James Dupré preps first album in four years

It’s All Happening drops on August 22nd

It’s all happening for country music singer James Dupré with the release of his emotionally powerful new single “Alright Tonight,” out Friday, July 18th. This heart-wrenching track marks a new chapter for Dupré as he gears up for the Warner Music Nashville release of his long-awaited new album, It’s All Happening, available everywhere August 22nd.

“Alright Tonight” is a deeply reflective ballad that speaks to finding moments of peace amid pain. Co-written by Tom Douglas and Casey Beathard, the track showcases Dupré’s rich baritone voice paired with layered production and heartfelt lyrics. It’s a song about clinging to hope in the face of uncertainty — a feeling that will resonate with anyone who’s faced loss, heartbreak, or personal struggle.

This marks Dupré’s first full-length release in four years, and it’s well worth the wait. With 11 tracks that span heartfelt originals and stand-out covers, the album offers something for every listener, from longtime country fans to those just discovering his signature sound. Packed with powerful storytelling, rich vocals, and timeless instrumentation, It’s All Happening is a vibrant, genre-blending collection that showcases Dupré at his finest.

Throughout the album, Dupré stays true to his unmistakable country roots while showcasing the artistic growth that has defined his journey. From the gritty, upbeat energy of “Deep Down” to the touching tribute to his brother in “Hero In My Eyes” and the raw vulnerability of “Ring On The Bar,” each track stands strong individually while contributing to a larger, powerful narrative. Deeply personal and sonically rich, It’s All Happening is Dupré’s most dynamic release to date.

Following standout moments in his career — from serving as the lead vocalist on the Randy Travis More Life Tour, to his Grand Ole Opry debut, and following the release of his EP Perfect Time — Dupré continues to build unstoppable momentum. For James, It’s All Happening isn’t just an album title — it’s a declaration of where he is: fully in stride, and ready for what’s next.
