Ashley Cooke Unveils Self-Titled Sophomore Album

/by

Ashley Cooke will unveil her self-titled sophomore album on August 14 via Big Loud Records.

“This record feels like a coming-of-age record disguised as a relationship album. I wrote a lot of it dead in the middle of real-life situations where I learned quite a bit about myself, so you’re getting the real, unpolished, recently-realized-truths in 15 tracks,” she shares. “It’s messy, self-reflective, indecisive, filled with honesty, double entendres and emotional duality (I’m a Gemini, duh). Overall, it’s my perception of love and allllll the chaos it entails.”

Cooke wrote the 15-track project alongside Liz Rose, Lori McKenna, Ashley Gorley, Emily Weisband, Seth Ennis and Chase McGill, among others. Produced by Dann Huff, the project features “baby blues,” “excuses” and “the hell you are” from Cooke’s 2025 release, ace.

In celebration of the album, she will release her next single, “high school sweetheart,” on Friday (May 8).

Cooke is set to take the stage at “ACM Next Wave: Country’s Beach Bash” in Las Vegas ahead of a run of festival shows throughout the summer.
