The five-time Entertainer of the Year took to social media to share the news with fans this week after a few days of teasing them with hints surrounding the album cover, title, and tracks.
The album — which marks the Georgia-native’s first, full-length project in four years — will feature 14 tracks including his current single, “Love You, Miss You, Mean It.” Additionally, in celebration of the album announcement, Luke has released a second song from the tracklist. Fans can get another taste of what’s to come with Bryan’s new song, “Closing Time In California,” available now on all digital platforms.
"I've been able to take my time and really compile songs for this album," Luke said of the creative process behind the forthcoming album. "If it's a song that I cut two or three years ago, and I still love it, and it still sounds fresh, then I feel like it'll stand the test of time."
He continued, "I think this album, as I've tried to do with all my albums, just has a little bit of everything. I do some things different vocally on this one that I've not done before. It's about each song having its place and having its meaning. It's trying not to be overly redundant with songs. I think that's why I've been blessed to have a long career and what I feel like this album's going to do."
