His first album in four years, Worthy is a reintroduction to East and his music, showcasing a portrait of the artist and person East has become and soundtracking his journey of personal and creative resilience, redemption and transformation.

Co-produced with longtime collaborator Dave Cobb, the 10-track collection is inspired by a pure love of song and sound and drips with Muscle Shoals radiance and soulful horns. East tapped Natalie Hemby, Lori McKenna, Aaron Raitiere, Ashley Monroe and Trent Dabbs to help capture the project’s moments of vulnerability, surrealist confessions and unvarnished testimonials.

East will preview some of the tracks from Worthy at a show at The Basement in Nashville on Feb. 10.
