IN THE
NEWS:
Singer/songwriter CHRIS RICE has hit the “mainstream” with his latest single “When Did You Fall (In Love With Me)” which is at No. 18 on Billboard’s April 1st. “Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks” chart. Rice’s first AC hit also remains in the Top 10 on the Friday Morning Quarterback’s AC chart this week. “Realizing that someone is in love with you is a surprising twist in life, and it made a fun topic for this song,” Rice commented about the hit tune. “It was important to me musically to capture the old romantic comedy feeling with a little jazz and crooner influence in the chords and melody - it’s a feel-good
song that makes me laugh,” he added. <><
