## Resource

Carl Brister is reimagining Lionel Richie’s “Hello” with a lush, cinematic blend of soft rock, R&B, and orchestral textures, set to drop June 20, 2026—with a sneak peek starting June 1. Co-produced with guitarist Ricky Persaud, Jr., the track layers emotion and warmth, showcasing Brister’s signature storytelling. A multi-platinum artist with over 260K global streams and a Global LIT Award win, Brister also founded Music Village to use art for healing. Plus, his July 2026 short film honors military families, proving his mission: every story matters. Pre-save now—this is more than a cover, it’s a tribute.
