Brett Kissel To Release Four-Part ‘The Compass Project’

January 10, 2023/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Brett Kissel is releasing a four-part album series, The Compass Project, beginning with the South Album, on Jan. 27.

Featuring 11 songs, the South Album includes Kissel’s new single, “Never Have I Ever,” along with fan-favorite track “Ain’t The Same,” featuring pop group 98°, and other recent releases such as “Watch It” and “Our Home.”

“The Compass Project is without question the most ambitious project I’ve ever undertaken,” Kissel explains. “It’s also the one I’m most excited about, being that the complete project includes four full-length albums. At this point in my life and career, I want to tap into all of the different quadrants that represent and guide me as a person, husband, father, artist, and entertainer. Those themes resonate in the distinct direction I take on each album!”

Each album part describes a different part of Kissel’s personality and sound. Before each album is released, feature tracks will drop to give listeners a taste of what to expect from each one.

East Album will offer a spotlight on Kissel’s acoustic, laidback side and is set to release in the early spring. The West Album, which brings in southern twang and classic country, will be released in mid-summer. Rounding out the project in a fall release will be the North Album, containing many of Kissel’s hits performed live.

South Track List:
“Never Have I Ever” – Brett Kissel, Thomas “Tawgs” Salter, Elizabeth Lowell-Boland, and Ron Lopata
“Watch It” – Matt Rogers and Blake Bollinger
“Ain’t The Same” (featuring 98°) – Brett Kissel, Karen Kosowski, and Tim Nichols
“Our Home” – Brett Kissel
“Starts And Ends With You” – Brett Kissel, Emma-Lee, and Karen Kosowski

“That’s Just You” – Brett Kissel and Dave Thomson
“Standing In The Dark” – Steve Fox, Mark Smith, and Sean Smith
“Line In The Sand” – Brett Kissel
