Drake White Builds ‘The Bridge’ To New Era On Latest EP

Drake White is set to release a new EP, The Bridge, on Oct. 6.

The seven-song collection of songs of inspiration, love and purpose is the follow-up to White’s full-length 2022 album The Optimystic, which shares the story of his journey to recovery from an on-stage stroke in 2019. The Bridge marks a new era for White as he re-discovers himself and his purpose in life, and is blended with new songs and alternative versions of The Optimystic fan-favorites.

“The Webster dictionary defines a bridge as a structure carrying a pathway or roadway over a depression or obstacle,” says White. “This is the bridge taking me to back to why I started making music in the first place.”

With two of the songs released earlier this summer, the remaining tracks consist of a duet between White and Colbie Caillat on a special rendition of “Power of a Woman,” a raw, rough-cut track of “50 Years Too Late,” a co-write collaboration with Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd, and more.

Starting Oct. 20 in Fort Worth, White will embark on his co-headlining “Blow Up Your TV Tour” with Texas artist William Clark Green. The run will feature 15 dates spread out across the Western half of the U.S.

The Bridge Track List:
1. “50 Years Too Late (Ruff Cut)” (Leith Loftin, Drake White) ^
2. “Spirit” (Drake White, Phil Pence, Leslie Satcher) +
3. “Power of a Woman (ft. Colbie Caillat)” (Kelli Johnson, Lindsey Hinkle, Drake White) ^
4. “Makin’ Me Look Good Again (Wedding Version)” (Drake White, Monty Criswell, Shane Minor) ^
