“Love Shouldn’t Cost A Thing” Unites Music and Message Across Ten Powerful Tracks
Webster, MA – Acclaimed independent artist Jerard Rice will release his powerful new album, Love Shouldn’t Cost A Thing, on July 11. The ten-track collection explores themes of love, identity, self-worth, and purpose. Inspired by his personal journey from 2018 to the present, Rice weaves reflections on sacrifice, societal pressures, and the resilience of self-belief into a sound that’s both deeply personal and universally resonant.
More than an artist, Rice is a voice for change. Diagnosed with autism at 16, he has transformed adversity into artistry, crafting music that not only entertains but inspires. With a signature blend of hip-hop, pop, blues, and world music, his latest album invites listeners to reflect on how we love ourselves and one another—an urgent message in a divided world.
“Music has always been my catalyst—not just for expression, but for unity,” says Rice. “Love Shouldn’t Cost A Thing is about reclaiming our worth, embracing our differences, and understanding that the journey to love starts within.”
The album features the standout single “No Brady” featuring JMuzique, along with other introspective and high-energy tracks that reflect Rice’s belief in the power of resilience, fellowship, and hard work.
