Michael Ray’s debut self-titled album is set for release Friday (August 7).

Atlantic Records/Warner Music Nashville is offering a bundled package for the newcomer, including an autographed poster, digital and physical album and six instant downloads.

Ray’s debut single, “Kiss Me In The Morning,” hit No. 1 on the MusicRow CountryBreakout Chart July 16, and just cracked the top five on other charts. The video for the song can be viewed here.

“I can’t wait for everyone to finally be able to listen to what we have worked so hard on for so long in the studio,” said Ray.
