Kyle Clark Proves Things Are ‘Better On A Boat’ On Latest LP, Due In May

/by

Kyle Clark is gearing up for the release of his new album, Better On A Boat, due out May 22. In advance of the new project he released a new single, “Blame It On The Sun.”

“‘Blame It On The Sun’ came from a day when the weather was so perfect and there was no chance I was gonna get anything done,” says Clark. “I ended up down by the water, drink in hand, and next thing I know the whole day’s gone. All spent doing a whole lot of nothing but having fun. If anybody’s got a problem with it, it ain’t on me… it’s on the sun.”

Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and raised in Jefferson, Georgia, Clark’s signature coastal-country perspective guides the album’s sound. He wrote all 10 tracks on the project alongside Marc Beeson, Kat Higgins, Joybeth Taylor, Averie Bielski, Madison Kozak and more. The project was produced and mixed by Clark and mastered by Sam Moses.

“Better On A Boat represents the mindset and way of living I naturally gravitate toward,” Clark says of the new single. “It’s about life on the water, slowing things down, being present, and finding joy in the simple moments. The boat has always been a place where everything feels clear to me. Life’s just better.”

An established force in Nashville’s songwriting community, Clark recently co-wrote “Let Him In Anyway,” Blake Shelton’s current single. He previously earned his first Platinum certification with “Villain” byLily Rose, and his growing catalog includes cuts with Hardy, Jon Pardi, Dylan Scott, Mitchell Tenpenny, Restless Road, Mackenzie Carpenter, Erin Kinsey, and Chayce Beckham.
