“He’s Everything”, the first single from Joyful Noise, has just been released on iTunes and is available now for download for just $1.29. The song features Dolly singing with the film’s cast including Queen Latifah, Keke Palmer, Jeremy Jordan, Andy Karl, and Dequina Moore. Mervyn Warren, the music producer for Joyful Noise, said on his Facebook page this week that the likely release date for the film’s soundtrack will be January 10th with two or three singles to be released before the film’s debut on January 13th.

Dolly will be performing the song with Queen Latifah tomorrow at the How Sweet the Sound gospel competition in Los Angeles. The show starts at 7:30 PM. Tickets are still available from TicketMaster.

The trailer for Joyful Noise, Dolly’s upcoming movie with Queen Latifah, hit the web in the last week and features plenty of fun moments between Dolly and Latifah to get fans excited for the film’s release in January. Joyful Noise also stars Jeremy Jordan as Dolly’s grandson Randy Garrity, Kris Kristofferson as Dolly’s husband Bernard Sparrow, and Keke Palmer as Latifah’s daughter Olivia Hill.

Dolly makes the cover of this week’s issue of Country Weekly magazine with an exclusive interview as she talks about her new Better Day album, “her successful career and her sense of serenity”. “I don’t remember ever doing anything that I don’t think was the right thing to do at the time,” Dolly says in the interview. “So, no, I have no regrets. If you live with regrets, you never get anything done.” Dolly also reveals more details on her upcoming movie Joyful Noise with Queen Latifah. The issue is out on newsstands now.

Dolly will be performing at the Grand Ole Opry this fall, just two weeks before kicking off the second U.S. leg of her highly praised Better Day World Tour. Dolly is scheduled to perform at the Saturday, September 24th show at 7:00 PM. Other performers for that evening have yet to be announced. A limited number of tickets are still available from the Grand Ole Opry website and Ticket Network.
