Project set for Feb 19th
Buzzed-about newcomer Lainey Wilson has announced her hotly-anticipated studio album, Sayinโ What Iโm Thinkinโ is set to release February 19th via BBR Music Group/Broken Bow Records. Those who pre-order the album will immediately have access to the brand new track and album opener, โNeon Diamonds,” a song which a prominent TV booker said he hadnโt โheard a more perfect โgrab-you-inโ start to an album since Thriller.”
A prolific songwriter, Wilson co-wrote every song on the album, generously and courageously sharing her thoughts, stories, feelings and heart with the world. The lyrics, rooted in messages of honesty, thoughtfulness and authenticity showcase the Louisiana nativeโs awe-inspiring self-awareness, empowering others with her strength through vulnerability. As producer, GRAMMY Award-winning mastermind, Jay Joyce, brought Wilson’s signature โBell Bottom Countryโ sound to life, which blends traditional country with a funky, yet modern flare.
โI am proud of every piece of this record and all the people that have helped bring it to fruition,โ states Wilson. โFinally being able to share this body of work is the most fulfilling and rewarding moment of my life thus far.โ
Sayinโ What Iโm Thinkinโ includes her current radio single, โThings A Man Oughta Know,โ which has garnered more than 35 million streams, earning a place on Spotifyโs Nashvilleโs Worldwide Hot 50 and has been in the Top 5 consumption per spin and streams per spin for the past 17 consecutive weeks. A fan and critic favorite, the song was featured in NPRโs Best Music of 2019 saying it, โproves [Wilson] capable of blending a thoroughly countrified vocal approach with digitally sharpened contemporary production, thanks to the suppleness and body of her honeyed, crystalline twang.โ
Already having music featured in the hit series Yellowstone three times, the rockstar performer has earned a host of recognition as a rising starโbeing named to a slew of โones to watchโ lists (Pandora, The Boot, Sounds Like Nashville, etc.) including MusicRowโs โNext Big Thing 2021,โ being a part of CMTโs Next Women of Country and CMTโs Listen Up programs and being featured in publications like Forbes, Rolling Stone, New York Times, Billboard and NPR.
The โvocalist of unmatched talent, humbled by her characteristic humor and wit,โ (American Songwriter) will return to the Grand Ole Opry stage Saturday, February 20th as part of her week-long celebrations for the albumโs launch. Additional launch plans will be announced in the coming weeks.
