Shelby Lynne To Explore ‘Consequences Of The Crown’ On Comeback Album

/by

Shelby Lynne will release her new album, Consequences Of The Crown, on Aug. 16 via Monument Records. She shared the project’s track “Butterfly” today (June 21.)

Produced by Lynne, Karen Fairchild, Ashley Monroe and Gena Johnson, Consequences Of The Crown is her first new album since returning to Nashville after 25 years away. Lynne explores the complexities of humanity across the 12 genre-blending tracks, as she chronicles experiences of heartbreak and loss as well as the growth that comes with both. The album also features contributions from Waylon Payne, Jedd Hughes, Angaleena Presley, Carter Faith, Meg McRee and Ben Chapman.

“I am going where it feels right to take a step,” says Lynne. “Breathing. Feeling the power of this music I lived for a time, another chapter in my life. I am grateful to be alive. I am grateful to you for listening to my life. This is the moment. We all wear a crown of consequences.”

The collection includes previously-released tracks “Over and Over” and “But I Ain’t,” which serves as a bridge between her past and present work, interpolating “Dreamsome,” a song from her album, I Am Shelby Lynne, which just celebrated its 25th anniversary. In honor of the I Am Shelby Lynne anniversary, a special reissue of the album was released last month via Monument Records.
