Fancy Hagood Shares ‘Losing Game’ From Upcoming Sophomore Album
Fancy Hagood is gearing up for the release of his sophomore album, American Spirit, on Oct. 25. In conjunction with the album announcement, he’s sharing his latest single, “Losing Game,” a country love song about the rush of jumping headfirst into romance with someone you know isn’t quite right.
American Spirit aims to be a testament to Hagood’s journey towards resilience, healing and growth. The project features guest vocals from Michelle Branch and Sean and Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek as well as songs produced by John Osborne, Jarrad K, and Jeremy Lutitio and co-written with Caitlyn Smith, Mindy Smith, Sean McConnell, Mary Steenburgen and more.
The tracks run through the complex emotions of being alive, from grief for loved ones lost on single “Good Grief,” to remembering that pain is a human experience that can’t be avoided on “Through.”
“I knew after Southern Curiosity had been well-received by this community that I wanted to go pedal to the metal and really go back to my roots and that original dream of wanting to be a country artist,” explains Hagood.“It’s like I’m sitting at a table where I don’t have to explain myself, and I just wish I could invite the younger versions of myself to this moment to say, ‘Look, we’re doing it, and it feels really good.’
Hagood has been named a member of CMT’s 2024 Listen Up Class and was nominated for GLADD’s Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist Award. Earlier this summer, he released his own five-song EP, Smothered, Covered & Fried, featuring collaborations with She Returns From War, Jamie Wyatt, TJ Osborne, The Kentucky Gentlemen and Brooke Eden.
