Jason Aldean Shares Details On Upcoming Project ‘9’

Jason Aldean has revealed some details on his upcoming new album 9 on Macon Music and Broken Bow Records, which is set for release Nov. 22.

He offers up a whopping 16 tracks on the album, which is packed with the kind of blistering stadium anthems and cross-pollinated convention busters his audience has come to know and love. Among the writers contributing songs to the album are Rhett Akins, Michael Tyler, Neil Thrasher, Josh Hoge, Brantley Gilbert, Ben Hayslip, and Jaron Boyer.

Available now for pre-order, fans have access today to another new track “Dirt We Were Raised On,” along with the four previously-released songs off the upcoming album including its lead single “We Back.”

“People buy albums with eight songs for 10 bucks now, but with 9 it’s like you’re getting two whole albums at once,” Aldean said. “I want fans to feel like they’re getting more than they bargained for and I want it to be something they listen to from top to bottom, and never hit skip…or thumbs down or whatever.”

Aldean taps the spirit of the classic country drinking song on tunes like “Came Here to Drink,” “I Don’t Drink Anymore,” “Tattoos and Tequila,” and “Blame It on You.” Steamy R&B standouts like “Got What I Got” build off the heat of previous hits like “You Make It Easy,” while the electro-Country ballad “Cowboy Killer” joins arm in arm with the brotherhood-building “The Same Way,” a chest-thumping reach across demographic divides ready to rock stadiums across the nation. The project also includes a few hard-working heartland anthems that have always been at the core of Aldean’s story like “Camouflage Hat,” “Keeping It Small Town,” “Dirt We Were Raised On” and “Talk About Georgia,” which shows the deep well of pride Aldean still holds for his Macon roots.
