Morgan Wallen Announces Sophomore Double Album Set For January

/by

Morgan Wallen is having a big week this week, with his CMA win last night (Nov. 11) for New Artist of the Year and the news that he’ll release his brand new two-album sophomore project, Dangerous: The Double Album, on Jan. 8.

He announced the release on his socials last night. The 30-track album is nearly three years in the making, and features songs penned by an arsenal of writers ranging from Ashley Gorley, Shane McAnally, Hillary Lindsey, and Josh Osborne, to two of Wallen’s biggest musical inspirations, Eric Church and Jason Isbell, along with his closest musical confidants HARDY, ERNEST and Ryan Vojtesak (aka Charlie Handsome).

The vast double album holds both of Wallen’s current country singles, “More Than My Hometown” and “7 Summers,”as well as his acclaimed cover of Isbell’s “Cover Me Up,” the New Year’s surprise release “This Bar,” and the countrified album version of the triple Platinum Diplo collaboration, “Heartless.”

“As y’all may have heard, I announced a double album last night, and I couldn’t be more excited about it,” shared Wallen. “The ‘double album’ idea started off as just a joke between me and my manager because we had accumulated so many songs over the past couple of years. Then quarantine hit, and we realized it might actually be possible to have enough time to make it happen. I also ended up writing quite a few more songs during the quarantine with some of my good buddies. After a few months of production and fine tuning, I am so proud of what we came up with. I know 32 (eventual) songs sounds like a lot to digest, but I truly did my best to make sure there’s not a song that I would press ‘next’ on. I also wanted the songs to speak to multiple phases of life and have multiple different sounds based on my influences and based on what I enjoy. The three songs that we will put out next week will hopefully encapsulate a lot of the project for you and hold you off until January. Thank y’all!!”
