SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 IS IN THEATRES DECEMBER 20, 2024
JELLY ROLL'S ACCLAIMED NEW BILLBOARD 200 #1 ALBUM BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN OUT NOW
Nashville, TN (November 22, 2024) – Award-winning multi-genre phenomenon Jelly Roll has released “Run It” today as the only original song for the third installment of the beloved franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Listen HERE via BBR Music Group/BMG/Republic Records.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3, from Paramount Pictures in association with Sega Sammy Group, opens in theaters everywhere on Friday December 20, 2024. Advance tickets on sale November 25, 2024.
Jelly Roll notably co-wrote “Run It” with a powerhouse cohort of collaborators, including three-time GRAMMY® Award winner and OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, two-time GRAMMY® Award winner and superstar artist and DJ David Guetta, and GRAMMY® Award-nominated songwriter Sean Cook. Tedder, Guetta, and Cook co-produced the track as well. The song marks Jelly Roll's first collaboration with Tedder and Guetta.
“Run It” showcases Jelly Roll's versatility once again, striking a balance between country, pop, hip-hop, and electronic. Anchored by breezy acoustic guitar and handclaps, the song climaxes on a bright dancefloor-ready bridge and sunny refrain, “We gonna run it, run it, run it till we running out of road!” It's an upbeat and undeniable anthem that's as energetic as Sonic himself.
Be on the lookout for the premiere of an official music video to accompany the track soon.
It continues what has become a tradition of high-octane bangers tailormade for the Sonic the Hedgehog universe. Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Yachty, and Sueco the Child teamed up for “Speed Me Up” in 2020 to accompany Sonic the Hedgehog, amassing 59 million-plus Spotify streams and counting. Meanwhile, Kid Cudi contributed “Stars In The Sky” to 2022's Sonic the Hedgehog 2, gathering over 31 million Spotify streams. As such, Jelly Roll finds himself in good company.
Jelly Roll's Billboard 200 #1 critically acclaimed sophomore country album, Beautifully Broken, is available now. Earlier this week, Jelly Roll delivered two monumental performances as a three-time nominee at the 2024 CMA Awards. Next up, he performs his sold out hometown headlining show at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday, November 26. Jelly Roll recently made his debut on the PBS series “Austin City Limits” as the show celebrates its 50th Anniversary Season. Watch his performance of “I Am Not Okay” HERE.

ABOUT JELLY ROLL:
Award-winning, GRAMMY® nominated Nashville native singer/songwriter Jelly Roll (Jason DeFord) bowed at #1 on the Billboard 200 All Genre Chart for the first time with his acclaimed 2024 album, Beautifully Broken—which also earned the highest critical praise of his career so far from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Associated Press, NPR, and more. The release concluded his most successful year yet and followed his sold out Beautifully Broken Tour in arenas nationwide.
Just a year earlier, Jelly debuted Top 3 on the Billboard 200 All Genre Chart and #2 on the Top Country Album charts with his debut Country Album, Whitsitt Chapel (released June 2nd, 2023) - earning the biggest Country debut album in Billboard Consumption Chart history. Following his sweep at the 2023 CMT Music Awards where he earned three awards to become the most awarded artist of the night, the Billboard Country Power List Cover star and “country's ‘most authentic’ new artist” (The New Yorker) received Billboard's 2023 Breakthrough Award and the People's Choice Award for Male Country Artist of the Year. Nominated for Best New Artist and Best Duo/Group Performance for “Save Me (with Lainey Wilson)” at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards, along with eight genre-spanning nominations at the 2024 iHeartRadio Awards and a win for Best New Country and Pop artist wins, Jelly is one of three artists alongside Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs to have scored three Country Airplay #1s in 2023 and the first to do it with his first three singles. He has earned five consecutive #1s to date at Country radio and is “one of Nashville's fastest rising stars” (The New York Times). A 4X winner at the 2023 People's Choice Country Awards and the most nominated male at the 2023 CMA Awards, with five total nominations capturing his first CMA Award for New Artist of the Year, Jelly continues to break boundaries. His #1 hit single “Save Me” — a confessional, vulnerable expression of self-doubt— set the stage for his new season of life and took him to new heights including a Platinum certification from the RIAA on the heels of his 28-week reign at No. 1 on Billboard's Emerging Artists chart. Most recently, “Save Me” earned Jelly his first ACM win for Music Event of the year, released his new album Beautifully Broken on October 11 and launched his Beautifully Broken Tour on August 27th following his seven consecutive #1 singles: “I Am Not Okay,” “Chevrolet” - Dustin Lynch feat. Jelly Roll, “Halfway To Hell,” “Save Me,” “Need A Favor,” “Son of A Sinner” & “Dead Man Walking.”
Not just an artist but a humanitarian, Jelly continues to resonate with fans on a global scale while racking up numerous milestones - from playing his sold-out hometown show for 18,000 fans at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena to donating a recording studio at the juvenile detention center he served in as a teen, to the release of his record-breaking documentary by ABC News, “Save Me” - the most watched music documentary on the platform - to his visits with rehab centers and those incarcerated across the US. Featured by Nightline, GMA, GMA3, The New York Times, LA Times, The Tennessean, Billboard, Variety, American Songwriter, CMT and more, his self-built, unconventional industry rise and unique fan connection has garnered praise from numerous outlets, with Variety noting, “for everyone who's facing the same struggles, Jelly Roll is their Springsteen,” and American Songwriter echoing, “with a string of accolades and an extremely dedicated following, Jelly Roll has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.”
