Thomas Rhett Slates New Album, ‘About A Woman,’ For August

/by

Thomas Rhett will release his seventh studio album, About A Woman, on Aug. 23 via The Valory Music Co.

The project finds the multi-Platinum hitmaker leaning in to what he does best while still aiming for creative evolution. He co-wrote 13 of the 14 tracks, and tapped longtime collaborators Dann Huff and Julian Bunetta for most of the production. The tracks on About A Woman are described as up-tempo, country foundations with layers of ’80s-inspired sounds and thumping beats.

“From top to bottom, I wanted to exude joy and fun with this project—and really just make people move,” Rhett says. “I went into making this record with a fearless attitude, put my blinders on and my head down to try and make really fun music.”

About A Woman also features Rhett’s commitment to his muse. Now enjoying a life chapter that allows he and wife Lauren a little more time for romance, the family man shines with renewed excitement.

“I feel like if you were to ask me what this record is about, the answer would be it’s about one woman, my wife, and it gave me an opportunity to say ‘I love you’ in a lot of different ways,” he says.

Rhett has already released the album’s lead single, “Beautiful As You.” Additional tracks include the lighthearted “Fool,” chill “Overdrive” and smooth “After All The Bars Are Closed.” Rhett builds on the story laid out in classics like “Fishin’ In The Dark”—both melodically and lyrically—on “Back To Blue.” He interpolates Whitney Houston‘s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)” on a sing-along heartbreak tune “Don’t Wanna Dance.”

Beginning today (June 5), fans can pre-order the album ahead of its next track release, “Gone Country,” this Friday (June 7).
