rocked sold out stages to thousands of ecstatic fans for the first quarter of the year before gearing up to release more independent music.

May 2025 proved to be a memorable one for LeVox and the rest of the world when he enlisted GRAMMY-nominated R&B/Pop superstar Akon and Reggaeton singer De La Ghetto to hop on his brand new single “Hold The Umbrella”. The song not only blended musical genres together, but helped LeVox put his stamp on the Summer of 2025 and helped him take his first big step outside of the country music genre which was welcomed with overwhelming virality across the internet.

LeVox also plans to continue to hit the road touring throughout the rest of the year bringing his songs and legendary voice to the fans.
