Thomas Rhett Teams Up With Katy Perry, Tyler Hubbard, More On Upcoming Project

January 14, 2022/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Thomas Rhett has revealed details on Where We Started, his upcoming sixth studio album, available on April 1 via The Valory Music Co.

Inspired by his return to the road following the pandemic,  the album features 15 tracks packed full of his infusion of traditional country and dynamic, romantic energy. Produced by Dann Huff, Jesse Frasure and Matt Dragstrem, the project enlists superstar Katy Perry for the dramatic root-pop title track, along with collaborations with Riley Green, Tyler Hubbard and Russell Dickerson.

Rhett co-wrote 14 of the 15 tracks on the album, and other co-writers on the project include Lori McKenna, Ashley Gorley, Josh Thompson, Rhett Akins, and more.

“For me, getting into the entertainer headspace and back onstage was euphoria,” Rhett shares. “When you go a year and a half without it, then feel it for the first time again, it’s the coolest thing in the world. That’s really where my brain has been and where these songs came from—they’re some of my favorite songs that I’ve ever been a part of. I’m just enjoying life so much right now, getting to be a dad, collaborating with incredible artists, playing shows with my friends, and watching people smile from the stage. It has really filled my soul.”

Fans who pre-order the album will instantly receive two new tracks, ballad “Angels” and the foot-tapping “Church Boots.”
