Even though the duo is known for creating encouraging music, &#8216;Unsung Hero&#8217; is the most personal track yet. And wait until you see the accompanying visuals featuring Joel and Luke and their parents to whom the song is tributed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">for KING &amp; COUNTRY gives us a taste of what the 13-track long project will entail: &#8220;What&#8217;s been particularly beautiful about this album is that we were able to be home with our families while making it,&#8221; share Luke and Joel Smallbone. &#8220;We cannot wait to now take more new songs on the road, to see you out there and make new memories with you all!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the duo&#8217;s extremely successful carer that includes winning four GRAMMYs, for KING &amp; COUNTRY mostly prides itself on the ability to bring people closer &#8216;TOGETHER&#8217;, like a previous single about the strength of unity in the face of diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is more where that came from, don&#8217;t forget, March 11th!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block;
