Fans can pre-order Love Will… via online retailers on April 2nd. All who pre-order on iTunes will immediately receive an instant download of “Watch The World End” featuring Colbie Caillat.

Each week through album release, fans can hear a new song at www.TraceAdkins.com. New this week, fans can stream “Watch The World End” featuring Colbie Caillat. The song speaks of the undying commitment between two people who wouldn’t be anywhere else, under any circumstances.

The Harlem Gospel Choir backs Trace on the title track, “Love Will” in the Gospel tradition of spreading love and inspiration. Exile joined Trace on a new version of one of the biggest radio hits of all time, “Kiss You All Over.” Adkins’ rich baritone is well-matched with the suggestive lyrics and supported note for note by these power players.

“What is love, if not a collaboration between unique individuals?” asks Trace. “Regardless of genre, I’m a fan of strong songwriting and vocal ability – I can’t say enough about what Colbie, the Harlem Gospel Choir and Exile brought to the table in their own way. It is an honor to have such talented performers, songwriters and producers join me on the most inspiring, satisfying album of my career.”
