<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ahead of the last episode, <strong>CMT</strong> will reveal an exclusive first look at the video across <strong>CMT, CMT Music, <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/kp93vec/k90670/4cpfscm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CMT.com</a>, </strong>and the <strong><a title="Paramount" href="https://www.paramountplus.com/">Paramount</a> Times Square Billboard</strong> <strong>in New York City</strong>.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Enlisting Etheridge for a dark-and-stormy power ballad, Adkins tributes a heart’s capacity to overcome in “Love Walks Through The Rain” – whether it’s a force of nature or a man-made disaster. With Etheridge’s electrifying vocal hitting like a lightning bolt, and Adkins’ rumbling baritone following like a distant clap of thunder, the pair team up for a one-two punch of rootsy romantic toughness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Likewise, the track’s moody video produced and directed by Mike Stryker and Andrew Rozario captures that power on film. While a storm rages outside, a distraught couple in a darkened house battle their own emotional elements, nearly succumbing to the pain of a fight. But with Adkins and Etheridge narrating, they soon find shelter from the wind and rain of turmoil, ready to carry on once more.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I am honored that the great Melissa Etheridge, one of the most recognizable voices in any genre of music, agreed to perform this song with me,&#8221; Adkins explains. &#8220;Many thanks to my friends at CMT for the continued support throughout the years and debuting the video for &#8216;Love Walks Through The Rain&#8217; in Times Square!&#8221; ; ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“When Trace asked me to join him on his 25th anniversary album, I knew I had to say yes,&#8221; says Etheridge. &#8220;‘Love Walks Through The Rain’ was a really awesome project both to film and record and I can’t wait for everyone to see the finished product.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The song is part of Adkins widely praised <em><strong>THE WAY I WANNA GO</strong></em> album (Verge Records) that <em>Billboard</em> applauded as a “creative tour de force” and celebrated the 25th anniversary of his breakout debut <em><strong>DREAMIN’ OUT LOUD</strong></em>. Mixing pure-Country reverence with his bold charisma, the 25-track project also features standout collaborations with <strong><a title="Blake Shelton" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSBlakeS/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fblake-shelton-tickets%2F">Blake Shelton</a>, <a title="Luke Bryan" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSLukeBryan/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fluke-bryan-tickets%2F">Luke Bryan</a>, Pitbull, Snoop Dogg, Stevie Wonder </strong>on harmonica and more.</p>
