Chapel Hart debuted their long-awaited full-length album, Glory Days, marking the “moment we’ve been working our BUTTS off for.” The trio of sisters and cousins hailing from Mississippi — Danica Hart, Trea Swindle and Devynn Hart — released the 11-track project on Friday (May 19).
In the week leading up to their album’s release, Chapel Hart has teased their social media followers with a star-studded series of reviews, adding to an already-lengthy list of artists to share their support of the trio’s music.
Prior to the release of Glory Days, Chapel Hart has long been embraced by the country music industry and listeners, particularly after delivering an unforgettable performance when they auditioned for America’s Got Talent last year. Chapel Hart earned a unanimous golden buzzer from all four judges and the host of the smash-hit competition show, sending them straight to the live shows. They auditioned with “You Can Have Him, Jolene,” an original song that puts a fresh twist on Dolly Parton’s iconic 1970s anthem.
Since then, Chapel Hart has garnered praise from legends like Tanya Tucker and Loretta Lynn, who requested that the girls put their own spin on one of her songs before she died peacefully in her sleep at her Tennessee ranch. She was 90. Chapel Hart has since released “Welcome To Fist City” in Lynn’s honor, inspired by her 1960s hit, “Fist City.” They’ve also gone on to release a soulful, gospel-inspired collaboration with Darius Rucker, a track that’s set to appear on Rucker’s forthcoming album.
Most recently, country and pop/rock artist Cassadee Pope, The Voice alums Todd Tilghman and Wendy Moten, and others have offered their early album reviews. On the day of its release, Vince Gill shared his thoughts on Glory Days.
“It was just really fun to hear those girls and see them shine with a brand new record,” the beloved singer-songwriter said, in part. “The thing I love so much about those girls is every time I hear them — hear them talk, hear them sing, see them on stage — they have fun. It’s so engaging. It’s so, so needed these days. It’s fun listening to the record. (There are) a bunch of great songs. As I listened, I smiled. The record made me think. The record made me laugh. The record made me proud. ...in listening to them and getting to know them, I’m grateful. I’m grateful that they wanna be a part of our country music world, and with open arms, I love having them a part of our family.”
