Thomas Rhett’s Full Discography Now Available In Spatial Audio On Apple Music

Apple Music has made Thomas Rhett’s full career-spanning discography, including his recently released sixth studio album Where We Started, available to stream in Spatial Audio exclusively on the platform. Spatial Audio on Apple Music is a premium listening experience that makes songs feel as though they’re happening all around and above the listener.

“I listened to my first bit of music in Spatial [Audio], and all of a sudden, it’s like you’re listening to music in 3D. That’s the best way I know how to describe it,” Rhett told Apple Music Country host Kelleigh Bannen in a recent interview. “I mean, obviously, I think the new stuff is cool because I feel like every record we make is just so much more detailed and there’s so many parts that, if you’re not intently listening, you might miss something amazing that the bass player did or something amazing the piano player did, or a drum fill that the drummer did that kind of gets lost in the wash. But when I heard my catalog in Spatial [Audio], I was like, ‘Holy crap, these people can play music.’

“Every time you turn your head, it stays centered somehow,” he adds. “You can hear guitar solos blasting in your right ear, but you hear your vocals so clear in the left, but then the guitar’s in the top right hand corner and the bass is in the lower left hand corner, and then it completely flip-flops. It is like listening to music in 3D. That’s the best way I can describe it.”

In conjunction with the release of his new album, Rhett recently announced Where We Started Radio, a new weekly radio series airing on Apple Music Country. Each week, he will break down the making of Where We Started, pulling back the curtain on his own creative process and looking back on how a 20-year-old emerging songwriter with a new record deal became a chart-topping country artists. Guests include famed producer Dann Huff, fellow artists Riley Green and Parker McCollum, Rhett’s wife Lauren Akins, and his father, the celebrated songwriter Rhett Akins.

Where We Started Radio airs every Tuesday at 5 p.m. CT on Apple Music Country.
