Walker Hayes’ New Album Set For December Release

September 11, 2017/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Walker Hayes has set a Dec. 8 release date for his album, boom. Hayes wrote or co-wrote every song on the 10-track album, which was produced by Shane McAnally.

“’boom!’ It’s my favorite word,” explains Hayes about the new album’s title. “It’s what I text my team every time another station adds ‘You Broke Up With Me’… It’s the first thing I say after I play a song from the album for anyone. So, it’s what we had to call the album. I’m just so excited to share another part of the story. BOOM!”

boom. features “You Broke Up With Me,” the project’s debut single, which has already racked up over 25 million streams and is Top 30 on the charts and climbing.

In anticipation of the new project, Hayes is releasing “Beautiful,” the first of four instant grat tracks, directly to the fans. The song lands on SiriusXM’s “The Highway” today. Hayes hits the road as part of Thomas Rhett’s Home Team Tour beginning Sept. 22 at Los Angeles’ Greek Theater.
