“THEY DON’T KNOW ABOUT US”

out now

A powerful duet that brings together the seasoned vocals of Chad Brownlee, a critically-acclaimed and multiple award-winning Canadian country artist, and the dynamic talent of ANNIKA, an accomplished vocalist known for her soulful voice and musical charisma.

“They Don’t Know About Us” channels the essence of resilience and determination in the face of doubt, portraying a relationship that thrives despite the odds stacked against it. Chad and ANNIKA’s harmonies soar over the anthemic melody, creating a sonic landscape that is both powerful and empowering.

With its bold, confident, and fierce vibe, "They Don't Know About Us" is a testament to the indomitable spirit of love. It's a reminder that true love knows no boundaries and transcends societal norms. The kind of love that nothing can stand in its way.

ABOUT CHAD

Hailing from British Columbia, critically-acclaimed and multiple award-winning Canadian country artist Chad Brownlee’s love of the outdoors is very much reflected in the singer-songwriter’s chart-topping songs and infectious melodies. Boasting over 125 MILLION global streams and numerous gold and platinum-certified singles, he has topped the Canadian country Billboard charts multiple times and reached No.1 with his platinum-selling single, “Forever’s Gotta Start Somewhere.” Brownlee's signature sound blends elements of pop, country, and rock, drawing equal inspiration from 80s classics and modern pop country.

Having spent the last three years penning tracks for his upcoming album, Brownlee is excited to be releasing new music. With a collection of songs recorded and produced by award-winning producers, Todd Clark (Little Big Town, James Barker Band, Dierks Bentley) and Dave Thomson (Lady A, The Washboard Union, Lights, High Valley), Brownlee is poised to make an indelible mark on the Canadian music landscape.

A multi-talented individual, Brownlee not only shines in the world of music but he also holds the distinction of being a former Vancouver Canucks draft pick. He is a dedicated philanthropist and in 2021, he made his acting debut in the Canadian feature film "Range Roads."
