The final album, Soul, is set for release on April 23. It includes Church’s current single, Hell of a View as well as Jenny and Bad Mother Trucker. This release contains nine songs in total.

The album was written in January 2020, when Church turned an old restaurant in the mountains of North Carolina into a recording studio, and set a challenge of writing and recording one new song every day for 28 straight days. Church admits, there were days he didn’t sleep, unable to unwind when he found the creativity he was searching for.

Church said in a statement, "I’ve always been intrigued when a song is born in a writer room - there is a magic that happens there. I wanted to put that in the studio form. So, every day, we would write a song in the morning and we would record the song that night. Doing it that way allowed for the songwriters to get involved in the studio process and the musicians to be involved in the creative process. You felt a little bit like you were secretly doing something that was special, and you knew it…. You started going, 'Hmm, wait ’til the world finds out about this.'"

Church Choir pre-orders for Heart & Soul will begin on January 28, with access to white vinyl versions of all three albums available exclusively to fan club members. General public pre-orders will begin on January 29.
