for KING & COUNTRY Snags Double Win at Grammys
Australian duo for KING & COUNTRY won both of their categories at last night's 2020 GRAMMY® Awards. The brothers took home the GRAMMY® for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance / Song from a collaboration with country music legend Dolly Parton on the heart-wrenching song "God Only Knows."
Addressing the hit track “God Only Knows,” Joel Smallbone remarked, “When we stepped in to write this song, we were each walking through something difficult personally. In reflection, I thank God for those difficulties. This song speaks to the depressed, marginalized and suicidal. To partner with Dolly Parton, who is an incredible human, is one of the great honors of our career. It is very special to have her lend her voice and heart to this song.”
They also won for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for their full-length album burn the ships. With these two wins, for KING & COUNTRY now have a total of four GRAMMY® awards.
Luke Smallbone added this about the award winning album burn the ships, “This honor goes out to those that need a new beginning, a fresh start, and a new dawn. To us, this award represents redemption for our family. If you’re wondering if your story can be used for good, it can be.”
