Judging from the hashtags Groban shared on Instagram, we can assume the new song is called "99 Years" and will be featured on his upcoming album Bridges due out on September 21. The lyrics we can hear from the clip, "Nothing unspoken / live everyday hoping / that where we feel broken our scars make us golden / It's still truth / You and I," give the two masterful vocalists plenty to emote.
Groban's upcoming new album is currently available for presale as he's gearing up for its release and a tour starting in mid-October. Nettles is already on the road with Kristian Bush as Sugarland supporting their June 2018 album Bigger on the Still the Same Tour. Nettles definitely knows how to work with other artists. "Babe," one of their many hits off of the album, is a collaboration with Taylor Swift that made country music news headlines.
