● When asked about the role God has played in his musical journey, LeVox said, “I feel like God
graced us with a platform where we can not only touch people’s lives through music, but by being men
of God offstage too,” explained LeVox. “At those times when we are with fans that are going through
something like cancer, it is so wonderful to not only sing for them but to hold their hand and pray with
them. I want them to know that they have a friend in me. I’m not just some guy on the stage. I feel like
Christ has put me in this position because He knew I could handle the obligation, which often means
taking the time to lift someone up in prayer.”
I have been a fan of Gary LeVox since the inception of Rascal Flatts. I was saddened when they announced their Farewell tour in 2020. I was excited to learn that the Band Members were ready to embark on Solo Careers.
ONE ON ONE is Gary LeVox debut Solo Album. It is a Contemporary Christian Genre, so he is changing Genres for this Album. I had the opportunity to listen to the Album and I LOVE IT!!
The First Single from the Album is a track titled "The Distance". It is a song about how a belief in God and following God will sustain you and bring you through the hurdles of life.
Another track that I really enjoyed was "All I See". The song is about how when we are not walking with the Lord and our focus is on worldly things, that our life can be so DARK and sad.
The entire Album has a STRONG message of Faith. I LOVE how Gary LeVox sings with such emotion that the message comes out loud and clear. He really pours his heart into his music and I was really touched by the message in this Album.
I HIGHLY Recommend this album!!
About the Artist
His name is synonymous with vocal power. … Literally, it means “The Voice,” and it only takes a few
notes to hear where he got it. But for Rascal Flatts’ Gary LeVox, there’s always been a different, higher
power at work.
Now with ONE ON ONE, a solo debut fusing two of his biggest passions – music and faith – that higher
power takes center stage. Arriving May 21 via Big Machine Records, LeVox’s new chapter kicks off with
five soul-mining anthems and the resilient single, “The Distance.” And according to him, the timing is
perfect.
“‘The Distance’ was the first song written for my solo chapter,” LeVox explains. “With the struggles and
battles so many have gone through this past year and how they’ve taken over people’s everyday lives, it
just felt like the true song of hope we need.”
As the front man and co-founder of Rascal Flatts – one of the most influential groups in Country history
– LeVox has embraced that hope all along. Since their founding in 2000, the group placed spirituality at
the center, cultivating a Country style that not only infused tradition with arena-sized pop hooks and
stadium showmanship, but also presented faith and fun as a core value.
Two decades of sentimental smash hits were the result, including 17 No. 1s, over 23 million albums sold,
35 million digital downloads, 2.2 billion streams worldwide and 4.4 billion streams on Pandora alone. All
told, Rascal Flatts sold over 11 million concert tickets and earned more than 40 honors from the ACA,
ACM, AMA, CMA, People’s Choice and more, making them the most awarded Country group of the past
decade.
But the group’s 2020 farewell found LeVox in a new position. With the trio just celebrating a sentimental
radio hit together – the reflective “How They Remember You” – he’s now embracing a new phase of his
musical journey. ONE ON ONE is an epic expression of the power of faith – one that’s much needed in a
pandemic-ravaged world. But these aren’t your typical Sunday-morning singalongs.
“The Distance” was a preview of things to come, wrapping LeVox’s explosive vocal in more energy and
purpose than ever. Existing on a different sonic plane from his Rascal Flatts roots, it arrived as a striking
mesh of forward momentum and eyes-to-the-sky hope, mixing electronic hooks with intense rock power
and spirit-lifting snap tracks. All throughout, LeVox pushed his voice to its stratospheric limits, opening a
direct connection between the heavens and Earth – and delivering a simple message for complicated
times.
“With this song, the message we wanted to share is that our hope is not lost – it’s found on the cross,”
he says. “And with God, we can go the distance. Don’t ever give up.”
Elsewhere, LeVox leaned on his “congregation” to explore that calling. Contemporary Christian
hitmakers MercyMe share in a smiling, open-hearted jam called “A Little Love.” GRAMMY winning
Gospel talent Jonathan McReynolds offers a testimony of gratitude for “Never Forget,” and LeVox’s
daughter Brittany joins the family business on “While I Wait,” a steadfast promise of spiritual
commitment. Then, with the reflective “All I See,” Country-rap firebrand BRELAND helps the superstar
keep his eyes on the ultimate prize.
Produced by Matt McVaney, the collection stands now as a modern blast of spiritual pop, created by
one of the most electrifying vocalists of his era. But it’s true energy comes from the ONE ON ONE
connection LeVox preaches. And that’s something he says the world needs now, more than ever.
"One On One is my passion project and I have wanted to do this body of work for as long as I can
remember,” explains LeVox. “I feel so honored to get to collaborate with such greatness throughout this
project. BRELAND is a dream to work and sing with, as is the iconic MercyMe. Jonathon McReynolds,
one of the greatest singers of our time and my dear friend, wrote a perfect song for us. And for my
daughter Brittany and I to get to sing a song that Tauren Wells help craft just completed the collection. I
couldn’t be prouder of this project, and the songs that we recorded. This is gonna be an amazing new
season and I just hope everybody enjoys it as much as we did making it.”
