The music he's produced for Lee Brice is all over the radio! I'm so excited to be in the studio again recording a new album, and working with Kyle has been amazing. He has watched me perform for years, so it was great to have a front-row seat as an artist and see him in his element."
Jacobs on 'Feeling Tonight' song said, "This is such a fun song. I hope it's this year's summer anthem. It captures that summer love, that first love, that first kiss, that first spark of romance when you know there's something special happening. I think of Kyle when I sing this song and the love we share."
