Everything up until now has been rehearsal. That's the way Chris Rice thinks. Today is the important day, and everything in his life up until this point has been the preparation. This is obvious as he charges forward in his artistry with his new release "What A Heart Is Beating For." Following up on the radio success of "When Did You Fall" could have been intimidating. But instead, that success set the stage for these next steps Chris is taking as an artist. His music reflects the way he lives his life – laid-back optimism and building on new opportunities as they present themselves. For Chris, "What A Heart Is Beating For" is a logical step resulting from those opportunities, as well as a launching point for a host of new ones.
