Six song project due this summer
Hailey Whitters will release her new six-song EP I’m In Love on July 28th via Pigasus/Songs & Daughters/Big Loud. The album’s title track is also available ahead of the official video for the song arriving this Friday, July 14th.
“I knew the minute I heard this song I had to record it,” Whitters shares of the title track. “I didn’t write it (Nicolle Galyon, Lee Miller, & Cameron Bedell did), but I wish I had. I love – pun intended – the quirky language and spirit. Every time I sing it I’m smiling like a big ol sap because it just makes me so happy and puts me in a good mood.”
Where The Dream focused on Whitters’ experience in Nashville and Raised looked back on her life in the heartland, I’m In Love finds her tapping into her ’90s country influences while exploring relationships, heartbreak and finding love.
“My last two LPs were concept records – The Dream being about my Nashville experience, and Raised was a love letter to the heartland I’m from,” the Iowa born country singer states. “Both of these records are foundational to who I am. Along the way I’ve lived a lot of life and learned a lot about myself, and I’m excited to get more personal and straight from the heart with this next chapter. If you’ve made it this far, you know where I’m coming from. Now I’m ready to share where I’ve been and who I am.”
The new EP, produced by Whitters and Jake Gear, follows her rapid ascent after winning New Female Artist of the Year at the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards in May, where she performed her RIAA Gold-certified hit single “Everything She Ain’t.” Her breakout single, “Everything She Ain’t,” has spent 62 weeks on their Country Airplay chart and marked her first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in May. The single has been played over 175 million times on TikTok, inspiring multiple trends on the platform.
Following her headlining Raised Tour, supporting Shania Twain on her Queen of Me Tour, and tour dates with Dierks Bentley earlier this year, Whitters is in the midst of a festival-packed summer with performances at Country Thunder, Faster Horses, Country Jam, TidalWave Music Festival, Bourbon & Beyond, Pilgrimage Music Festival and more. This September, she will hit the road with Eric Church followed by a run of dates supporting Luke Bryan.
