🎶 FYC: Jerard Rice – Love Shouldn't Cost A Thing
🕊️ 68th GRAMMY Awards Nomination Ballot
🎧 Contemporary R&B Album Category

In a world overflowing with noise, Jerard Rice delivers clarity. Love Shouldn't Cost A Thing is a genre-blending triumph—fusing R&B, hip-hop, pop, and blues into a 10-track journey that’s as emotionally raw as it is sonically rich. From the infectious bounce of “Starz” to the introspective depth of “New Jack,” Rice invites us into a space where vulnerability is power and authenticity reigns supreme.

This album isn’t just music—it’s a movement. Crafted by a neurodivergent artist and activist, it speaks to love, loss, and redemption with fearless honesty. It’s the kind of record that doesn’t just play—it resonates.
