David Nail Releases FIGHTER With Performance on NBC’s TODAY Monday, July 18

PEOPLE Premieres Exclusive Fighter Story

Nashville, TN – MCA Nashville and GRAMMY-nominated recording artist David Nail released his fourth studio album, Fighter, yesterday, July 15. To celebrate the release of Fighter, David will perform his current Top 15 single “Night’s on Fire” on NBC’s TODAY Monday, July 18. Nail wrote or co-wrote seven of the 11 total songs for Fighter and teamed up with the same producer from his previous successful albums, Frank Liddell, for the project.

Fighter both as a song and album title represents a very personal journey for the Missouri native, “Fighter is about as honest as I’ve ever been. Every line will tell you a different story,” notes David.  Nail wrote the track as an ode to his wife Catherine given her “fight” through his depression diagnosis as well as struggle with infertility. People.com has exclusively premiered a video further exploring their journey to parenthood and the meaning behind the song which can be viewed HERE.

The video is part of a larger, special series allowing others to share their Fighter story alongside David and Catherine’s. The goal of the Fighter series is to inspire and amplify the message of success against seemingly unfair odds. Additional videos can be viewed HERE and fans can submit their own Fighter stories HERE.

Fighter is already garnering rave reviews including Sounds Like Nashville which claims, “There are few words that can be used to describe the talent of David Nail. When you hear him on a record – or better yet, see him live – you come away with a deep appreciation for his vocal talent. Simply put, one could make the argument that he’s not one of us. On a ballad, his vocals soar into the stratosphere, and on the up-tempo songs, he takes the ordinary lyric and arrangement, and transfers it into a tour de force.”
