Multi-platinum group Zac Brown Band has released their seventh studio album, Love & Fear, highlighted by the stirring single “Butterfly” featuring the iconic Dolly Parton. Written by Brown as a message of resilience for his children, the track showcases a raw, harmonized performance that Brown describes as “pure magic.” The album, which also features a guest appearance by Marcus King and the standout track “Give It Away,” serves as a deeply personal and transformative exploration of Brown’s life journey. From themes of heartbreak and hardship to growth and redemption, the project reflects the constant evolution of the band’s storytelling, blending their signature country-rock sound with some of the most intimate lyrics of their career.
The release was celebrated through a historic residency at Sphere in Las Vegas, which concluded its initial run this month. The unprecedented show utilized Sphere’s next-generation technology, including the world’s highest-resolution LED display and Immersive Sound system, to create a fully 360-degree visual environment. Moving beyond a traditional concert format, the engagement offered fans a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the journey that shaped Brown as an artist and a person. By integrating high-tech visuals with the raw storytelling found on Love & Fear, Zac Brown Band has established a new benchmark for live performance, marking a powerful and innovative chapter in their two-decade legacy.
