Kenny Chesney Shares Album Title, Cover Of Upcoming New Project
Kenny Chesney has revealed the title of his upcoming new album due out in March: Born. The leadoff track from the new project, “Take Her Home,” is already rising up the country charts.
“As for the title, well, we’re still not quite done deciding what’s going on here, but one thing’s for sure: Born is absolutely the title track,” says Chesney. “It’s got a lot of heart, a lot of soul – and it speaks the truth about living, life and what we’re all doing here. Banjo out front, a great big pocket that rocks back and forth, it feels great. But more importantly, it’s a lyric that throws out all the options, never tells you what to do and throws out the one existential truth no matter what you choose: ‘one thing’s for certain, we’ve all been living since the day we were born.’”
Chesney has been hard at work putting the finishing touches on the project, adding songs and distilling it down to just the right mix before taking it to his No Shoes Nation of fans.
“I’m just trying to find songs that continue the story of who we are…how we live, breathe, work, rock, kick back and sometimes get tangled up in feelings that are anything but simple. Normally, we wait until it’s all figured out, the T’s are crossed, the I’s are dotted. But everything about this record’s been different – from how much time we’ve spent, the different ways we recorded and wrote and found songs – so why not let the fans know as we’re finishing up? We make this music for them, so, here you go. It’s official: Born, March 29. Now to the final line-up, and maybe getting a couple more out there.”
