Randy Travis' “Horses in Heaven” is a Timely Reminder of God's Love and Mercy

Country music veteran Randy Travis has released a new single, "Horses in Heaven." The ballad, written by Jon Randall and Matt Nolen, was created with the help of vocal AI.
Travis unveiled the track alongside a lyric video that showcases archival footage of him riding horses. The clip opens with the singer describing how the animals have been "therapeutic" for him since he was a small child (Travis' late father, Harold Traywick, was a renowned horse trainer in North Carolina).
The song comes on the heels of the horrific plane crash in Washington, D.C..Travis writes, "Last night, many souls were lost in the horrific plane crash in Washington, D.C. and this morning, we lost a dear member of our country music and Warner Music family, publishing giant Ben Vaughn. My prayers are with all of the people affected by these losses, including members of our team."
He added that "Horses in Heaven" "feels like a timely reminder of God's love and mercy."
"I hope it brings some comfort to those of us hurting through these tragedies," Travis said. "We have decided to continue with this release and promotion of it, but felt remiss to not share what's on my heart right now... God Bless Ben, the victims of last night's crash and all who are feeling the heaviness of this moment."
"Horses in Heaven" was recorded with the help of AI. The production team used the voice of country singer James Dupré to help build the vocals. Dupré had worked with Travis's longtime producer Kyle Lehning around 2011 to record a demo of the song, although that version was never released. Lehning gave it a second life more than a decade later, using Dupré's original vocal as the canvas over which to lay Travis's AI-generated voice clone.
